While many leaders of the GOP want you to believe that Ohioans don't care about gerrymandering, the numbers we're seeing tell a different story. So far in 2025, we've out-raised the GOP competition. I'm proud of these numbers, but even more proud of what they represent: our mission to #CareforOhio.

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution

What the actual hell was CBP looking for? This suggests a very specific pre-existing investigation that was done in coordination with the FBI to target him in particular.

When looking at this and the way we're treating immigrants, we're literally committing the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Alligator Alcatraz authorities are stonewalling requests from the Archdiocese of Miami to provide Masses to detainees, most of whom are Catholic.

How Long Will The Wicked Prosper? A Call For Reflection How long will the present system continue? How long can it continue until its injustices bring everything down?

Every day, I see more evil being done by the Trump administration, evil which is ignored or promoted by many Christians and I wonder how long this can go on. www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Trump #News

Turns Out, Meta's AI Data Centers Use Up a Lot of Water In Addition to Electricity Something that hasn't gotten enough attention is whether the entire AI enterprise is even sustainable, given how the computing power currently required, scaled upwards, uses incredible amounts of ener...

Every time you use AI, a lot of water gets used.

"Meta's Georgia facility, per the Times, "guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day," or about 10 percent of the total water used in the small community surrounding it."

Do not stay at a Hyatt hotel. They're running fake "smoking detectors" specifically as a revenue-generating scheme and arbitrarily fining guests $500.

This was the order of events:

1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe.

2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that.

3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump.

4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

Lysenkoism: A Soviet-era pseudoscience that rejected genetics, suppressed dissenting scientists, and led to crop failure and famine. It’s a warning from history about what happens when ideology controls science.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"
