The moves include loosening environmental rules, but it is unclear how much they can help reverse the sharp decline in coal power over the last two decades.
Sure, if you're getting paid cash with no 1099 and no w2, you can get away with it. Most people, not so much.

In a series of narrow and technical rulings, the justices have seemed to take pains to avoid a showdown with a president who has challenged the judiciary’s legitimacy.
Inside a New Mexico lab, researchers estimate there is five bottle caps worth of plastic in human brains. Now they are trying to find out its effects.
Billionaire investors are in an unfamiliar position, watching and cringing as tariffs roll on and the stock market reels.

The spill was confined to a field, and a nearby stream was isolated as a precaution, officials said.
The agreement is a major departure from the Internal Revenue Service’s previous stance encouraging migrants to file their taxes.
I didn’t know this until this morning. And I’m surprised it hasn’t...
This means no tax enforcement against billionaires.

Part of the reasoning behind the structure of the Inflation Reduction Act was that Republicans wouldn't cut off their nose to spite their face. They turned out to have a lot more spite than expected.
For sure, as is apartment owner support for installing chargers, which is mostly what I've seen around here
Interesting. The place that matters for chargers is usually home, where people install their own — public chargers are basically for when you're on a road trip, and wouldn't have charged up the night before.
Don't actually. Just make it boring and empty. If you have porn, they can do things like lie you and say that one of the girls was underage, and then use the threat of prosecution to coerce you into serving as an informant or the likes.

I'm hearing it second-hand, supposedly from folks at Indivisible.
Nationally, it's something like 2.3 million who signed up. Probably more who turned out.

That's ok. Most people never read the article, so you're ahead of them.
It's not clear exactly what will break or when; things are too chaotic to really be sure until it does
That's part of it, but they're destroying everything in the US government which benefits people over billionaires, and this is just another piece of that.
