  1. Somehow I missed this. Bankers everywhere are celebrating. https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409464
  2. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-musk-faa-firings-purge-air-safety-1235271233/
  3. Pretty sure we all know how the members of the Nebraska Cattlemen Association voted. https://nebraska.tv/news/local/federal-layoffs-impact-nebraska-research-farm-raising-concerns Federal layoffs surprise Nebraska cattle research center, sparking concern from cattlemen
  4. Because Tesla receives so many of them. And I don't how the selling of the credits works, but I suspect Tesla can name the price: https://carboncredits.com/teslas-carbon-credit-revenue-soars-to-2-76-billion-amid-profit-drop/#:~:text=More impressively%2C the company's total,struggle to meet regulatory targets.
  5. Essentially, Tesla receives credits from various governments around the world for producing zero emission vehicles. They in turn sell these credits to Ford, GM, etc so they can use them to offset F-250's, Hellcats, etc. https://www.globalfleet.com/en/manufacturers/global/analysis/teslas-dominance-over-carbon-credit-market-explained?t[0]=Tesla&t[1]=Electrification&curl=1
  6. I have no idea about any of the machinations of FEMA, past storms, time limits, etc. But this is pretty simple: Kemp didn't sufficiently bend the knee after the 2020 election, so Trump is going to fuck over the state of Georgia.
  7. Next? They are already fucking with the past hurricane season: https://www.ajc.com/politics/trump-administration-denies-kemps-bid-to-extend-hurricane-helene-aid-deadline/33QKIFIHXVHWPMDEUP7WWKXR4U/ Trump administration denies Kemp’s bid to extend Hurricane Helene aid deadline
  8. I figure it means that the IRS will publicly apologize to Trump for years of audits and hand him a refund for $1 billion or so in the Oval.
  9. "Transitioning". But not what they think it is.
  10. RE: Fox News and the influence it has. Earlier today, the kids and I ate at a small diner outside of town. They had a pair of TV's on broadcasting Fox, on mute---with the captioning turned on. A segment on egg prices was played, and the chyron on the screen correctly stated it was because of bird flu, but the 3 people they interviewed on the segment (all some government official) clearly blamed the problem not on bird flu, but Biden policies that did not prevent bird flu. One person claimed the reason this was such a bad deal now is because the Biden admin slaughtered all these chickens. So, yeah----this is what is being fed to the populace. In 2024, it was Biden's fault egg prices were high. In 2025, it's bird flu, but the bird flu is Biden's fault.
