Fantastic article at The New Yorker about how far we’ve come with solar energy in just the last few years. I’m only halfway through but it’s already hitting on so much progress. I was feeling this last year when I bought solar panels for camping. When the costs finally work, it changes everything.

The Supreme Court opens the door to mass federal layoffs

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/the-supreme-court-opens-the-door-to-mass-federal-layoffs/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

On Tuesday the Supreme Court lifted an order by a lower court that prevented the Trump administration from laying off thousands of federal workers. While the order was unsigned – meaning that the justices have not yet ruled on its legality – this is one of several recent decisions in which the court has sided with President Donald Trump in his effort to upend the government by firing federal workers and regulators. 

Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Supreme Court correspondent Ann Marimow about how the court came to this decision and what the rulings could mean for Trump’s agenda in the future. 

Today’s show was produced by Arjun Singh, with help from Elana Gordon and Tadeo Ruiz Sandoval. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Debbi Wilgoren.
