San Antonio data centers guzzled 463 million gallons of water as area faced drought The heavy usage, equivalent to tens of thousands of households, comes as residents are told to conserve water.

San Antonio data centers are guzzling millions of gallons of water daily while residents are limited to watering their lawns once per week due to drought.

Make it make sense.

For decades, the GOP has treated American democracy and the constitutional order the way early game testers treat video games—looking for exploits to circumvent the rules.

Part 2 is EVEN BETTER and I say with dead-ass seriousness:

The 20 Elections to Watch in August - Bolts Out of 40 special elections for congressional and legislative seats so far in 2025, only two have seen flips; both were Democratic gains. That’s to be expected: Nationwide, most districts... Read More

When I heard of Brown's capitulation, I thought of all the alums, including a friend, who have lost a part of themselves, of their inner strength & character. I'm sorry, Will.

However, what you learned there has shaped you wonderfully & now it's our turn to take up the mantle.

What the F are we doing, people????

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

Donald Trump, self-proclaimed "Father of IVF," promised to make IVF available to everyone, but surprise—he LIED.

Instead, he slashed health care for 17 MILLION Americans and forced premiums to go up.

Trump is making your health care more expensive.

Contributor: How California can cash in on federal incentives for green power before they disappear Our state's leaders need to think strategically and act immediately. Capitalizing on existing infrastructure will be key.

thanks @latimes.com for sharing my perspective on the opportunity for California to pull forward clean energy procurement and qualify for rapidly expiring federal tax credits. I hope other states can similarly act quickly to pull forward these savings. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... #energysky

@kairyssdal.bsky.social has been setting an example for broadcasters (public and private) and mainstream reporters in his strict "let's the cut the BS" insistence on truth.

All other broadcasters and (especially) headline writers: Follow his lead.

Republicans Might Regret Putting Emil Bove on the Bench Even conservative judges might delay retirement rather than give Donald Trump more chances to appoint transparently partisan replacements.

Q: Why did you cut snap and health care research?

Rep. Flood: We do not have unlimited money in the United States.

[Crowd booing]

Casar: "This idea of fining legislators -- and now I'm starting to hear about the governor or the speaker of the house trying to expel lawmakers from office -- is deeply unconstitutional and it is part of a worrying trend ... it's the kind of authoritarian thing that we think about in other nations"

Bless JB Pritzker for letting Texas Dems stay at his Hyatt Hotels for free.

This about covers it.
