AP laid off some of the people who work the hardest and complain the least, and truly keep @AP running. No AP bosses intervened to spare some invaluable news folks already dealing with family tragedies. So sorry, and all best, @jeffamy
I had amazing experiences with @AP, whether wading in the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey, living the aftermath of Georgia’s 2020 election or chronicling a mentally ill Elvis impersonator framed for attempted poisoning of Barack Obama by a child-molesting taekwondo instructor.

It needs to be said, accountability is still in short supply in the halls of Congress.
We can and should do better to protect staff from abusive members.

This is big news - I worked at NERC for years and we never issued one in my nearly 3 years there. This is an incredibly important warning that everyone should pay attention to, and act accordingly (I’m talking to you, policymakers!).

The North American Electric Reliability Corp. tells FERC that data centers are amplifying grid instability.
It plans to issue a Level 3 alert🚨, which is the most critical level, identifying immediate actions that must be taken by entities to ensure grid security & reliability.

I just signed and announced a nationwide E15 and E10 fuel waiver to fortify U.S. fuel supply. This waiver ensures a robustly available supply of domestic fuel, providing Americans further relief at the pumps, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil. This means lower energy costs for ALL Americans—fulfilling President Trump’s Day One Executive Orders. epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-for…
