The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.

Think about that.

At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.

Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.

Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.

Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.

Governments usually spend money to build things.

This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration has detained nearly half a million immigrants, according to a report. But the number of children they leave behind and what happens to them, most of whom are U.S. citizens, is largely unknown.

Since most men believe men understand math and statistics better than women, here are a few global stats to keep in mind the next time your uncontrollable urge to type “not all men” kicks in:

• Approximately 98–99% of documented rape and sexual assault offenders are men.
• Approximately 88% of violent crimes are committed by men.
• Approximately 90–95% of homicide perpetrators are men.
• Approximately 90–95% of serial killers are men.
• Around 80% of acid attack victims are women, and nearly 90% of identified perpetrators are men.
• Approximately 95% of the world’s prison population is male.
• Nearly 1 in 3 women globally have experienced physical and/or sexual violence, overwhelmingly perpetrated by men.

No, it’s not all men. But statistics explain why women cannot afford to assume which men are safe.

What no one is asking now is WHY Gabbard was being run by a cult? For decades, Russia has worked to inject itself into spiritual cults (Maharishi, ISKCON, SIF) to 1) get people staring at their navels instead of taking political or practical action, 2) bring about “world peace” by capturing and dismantling US capabilities.

The “antiwar” movement is a left-right capture play and has been on display at recent events such as “Rage Against the War Machine” and “Rally to Rescue the Republic” which are run by the Libertarian Party, the Schiller Institute, the Ron Paul network, and the RFK Jr network — as well as the full menagerie of RU/CN proxies. Gabbard is fully part of that network and has spoken at those events.

This network goes back decades in various forms and has been at the heart of the anti-war and anti-nuclear “movements” which have been fluffed by Russia, and more recently by China.

Gabbard isn’t some one-off whack-job proxy of a rogue cult leader: this is an assault by our adversaries in a long game of information warfare and state capture, and those adversaries now have every state secret she cared to locate and share. We are less secure now. Congrats.

I’m not telling you anything here that wasn’t known during her confirmation hearings. Which means the Senate was derelict of duty, and complicit.

Some will also remember when Tulsi was briefly chair of the DNC, a Sanders Institute fellow, and a darling of the left cheering on Julian Assange. She was always a snake and her goal was to infiltrate and destroy the Democratic Party.

Next time maybe more people will pay attention to those doing closer reads of the signals instead of flitting from scandal to scandal.

[Steven Hassan, PhD @CultExpert]

All spot on analysis in my professional experience and opinion. My expertise is brainwashing, cults, understanding how authoritarian malignant narcissists operate. I was in the room at Moon leadership meetings in 1974/ 1975 discussing how democracy is satanic and how we needed to infiltrate the government to take control and install a theocracy. Please learn!!!

🚨🚨🚨A standing ovation for the Washington Post, @wapo . 👏👏👏

You spent a full year investigating whether America's Director of National Intelligence, the woman with access to every classified secret this country has, was being directed by a cult leader who got busted for pyramid schemes in multiple countries.

And you held it until she resigned?

This same cult leader, Chris Butler, has his sect directly tied to QI Group (QNET), a Hong Kong-based company with operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

So the real question: Which countries now have access to our national intelligence? Which of our spy names are compromised?

And let's not forget, this is the same Tulsi Gabbard who used her position to do a coordinated hit job on Dr. Fauci, a man who spent his entire life saving Americans.

Imagine if this story dropped while she still had her hands on our nation's secrets.

Our press and mainstream media are failing us at every level.

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

A Connecticut mother is suing the federal government after masked, armed ICE agents surrounded her vehicle while she was taking her children to school, removed and handcuffed her without displaying a warrant, and abducted her without properly confirming that the children had a caretaker.

Nancy Martinez was deported to Mexico and her children (American citizens, ages 8 and 13) remained in New Haven without their mother.

According to the complaint, her daughter has assumed substantial responsibility for her younger brother, who has developmental disabilities, and both children have experienced continuing psychological and educational harm.

The allegations in this lawsuit are appalling.

None of us are safer because of this cruelty.

Separating families and traumatizing children is disgusting. I'm glad she's suing and standing up for her family because if these fascists get away with doing this to immigrants, you better believe they're gonna come for US citizens next.

These fascist experiments brutalizing immigrants are meant to test the waters of what they can get away with. If Americans don't stand up against this, it'll be the Japanese internment camps all over again, but for suspected political dissidents, and for anyone who dares to criticize the rich and powerful.

Supporting this behavior while pretending you're a "patriot" or that you're "protecting kids" are characteristics of a very violent and manipulative psychopathy that should never be normalized.

How can any true, God-fearing, Christian conservatives ever support something that is so incongruent to their faith? It's so messed up.

[The Road Jess Travelled @JessPected]

This is actually a common justification from the right for child marriage & it should be noted how much of the attacks on child marriage bans, abortion, birth control, education, & feminism come down to conservatives wanting to rape & impregnate children. It's a core value.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding administrative procedures, and an executive order that few people are paying attention to. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: https://t.co/8dvrOO8Zy6

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Exactly. This is the part that should haunt people.

SNAP enrollment fell by 4.7 million after Trump’s bill, and where states report age data, about half the decline comes from kids losing food aid. That is being sold as anti-fraud, because “we made hungry children disappear from the rolls” sounds worse in a press release.

And the mechanism matters. More paperwork. Tougher work rules. Fewer exemptions. States punished for payment errors, while wrongful denials do not count the same way.

That creates a very ugly incentive: when in doubt, cut them off.

A government that can find room for regressive tax cuts but not lunch for children has not discovered fiscal discipline. It has misplaced its moral compass in a filing cabinet.
