Dare we say, Duh?
In time, fossil fuel will find away to corrupt or close this AI machine, just as it’s corrupting Zeldin and closing EPA science.

One thread of a creepy campaign.
Billionaire Bromance Breakup week in DC 💔
Whether true or not, it says a lot about the creepy, self-serving power of billionaires in our current politics that one man — one megabillionaire — could think it’s true.
And he wants “gratitude” — of what type, one might ask?
Is billionaire Elon just having a ‘Teenage Tantrum’ that billionaire Trump broke up with him? Or is he serious and will he follow through on his threats to Republicans who vote for the Big Abominable Bill? Inquiring minds want to know.
Billionaire Trump finds out billionaire Leo was two-timing him with billionaire Kochs, calls Leo out as “sleazebag.” Billionaire Musk feels “ingratitude,” goes ballistic on billionaire Trump’s “Abomination Bill.” Yeah, let’s trust billionaires with government.
BILLIONAIRE BROMANCE BREAKUP WEEK IN DC!!
Don’t much agree with Will, particularly when he’s in his climate denial mode, but I do here. Trump/Russia is a thing and it is dangerous and weird.
Btw, the full McCain quote was “a gas station run by gangsters with an army.”
Trump started with an economy that was “the envy of the world,” and trashed it with tariff chaos and endemic corruption.

Trump got played.
Putin knows TACO.
A Big, Beautiful-for-Billionaires Bill.
In Trump’s world, facts don’t matter and the truth is whatever his fossil fuel donors say it is.
Tonight, I’m heading to the Senate Floor for my 299th Time to Wake Up speech.
On Musk’s attacks on the Abominable Bill, Republicans say: “I think the question for our members is going to be, ‘Would you prefer the alternative?’ And the alternative isn’t a good one.” Yeah, it’s a bunch of angry billionaire donors not getting their tax favors.
Funny to watch “House of Koch” operation swing into action to defend Leonard Leo and his Court-capture schemers from “House of Trump” after Trump rant. I still think the back story is Trump coming to realize that “House of Koch” picked his justices.
The spin of the Court-capture scheme (via its PolluterPage) is that their judges adhere to principle. Right. What Trump is noticing is that they don’t; that fossil fuel interests always win and he doesn’t. In effect, he got played, and it’s starting to sink in.
