Duarte: This is about subsidizing child labor
Buttigieg: Then why didn’t you vote for the provision to move it to US soil

Electric exchange between @SecretaryPete and @RepScottPerry: "Given time is limited, I will confine myself to addressing the factually incorrect portions of what you have said, beginning with the assertion that EV sales are going down. They are in fact going up..."
The actual reason people are saying this is that sales of Teslas are going down. So that must mean that the sales of all EVs are going down, right?

Buttigieg: Even if all of that electricity came from fossil sources, it would still be cleaner because EVs are more efficient
Westerman: I think you need to go back and look at physics
Buttigieg: Ok, the physics are EVs are 90% more efficient…

Thank you @GovernorGordon & the State of Wyoming for working 24/7 to reopen this vital roadway.
Special thanks to @IdahoITD, @IdahoOEM & @IdahoCommerce for helping our neighboring state & keeping surrounding Idaho counties safe.

It's not only an emergency funding but also an emergency quick-and-dirty solution. The backfilling of the existing dam upside of the curve in the ravine will need to be revisited. The opinion of an engineer I have seen is very critical of the fact, that they did not make an investigation and determine why the dam slipped away, a job thak would have taken three months. Work on the road started near to immediatly. From the images I would expect the whole contraption to slide away with the next big rainfall. The dam does not seem to have any foundation into the bedrock, nor dewatering capabilities. I has not seen how the waters in the ravine can pass under the dam (though that passage may now have been closed over by the slip).
