These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

The US has became the worst country on this planet.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

8 Senate Democrats just voted to advance one of Trump's judicial nominees. Which raises the question: WTF? Dick Durbin John Fetterman Ruben Gallego Maggie Hassan Martin Heinrich Jack Reed Jeanne Shaheen Sheldon Whitehouse

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This story—that the IRS is dropping all pending audits of Trump, and will not conduct any new audits of previously filed Trump taxes—was NOT part of his "settlement" with the IRS that he announced yesterday, which makes me wonder, what changed such that Trump demanded this new protection overnight

New deal bars IRS from tax audits of Trump, his family and businesses. It's an all-inclusive release in which the Internal Revenue Service is “FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED” from “prosecuting or pursuing” Trump, his businesses or his family. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

The political media in the U.S. continues to fail to meet the moment because they simply do not know how to deal with an administration that does bad things unapologetically. It's a scandal when a politician does something sneakily but if they confess to crimes in tweets "it's OK" is their failing.

UT State Sen. @nateforutah.bsky.social is a part of the fight against the 40,000-acre Stratos data center. He explains why a GOP super-majority in state legislatures makes it possible for backroom deals and cozy projects to get passed & why he's taking the fight to DC. youtu.be/FR7eL6734d4?...

#OTD in 1966 Dad delivered his speech "Don't Sleep Through the Revolution" in Hollywood, FL, and warned that the greatest danger is staying passive while injustice advances. That warning echoes clearly today.

The grifter in Chief

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

“The discrepancy between the honorable conduct expected of prosecutors and DOJ’s tactics in this case is unsettling... “DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case... “This reckless disregard for the duty of candor owed the court is appalling www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

The first honest thing he’s said

Oh.

Leftists believe in a society that works for everyone. We want our taxes to pay for practical things like healthcare, education, childcare, housing, & public transportation instead of Isr*el, ICE, & war. Propaganda has lead many to believe that’s not possible. It absolutely is.

He honestly thinks we're stupid.

I have so many questions.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

The Absolute Opposite of What They Should Be Doing….

🚨BREAKING: Internal emails between DOJ personnel suggest that, from the very outset of the effort to obtain sensitive voter data from states — much earlier than previously known — officials there planned to share it with the DHS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

The Epstein crisis is escalating. Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas. This isn't going away.

"the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power..." www.scientificamerican.com/article/ex-n...

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

As @staceyabrams.com demonstrated years ago...ground game matters. Dems better get on it. Grassroots work is shaping up but we need to accelerate.

I’d like to live in a country where a grandma doesn’t have to work as a Door Dash driver to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Between this and the video of Koch coming home to her pup....this Artemis II team was exactly what so may of us needed. This is the GenX that makes me proud.

US negotiation team before heading home....

How to do it America.

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

We're going to block the thing you're already blocking. So there.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

ICE loves hurting and killing women.

Trump's insider opened a $52M oil short position right before the US-Iran peace deal announcement, making $174 million in just 3 hours. It's pure graft! Corruption! It's all one giant insider stock futures trading scheme. They all need prison.
