Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs β€” not you.

Unlike other newspapers, The Onion has never once declined to print pictures of Donald Trump with girls in bikinis in Jeffrey Epstein’s kitchen.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.

Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told.

Trump playing phone tag with Mace.

So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

It all comes down to ONE race! A game 7 MOMENT! 6 wins on the season and 200+ laps lead this race vs 3 wins this season on a 24 race winless streak with 0 laps lead.... Tune in to find out how fucked this format is! No post race, gotta get to FOOTBALL!

By a vote of 51-47, the #Senate passed S.J.Res.88, terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

GOP Senators Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, & Paul voted in favor.

Senators Schmitt & Wicker did not vote.

Trump issues disaster declarations for Alaska and other states but denies Illinois and Maryland President Donald Trump has approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe

The vile Trump takeover of FEMA is complete- only states that voted for Trump get climate disaster relief.
Alaska, North Dakota, and Missouri approved. Vermont, Illinois and Maryland denied.
Trump explicitly cited how the states voted in announcing the approvals.

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences?

There's so much venom in this press release I'm surprised Sec. Rollins gets cleared by APHIS on international flights.

A RIF by any means possible it seems.
