Trump saved this old-fashioned lightbulb. Biden’s now phasing it out. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2022/04/26/biden-incandescent-lightbulb-ban-trump/
"The end has come for the old-fashioned incandescent lightbulb.
The Energy Department finalized two rules Monday requiring manufacturers to sell energy-efficient lightbulbs, effectively putting a “sell-by” date on older, inefficient bulbs that don’t meet the new standards. The move will speed the pace of a lighting revolution that is already well underway, driving down electricity use, saving consumers money and slashing greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector."

Tesla shares fell 12% Tuesday to $876, pushing the stock down more than 28% from its all-time high in November and wiping $25 billion from Musk's fortune and $128 billion from Tesla's market capitalization, which now stands at $906 billion." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Borrowers are currently benefiting from a moratorium on paying off their student loans that lasts until Aug. 31, a pandemic-induced pause that began under the Trump administration. The White House has come under considerable pressure from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to cancel the liabilities outright, rather than repeatedly extending the moratorium as it has been doing." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Donald Trump's social media app, Truth Social, has had horrible reviews, tech issues, banning reports and now with Elon Musk buying Twitter, it might be doomed. John Iadarola, Francesca Fiorentini and Viviana Vigil break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Truth Social Review: Trump’s Uncensored Social App Is Incomplete - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/27/technology/personaltech/truth-social-review-trump.html "The heightened interest in Truth Social, which debuted in February, was driven by a recent tech upgrade of the app that allowed a flood of users to join it. At the same time, there is more uncertainty about Twitter. Some Twitter users deactivated their accounts this week after the news broke that Mr. Musk was buying the site and questions arose about how he might change the platform. Truth Social has long positioned itself as an alternative to Twitter and Facebook, both of which famously barred Mr. Trump from their sites after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol last year. The app has marketed itself as an uncensored platform that will not discriminate against users for their political beliefs. It and other apps like it, such as Rumble and Parler, take a hands-off approach to moderation, in theory so that people can converse freely without being barred."

The photos showed Cawthorn — who’s been weirdly obsessed with the supposed “feminization” of young men by the LGBTQIA community — donning women’s jewelry and lingerie while on a cruise. Cawthorn did his best to put his own telling spin on the photos, but he’s going to have a harder time explaining away his latest highly publicized gaffe. On Tuesday morning, Cawthorn was cited for having a gun while catching a flight at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. According to the TSA, the 9-millimeter handgun was loaded though it’s not clear whether the weapon was on Cawthorn’s person or in his carry-on." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
