You got your farm in my solar plant! You got your solar plant in my farm!
Renewable energy and farms often compete for the same land, but they donāt have to be mutually exclusive. My story on #agrivoltaics in Illinois

1. Axios doesn't quite get it but there are two scandals here: (1) reporters (seemingly) having access to tapes from Situation Room and (2) Situation Room repeatedly used as place to plot out covering up Epstein case. Scandal (1) would be serious enough in normal times but Scandal (2) is the real real outrage
SCOOP: Top White House officials believe NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their new book.
Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth. axios.com/2026/06/14/trump-sā¦

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."

State Sen. Joey Garcia is trying to "fix it." After regretting his pro-data center vote, he introduced new legislation to restore local control & increase tax revenue for WV communities.

If Trump announced this yesterday, it is possible that he could've gotten FISA extended.

Sanders instantly distancing the progressive movement from Harris's defeat, after campaigning for Biden and calling him a progressive president, was smart and keeps paying off.
Not BS; Harris was scared to run on progressive economic ideas. But good strategy. Progressives won the "this is why we lost" argument as the rest of the party stumbled around.

New: Bernie Sanders is on a hot streak, and Graham Platner's blowout win hands progressives fresh ammo as they argue Dems need more outsiders who can separate themselves from the national party brand.

Energy =/= environment =/= climate, and E&E has been an indispensable resource for coverage of all three. Really nasty stuff for Politico to shut it down after a messy acquisition and basically pretend those last 2 don't exist

New: Politico is folding E&E, the energy trade publication it bought in 2020.
The company says it is reorganizing its energy coverage under the Politico brand and launching a series of new state and global energy newsletters.

Really interesting line in OpenAI's 'Hey, Leading the Future ain't us!' statement:
"We believe AI policy is too consequential to be treated as just another front in partisan politics."
NEW statement from OpenAI distancing itself from Leading the Future, the super PAC backed by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman.
"As theyāve stated before, any engagement with that organization has been in a personal capacity, not on behalf of the company. OpenAI does not direct the activities of LTF, or have visibility into their operations."
"We want to be explicit: No outside political group speaks for OpenAI or represents our companyās views."
