US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: β€˜I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

Today I’m proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.

SETH MEYERS, 6 MONTHS AGO:
'We're just one Epstein story away from Trump announcing that UFOs are real'
TRUMP, TODAY: 'I will be directing the Secretary of War to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life'

SETH MEYERS, 6 MONTHS AGO: 'We're just one Epstein story away from Trump announcing that UFOs are real' TRUMP, TODAY: 'I will be directing the Secretary of War to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life'

It seems we’ve reached the Seth Meyers stage of the #EpsteinFiles saga.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics β€” especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.

This is a mess of Trump's own making β€” and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

Kurt Cobain, Lead Belly and "Grey Goose" The greatest song that Cobain never sang

It's Kurt Cobain's birthday today β€” he would have been 59. Here's something I wrote about his deep connection with Lead Belly, and why I think of Kurt as a high-flying goose.

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

$4 BILLION for Trump.

Higher health care, electricity, grocery, and rent bills for you.
