How extensive is the lithium deposit that has been found in Arkansas.

As I understand the lithium euphoria, wells will be drilled or existing wells utilized to produce water. Lots of water! Submersible pumps will be required, thus requiring lots of electricity. The produced water is very salty and is referred to as "brine." The brine will be processed by electrolysis to get the lithium and other products (hydrogen, fresh water, etc.)

Interesting two minutes of footage from one of the UA regiments committed to the Kursk salient. They are among the units encountering the poorly trained and totally inexperienced NKPA troops provided to Russia. Out of necessity, "suicide" drones have taken over much of the role normally provided by artillery.

A summary is here for those that don't like to peruse the document. Gaetz has been hinting going after Rubio's seat or run for the governor in 2026. Would be interesting to see if his Teflon coating will hold.

Regardless, it shows that Trump people did no vetting on him or just ignored everything due to his loyalty to Trump.

It also provides no small indicator of his enduring "popularity" among his peers. After all, this was released by a republican majority committee in the House.

Biden commuting more sentences. Sooner or later you must question a person's respect for humanity. Killing babies is noble but killing monsters is evil.

Who is still on federal death row after Biden commuted 37 of 40 inmates' sentences?

President Biden left in place the capital sentences of Robert Bowers, Dzhokar Tsarnaev and Dylann Roof.

"Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," Biden said in a statement.
"But guided by my conscience and my experience ... I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," he said. "In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

Or they did not find the source creditable, just as the DOJ did not.
