On the latest episode of The Argument, @mattyglesias remembers when Climate Defiance activists stormed the stage of the first Abundance Conference to protest his talk. The protesters were upset by Matt's defense of Kamala Harris, who opposed a ban on fracking.
But why aren't those same activists now protesting pro-fossil fuel Democrats like James Talarico and Mary Peltola? Matt and @JerusalemDemsas discuss the disconnect between what climate activists want from Democrats and what those same Democrats are actually promising voters when it comes to oil and gas.

In the rush to build data centers, companies are starting to use their own off grid gas generators. This results in much higher emissions – 60% to 80% – compared with using their local electricity grid and risks locking in longer-term fossil dependence.

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003

In a country with 330 million people and only two political parties, you need to be able to cooperate with people who you don’t agree with about everything which is hard if one faction insists all disagreement is a form of corruption.

At minimum, we should note that if a Democratic administration had a White House press secretary who had worked for a Chinese law firm in Beijing for years, we would already have a Dinesh D’Souza documentary, a special episode of Tucker Carlson, a week’s worth of programming from Glenn Beck, and about a hundred Donald Trump social media posts about it.

Mamdani: There is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five year old in the car. Look at how many people live right here. This is a residential neighborhood. We are right here by a subway.
And the pretext of ICE is, in their words, to keep this country safe. How is it keeping everyone safe to have, as you just heard from the police commissioner, individuals wearing construction vests in masks with long guns? Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents, or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. And when it comes to ICE, it begs the question, what's the difference? There is no explanation for this.

Amazing. The enrollment in Seattle Public Schools is the same as it was in 2014, but there are an extra 1000 full-time employees on the payroll, and the budget has doubled. All while test scores have declined considerably.

Public executions. Net energy exporter. Gilded palaces. Humiliation at the hands of the Houthis. We've finally done it. We're Saudi Arabia.

One funny thing about the environmentalist groups who don’t like permitting reform is that, well, of course you don’t like it. You’re the people who abuse NEPA and cause the problems the bill is trying to solve. Drunk drivers don’t like bills cracking down on drunk driving either

I don’t know how any Senator looks at this treatment of Whitehouse and Heinrich and sees any upside to working with these groups anymore. WH, especially, has been THEIR GUY, and they’re selling him out the minute he gets to the 2 yd line because some degree of compromise is reqd
such great reporting by @SiegelScribe scribe in AM about the utilities' fading clout on the hill.
