Republican book banning America’s right-wing forces would have you believe that they are the courageous entities standing up for free speech.

PEN America, a non-profit organization committed to protecting free expression, published an alarming report Tuesday indicating that the “book ban crisis” is only getting worse. The bans are “speeding up,” the organization warned in its report, a troublesome trend that is impacting public school systems from coast-to-coast. - CNN

Russian state TV broadcasters who once treated racist MAGA-fool Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as a joke now believe she's worthy of being taken very seriously - after she made comments defending Putin.
The republican "useful idiot " MTG believes
that because Putin has not actually stated "publicly" that he would "march across Europe" then that means he would nevercross the border of any NATO country, let invade Europe!
That's her blissfully stupid MAGA thinking.
May God have mercy...

A coal billionaire is building the world’s biggest clean energy plant
CNN —
The scale of the project transforming swathes of barren salt desert on the edge of western India into one of the most important sources of clean energy anywhere on the planet is overwhelming! Five times the size of Paris. Visible from space. The world’s biggest energy plant. Enough electricity to power Switzerland.

The success of the Khavda Renewable Energy Park is critical to India’s efforts to reduce pollution and hit its climate goals while meeting the burgeoning energy needs of the world’s most populous nation and fastest-growing major economy. Coal still accounts for 70% of the electricity India generates.

The tycoon's group is now pouring billions into the clean energy sector.
It plans to invest $100 billion into energy transition over the next decade, with 70% of the investments ear-marked for clean energy.

The ACP is running out of funds — and republicans in Congress shows no signs they will approve more. Policy experts have described the situation as a fast-approaching economic crisis and a major step backward for closing the digital divide between internet haves and have-nots.
In May, that hard reality will begin to set in as more than 23 million other households will receive only partial benefits before the ACP is shut down for good, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has warned, a financial shock that could make it even harder for low-income US households to get by.

American oil tycoon accused of trying to conspire with OPEC to inflate prices
New York CNN —
Scott Sheffield, founder and longtime CEO of a leading American oil producer, attempted to collude with OPEC and its allies to inflate prices, federal regulators alleged on Thursday.
The Federal Trade Commission said Sheffield, then CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, exchanged hundreds of text messages discussing pricing, production and oil market dynamics with officials at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, the oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia.
Regulators say Sheffield used WhatsApp conversations, in-person meetings and public statements to try to “align oil production” in the Permian Basin in Texas with that of OPEC and OPEC+, the wider group that includes Russia.
“Mr. Sheffield’s communications were designed to pad Pioneer’s bottom line — as well as those of oil companies in OPEC and OPEC+ member states — at the expense of US households and businesses,” the FTC complaint said.
Unlike with OPEC nations, US oil production is supposed to be decided by the free market, not by collusion among the major players.

Fox’s "migrants-displaced-vets" source was charged with FRAUD.
The conservative network hasn’t mentioned it.
After Fox News promoted a hoax about homeless veterans being “evicted” from New York hotels to house migrants last year, some of the network’s anchors said they would provide viewers more information “as we get it.”
That promise was apparently disingenuous: Fox has yet to report that the originator of the bogus story now faces federal FRAUD charges.
Toney-Smith’s tale collapsed within days, as local news outlets reported that she had fabricated her story and the homeless veterans had never existed.
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Sharon Toney-Finch, an Army veteran with multiple counts of fraud.

“This is pretty infuriating, homeless vets who served our great country, they’re being put out on the street and replaced by illegal immigrants,” Sean Hannity alleged in one such segment.
FoxNews, which relentlessly portrays migrants as dangerous criminals conducting an “invasion” of the United States, picked up Toney-Fitch’s hoax.
Fox News and Fox Business gave the story, - which Fox claimed to have “confirmed” - more than an hour of credulous coverage over six days.

Trump would make America’s inflation crisis worse, 16 Nobel economists warn
16 Nobel Prize-winning economists are warning that Trump’s proposals wouldn’t just fail to fix inflation — they would make matters worse.
“We the undersigned are deeply concerned about the risks of a second Trump administration for the US economy,” the economists wrote in the Tuesday letter, which was first reported by Axios.
The letter, organized by famed economist Joseph Stiglitz, argued there are valid reasons to worry the Trump agenda will “reignite” inflation.
