This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

Hey MSM, ask RFK Jr to define 'inflammation'. Ask him to define 'mitochondria'. Ask him how, specifically, that he can tell how children have 'mitochondrial challenges'. Ask him what, specifically, about children's faces and body movement indicates inflammation. He won't know. He's making shit up.

My first reaction seeing Lavrov on US TV is why are they platforming his propaganda? But actually it turned out to be pretty useful because Americans get to hear their real position - all the despicably & intransigence - while Trump & Vance are claiming they are being reasonable.
