I know most won’t stop doom scrolling to listen @HC_Richardson … but this 7:59 one was too important not to share as a transcript
Understand what’s going on
🚩He is stealing our elections , “🚩fortifying the front door” and will 🚩install 9’ fences around the WH and area surrounding the WH
THIS is not the work of someone who plans to leave
Read it ⬇️.. chilling
In 100 cases over the past decade involving a major Trump administration policy position or in which Trump himself was a party, Alito’s votes aligned with Trump 89% of the time, the highest rate of any justice, according to a @WSJ analysis. @jamesromoser https://t.co/d7JH7lHGE0
MSNOW interviews a man who lives five houses down from where Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed. He says agents were combing his property for bullet casings.
MSNOW: Here’s what doesn’t make sense to me. The chase ended right here behind me, where this memorial is. That man’s property is about five homes down. So my question is: What were these agents looking for in front of his house? Why were they combing through the grass right in front of his property?

GOP county chair for Sen. Jon Husted‘s (R-OH) campaign quits fast after reporters ask about his jail time over a 15-year-old.
Proving yet again that every Republican accusation is a confession.

Ossoff, to conservatives:
"Why are gangs of masked men... [in our cities] shooting people? What happened to 'Don't tread on me?' Are there any principled conservatives left?"
Good question.
Conservatives cannot claim a belief in liberty if they refuse to speak out against ICE.
@AZ_Brittney Trump priorities are evident. He is a Future Faker: He promised a detailed picture of America First with zero intent of making it happen. Trump priorities have not put America first. He is busy tearing down the house.
This costs about $3M per day to have 5000 guardsmen in Washington DC.
There are 924 days until Inauguration Day so it’s going to cost taxpayers about $2.7B for this ridiculous stunt.
Wasting money is Trump’s signature economic policy.
Notice what this administration didn't do. It didn't argue the food insecurity numbers were wrong. It didn't publish a competing methodology. It just canceled the survey and, in its own words, called three decades of USDA data collection "fear mongering."
That's the tell running through every example in this piece. Not correction. Deletion. A pregnancy risk tracker the CDC used to fight infant mortality, made inaccessible through staffing cuts rather than any stated policy change. The CIA World Factbook, gone. Weather balloon launches quietly reduced in the western United States until meteorologists themselves started saying their confidence in the models had eroded.
Jerome Powell called it "driving in the fog" last year, when a government shutdown delayed jobs data the Fed needed to set interest rates for the entire country. That fog isn't an accident of budget cuts anymore. It's becoming the operating condition. When the public can't see the data, the public can't check the claims, and an administration that doesn't want its claims checked has just found the cheapest way to arrange that.
Notice the sequence, because it matters. Vance didn't repeat a rumor he mistakenly believed. He was told directly by Springfield's city manager that the pet eating claim was baseless, and he amplified it to eleven million views anyway. That's not an error. That's a choice, made by a man who has spoken openly about his faith shaping his politics.
The part that should bother anyone paying attention isn't just the hoax. It's what happened when the hoax got debunked within eight days. The women whose Facebook posts started it apologized, having realized their claims were rumor. Vance never did. He offered instead an admission that he "creates stories," a euphemism for lying, dressed up as media strategy.
Now the TPS protections that hoax helped justify politically are actually ending, with real people losing the legal right to work as of today. Whatever problems existed in Springfield, and there were some, real strain on clinics and services, were already being covered honestly before Vance decided the truth needed embellishing. He chose the lie anyway, and the lie became policy.
“Presumably afraid of investigations into his actions, Pres. Donald J. Trump appears to have abandoned all pretense of governing for the good of the country and is focusing on rigging the 2026 election to keep Republicans in power.”

And this is:
The President of the United States:
— Just signed an order revoking Chris Krebs’s security clearance and directed @DOJ to investigate him for his role in the overthrow of the U.S. government on November 3, 2020.
Krebs was the head of CISA, who weaponized his position and conspired with the FBI and Big Tech to censor truth, evidence, proof, and testimony during and after the overthrow on November 3, 2020—and who designated the 2020 election as the most “secure election in American history.”

Freedom of Information Act:
Documents obtained by investigative journalist @yehuda_miller through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal:
— A secret meeting organized on Election Day, November 3, 2020, by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), involving Dominion officials, the FBI, and Antifa, to discuss the overthrow of the United States government with private left-leaning companies and Democratic groups.
The list includes over 200 names of individuals, government entities, private businesses, media outlets, and tech giants. It includes members from Dominion, ES&S, ERIC Systems, Amazon, Runbeck, Microsoft, Scytl, several Secretary of State offices, the Associated Press, and leftist groups.
Several high-profile individuals included Jennifer Morrell with the Elections Group (wife of CIA Mike Morell—who conspired with the 51 intelligence officials), Ryan Macias with The Lafayette Group, Antifa member Eric Coomer with Dominion, and Jocelyn Benson, the Michigan Secretary of State, and the Serbian intermediary—whom I am certain brought her NGO along. Not a single conservative was invited. Not one.
NYT reporting about an engineer who left voluntarily when threatened with deportation back to Mexico where she was born. She came here at age four months. Raised here. Educated here. Has lived a productive, abiding life here. Cruel and senseless.
SCOTUS: Carpenter vs United States (2018): "Individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the comprehensive record of their physical movements."
Flock cameras are in direct violation of the 4th Amendment.
Trump is paying himself a 2.5% general contractor's fee on his 400 million dollar
ballroom.
That's 10 million dollars.
When will MAGA stop making excuses for his corruption?
The Norwegian fans may be rowing home on the baggage carousel... 🚣🇳🇴😂
But what a World Cup you gave us. You brought color, passion, smiles and unforgettable moments wherever you went. ❤️
And your team... thank you for the football and the memories. It was a joy to watch. Safe travels, Vikings! 🇳🇴👏

Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium.
No cobalt.
No rare-earth metals.
Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide.
The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems. But unlike conventional batteries, it doesn’t rely on chemical reactions.
It relies on physics.
When wind and solar farms produce more electricity than the grid needs, that extra energy is used to compress carbon dioxide into a liquid. The process releases heat, which is captured and stored.
Later, when electricity demand rises, the stored heat turns the liquid CO₂ back into a gas.
As the gas expands, it spins a turbine and generates electricity.
Then the cycle begins again.
The carbon dioxide never leaves the system.
It stays sealed inside, circulating in a continuous closed loop.
That is what makes the technology so different.
There is no lithium.
No cobalt.
No dependence on critical mineral supply chains.
Instead, the system is built mainly from steel, water, and carbon dioxide.
It is also designed to last.
Developers say the facility can deliver electricity for up to ten hours on a full charge and continue operating for more than 25 years without the gradual loss of storage capacity that affects many conventional batteries.
As more countries shift toward wind and solar power, one challenge continues to grow.
What happens when the wind stops blowing or the sun goes down?
Projects like this are trying to answer that question.
Not by replacing renewable energy.
But by finding new ways to store it until it is needed.
Sleazy anti-net-zero Farage, Tice, and Reform UK will be furious.
