The government’s own data rebuts Trump’s claims about wind and solar prices

“States that embrace renewable energy are far more likely to save money for electricity consumers than those relying on fossil fuels or nuclear power, a POLITICO analysis of federal and industry data shows — findings that undermine one of the Trump administration’s main justifications for its aggressive rollback of federal clean energy policies.”

Trump Blames Autism on Tylenol While Americans Prep for the Rapture on TikTok | The Daily Show

Posted on by Lone Candle

The president of the United States rambled falsities about important health science. Not good. Bad.

I’m all for a serious evidence-based discussion on the risks and benefits of different medications, but the nation’s leader ad libbing bullshit is not helpful.
