Maine is poised to be the first state to ban new data centers. These 11 other states tried and failed. www.businessinsider.com/maine-pause-...

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

Five health insurance executives appeared before congressional committees and faced a barrage of angry questions from Republicans and Democrats, who found bipartisan agreement that their constituents were being crushed by rising health care costs.

Horrible! The traitors and thieves who seized and usurped our government, and hacked their way into seats, need to get capital punishment for their treason and espionage.

🔥 TX STATE REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social: “The only minority destroying America are the billionaires… we are focused on the wrong 1%.”

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641. As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570. With @texastribune.org

Repost from last year about Sinclair News, owner of local news stations. STILL think Dems can "flood the media" with magic messaging? "Each of these crass political smears masquerading as journalism was syndicated to at least 86 local news websites owned by Sinclair." popular.info/p/sinclair-f...

So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

This episode of the Amicus podcast is one of the clearest explanations of SCOTUS corruption I've ever heard. Kudos to @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @whitehouse.senate.gov who for some reason don't seem to have yet skeeted about it. Come on! Repost! Get the word out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1v2...

Trump’s post is completely unhinged, but the ratio is the real story. His base isn’t buying it. They’re clinging to the Epstein list and his QAnon echo chamber hyped for years. They wanted to take down the Clintons. He built this monster. Now it’s backfiring on him.

Whatever it takes for F47 to stay out of prison This is another person involved with Epstein. This is a wild story. ‼️ French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a longtime associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead in his prison cell, a spokesperson for the Paris prosecutor

Right-wing conspiracies drove red states to leave ERIC, a data compact that helps states maintain voter rolls, and vow to create their own voter data systems. Two years later, those efforts have instead put voters at risk of disenfranchisement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Great @willoremus.com report on how the AI moratorium came unwound. Amazing how close it came with virtually no public debate. This explains more of what was going on behind closed doors.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs. - Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs). - and on and on. The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it. It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.

EviCore markets itself to insurers by promising a 3-to-1 return on investment — that is, for every $1 spent on EviCore, the insurer would pay out $3 less on medical care and other costs. (Published Oct. 2024)

Wired continues to rise to the moment.

The claim that Emil Bove told DOJ lawyers they might have to say "fuck you" to court orders rightfully shocked people. The full scope of lawyer Erez Reuveni's claims, however, paints an even more damning picture. At Law Dork, here are 11 key allegations from the whistleblower disclosure —>

This bill would criminalize abortion (+other health care such as IVF & some contraception) brazenly violates the Reproductive Freedom Amendment. Just as we have gone to court to strike down other unconstitutional barriers, were it to pass, we will sue. www.wkyc.com/article...

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

NEW: Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family will pay $7.4 billion for fueling the deadly opioid epidemic. This is the nation’s largest opioid settlement to date. We will not rest until every corporation that unleashed the opioid crisis in our communities is brought to justice.

"Business Insider identified 1,240 data centers in America already built or approved for construction at the end of last year — the most comprehensive tally to date. That's nearly four times the number in 2010."

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Leaders of the American Patriots Three Percent (AP3) militia have forged alliances with law enforcement around the US. Internal files reveal their strategies for building these ties and where they’ve claimed success. (Published Aug. 2024)

my understanding is answers to senate questionnaires are not considered "under oath" but still Martin lied by omitting appearances on Russian state-propaganda telly between 2016-2024 Eddie was booked not 25 or 50 times but **150+ times**

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

"In 2017, Lockwood and two colleagues published a groundbreaking study showing many of those former classmates now cost society money...A corporate lawyer, for instance, does $30,000 of damage to society each year, a commercial banker more than $100,000."

Man @craigsilverman.bsky.social is really the best in this business and I’m excited to see what he does here! indicator.media

Absolutely riveting story by @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social: When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

When I was in my 20s, an economist asked if I was disappointed that the most important econ story of my life had already happened so early in my career. Wouldn't everything from here on out seem boring? He was talking about the 2008 financial crisis. If only things had been more boring since then

This is an administration full of TV stars and the rich, and they are running our country into the ground. Can you guess who will suffer the most? Those facing poverty and the disabled community. This is not a game.

The cardholders reported they never received their cards in the mail, according to officials.

RBC PAC’s $20 million last-minute spending spree boosting Trump on abortion was one of the most brazen stunt campaigns in recent memory, designed to evade basic transparency rules. Turns out it was 100% funded by Elon Musk. @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
