Folks in the political media are still arguing over how many Americans will lose their health insurance over the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill which is looking too big and not beautiful enough. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett recently made some assertions which are debunked by Politifact and FactCheck.org.
Donald Trump has always had this inexplicable revulsion against windmills and wind farms. Recently, he said: "I have a great relationship with President Xi but I asked him, how many wind farms do you have? He makes (wind energy components), but they don't have a lot of wind farms, I'll tell you, very, very few. And wind is tremendously expensive and is very ugly." I have no idea how wind could be "ugly" but as Politifact notes, China accounts for more than 44% of the world's wind energy capacity.
And as the Associated Press notes, almost everything Trump says about wind power is just plain wrong.
The folks cheering what ICE is doing seem to be under the impression that everyone (or almost everyone) getting detained, deported or just scared outta their minds is a vicious criminal and we're all better off without them in our midst. But as the Associated Press notes, ICE is going after a lot of people who can in no way be described as criminals.
And Steve Benen thinks that Trump's threats to revoke the citizenship of Rosie O'Donnell and others should be taken more seriously; not that he'd necessarily do that but that he really seems to think he can do anything.
