US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

β€œIt’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

This is not a fake narrative being peddled by leftists in the media. It is exactly what Anthropic is saying. They aren’t prepared to give up on these 2 conditions and are willing to put their $200 million contract at risk over it. All Hegseth can say is, β€˜Trust me, bro.’

Cutting clean energy won’t solve Rhode Island’s high power costs - The Boston Globe To bring down high power prices, we need to accelerate efforts to reduce our dependence on natural gas. Wind and solar offer a path to do just that, writes one energy policy analyst.

My latest on how @govdanmckee.bsky.social's plan to gut #RhodeIsland 's #renewableenergy programs won't deliver the lower rates that he (& our utility) claim it will.

Tl;dr: high wholesale power prices are mostly driven by gas prices. Don't ax the solution. /1

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections."

What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least manyβ€”15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

"Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

This is heartbreaking. It’s a moral failure to imprison children and then have the agency quote be about how the kids are being fed. 🀬 This article is additional evidence that we need to abolish DHS.
Also, the Epstein class is running this administration, they need to stay far away from kids.

Analysis reveals who is really propping up Trump’s job growth A Monday analysis from MS NOW revealed the employment trend that is helping to prop up Donald Trump's already meager job growth numbers, and it has more to do with an aging population than his undelivered manufacturing boom. As of the most recent jobs report from last week, the U.S. has added around 359,000 jobs since Trump returned to the White House a little over a year ago. As MS NOW data journalist Philip Bump noted on Monday, while positive, that is still a far cry from the numbers during Joe Biden's presidency, which matched that figure every month. Trump and his allies have attempted to spin this stalling growth by noting that around 600,000 private sector jobs have been created, and that the overall number is being dragged down by the massive cuts his administration made to government employees. Despite Trump's pledge to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., Bump's findings show that almost all the new jobs under his watch came from the "service" industry. Digging deeper, he found that "anomalous growth" in one specific sector of the service industry, healthcare, driven by a growing portion of the population: "old people." "That’s a theme to the growth seen in 2025. The year saw increases in home health care aides, ambulatory health care services, hospitals and nursing/residential care facilities β€” all jobs related to taking care of people’s health," Bump explained. "This is a continuation of a pattern. Since 2000, the number of people working in individual and family services is up 300 percent. The number working in retirement and assisted living facilities has more than doubled." He continued: "So what’s going on? Well, one central factor here is that Americans keep getting older. The baby boom extended from 1946 to 1964. In 2011, the oldest boomers began hitting age 65. The density of elderly people in the population began to skyrocket, pushing demand for health care aides and (lagging a bit) nursing home and retirement care." The surge in population density caused by the baby boom has caused similar surges in demand for specific goods and services throughout the decades, Bump noted. When the generation was at its youngest, diaper demand exploded. A few years later, demand for grade school teachers also exploded. As the healthcare needs of the increasingly elderly baby boomers increase, Bump predicted that they will continue to drive demand for healthcare workers to service them. However, he also noted that this is not a trend that can continue forever, implying that demand will begin to wane as the generation passes away, with the younger generations not replacing the elderly population at the same rate. "Put another way, senior care β€” meaning health care and housing, as the 2025 numbers show β€” will continue to be a driver of job growth," Bump concluded. "Until, as with diapers and school teachers previously, they aren’t."

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
