At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Migrant Vendors Park Carts as Their American Dreams Slip Away Enforcement was already on the rise before Trump’s inauguration. Now street sellers are avoiding any risk of getting a criminal ticket that could make them ICE targets.

“Some vendors we work with are in their homes behind locked doors now, too scared to leave,” said Samy, the 34-year-old garage owner and second-generation New York City vendor.

Trump responds to Washington plane crash with racist, ableist diatribe The president used the tragedy, which killed 67, to deliver a bigoted and self-promoting tirade about DEI.

Hello, my name is Julia Métraux, a disability reporter at Mother Jones. Such behavior is nothing new for Trump. watching it on display once more, against the backdrop of enormous tragedy, it still proved downright harrowing You can read my full piece below.

Most Americans have no idea how their governments work and DJT is using that ignorance to his advantage.

Also the Federal government itself is a behemoth, which is why you elect people you trust to run it. Which we suck at thanks to corporate interests.

People can't afford to be ignorant anymore.

Can we sue him over this lie yet?

US renewable power producer NextEra Energy expanding gas-fired generation The world's largest renewable power company, NextEra Energy , is partnering with GE Vernova to develop natural gas-fired power generation projects across the United States that will mainly feed AI data centers and other large electricity users, NextEra said on Friday.

NextEra is justifying its moves into building new highly polluting fossil gas infrastructure based on data centre expansion projections --->>>

#USDA is still confirming #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds. And today, it reported 6 more from California. Brings the state's total to 726; per CA Dept of Food & Ag, 162 have cleared quarantine.
The cumulative national total to 943 in 16 states. www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-po...

It depends on how much they are lying about everything. Deepseek is good. It's open source. But they aren't transparent about the economics. At least from what I have read so far.

Would love everyone in the industry to please opine !

FYI, DeepSeek doesn't disclose anything about its energy or emissions requirements (for training or for inference) either. No one is disclosing anything: the absolute best we can do is make vague guesses based on proxy data.

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Liquefaction Capacity File, and trade press Note: Export capacity shown is project's baseload capacity. Online dates of LNG export projects under construction are estimates based on trade press. LNG=liquefied natural gas; FLNG=floating liquefied natural gas

In 2025, we expect increases in demand, which includes domestic natural gas consumption and exports, will exceed increases in supply, which includes domestic natural gas production and imports. Consumption and exports increase by almost 3%, or 3.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), in our forecast, outpacing the 1.4 Bcf/d growth in production and imports, leading to a 43% increase in the Henry Hub price. In 2026, we expect demand to continue to grow faster than supply, increasing prices by an additional 27%.

America's demand for fossil gas is set to increase - no, not for stuff like heating homes or the power grid - but almost entirely due to the fact that sending gas overseas is itself a process that consumes HUGE amounts of gas

2024: the hottest year on record It’s the hottest year we’ve ever lived through. It’s possibly the coolest we see from now on.

2024 was the hottest year on record. Ever.

In a few years you may remember it nostalgically as the coolest you've experienced since.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.

There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Just a follow up on the post about living with suicidal thoughts- this isn't to glorify/ romanticize suicide, but a reflection of 21 years living with this illness.
Stay alive out of spite. Don't let the ruling class win. The revolution needs you.

Battling suicidal thoughts since 12 years old. Over the years it's evolved from "just do it who cares how" to "jump off a building for one last thrill" to "Self immolation in protest of Genocide in Palestine and the Capitalist Oligarchy that feeds on it." Reasons to live a few and far between now.
