Weird week. I am now apparently PMing a 3.7 MWh battery installation at the high school. That's like 250 Tesla power walls in a shipping container. AMA?

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

But it involved a 1980 diesel rabbit and a newish-looking East Bay Regional Park District Police Department cruiser on Skyline Blvd. No harm came of the incident

For $1 billion a day we could add enough solar panels to double the generating capacity of the US grid in less than five years.

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits.

Republicans are telling the American peopleβ€”there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks.

Just never any money for health care or families here at home.
