Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

“He saw a video of an Mexican man being shot by ICE on Facebook, it was his father” Lorenzo Saldana Araujo son. On discovering his father had been killed by ICE in Houston Texas today. Unnecessary and Horrific family tragedy from the Trump administration! #USDemocracy

Here's a vetted legal defense fund for the MN citizens who've been indicted by the DOJ for "terrorist" activities re: ICE protests in January. These citizens have to pay for their own legal defense and need our help: chuffed.org/project/1865...

I just learned that the term "carbon footprint" was developed by BP to offload responsibility for climate change onto individuals. Something like that's happening in higher ed with AI. Institutions capitulate or dodge; students are submitting; & they believe it's their individual failing. 7/

Filing in Florida closed today. Trump-friendly Democratic Congressman Darren Soto did not get a primary challenger. He is the 18th Democrat who has voted yea for more than 20% of the fascist bills this session that has not received a primary challenger. Trumpist Dems are now 29-0 in the primaries.

A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.

you have almost nothing to gain from spending money on self-help or body optimization books and courses. most supplements and health topics are bogus. but universal healthcare would meaningfully extend your probable lifespan.

I think the biggest problem with Democrats is that when they get on TV or appear in any forum that gives them a big chance to speak directly to voters, they talk about the problem with Democrats and not the problem with Republicans.

Texas nights should belong to Texans, not Big Tech. Data centers bring permanent daylight, drain water, and drive up power bills. People deserve dark skies, clean water, and land that stays in local hands.

Brad and everyone like him are idiots and the sooner we treat them like idiots and not innocent hardworking decent people who were just confused the sooner we can get this country back on track.

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

Data centers do not *need* Texas water. They have the technology not to use our water (they can use a plant-based oil). They refuse to pay for it. Let's force them to stop using our water and other resources. Sign if you agree >> www.claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_cent... #AI #DataCenter #Texas

Bill McKibben on the solar energy boom: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz."

ICE flights. Monday, April 27, 2026.

From Corpus Christi to Wheeler, we’re running out of clean water. Wall Street, Tech Barons, & the Greedy Few are coming for our water. As Ag Comm, I will fight to protect our water and to keep TX water for Texans. Sign if you agree >> www.claytontuckertx.com/water #Texas #ai #datacenters #water

Oh look: the NYT can actually use the word “unelected” in a headline (as in our unelected Supreme Court)

When I asked Secretary Kennedy why he would cede our biomedical leadership—and jobs—to China, his "thoughtful answer" was that "NIH is funding a lot of crazy stuff." [2/2]

Because what is happening here is not simply a war about territory. It is a war about values. About sovereignty. About whether the principles that underpin our shared democracy shall hold meaning.

"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..." This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President. It can be amended like any other statute

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Thank you for being a kind person ❤️🇺🇸

"This is an important thing to think about."

These data centers shouldn't be in anyone's backyard. They take our water, pollute the air, their noise causes real harm, depress property values, etc. Texas needs to be for those who live here, not for the Tech Barons who plunder here. Sign if you agree >> www.claytontuckertx.com/stop_ai_cent...

Corpus Christi may start running out of water this fall. Big Tech still wants to build data centers in their area. These Tech Barons are out of their minds.

Today is a great day to share the new party line: #DoubleTheFederalJudiciary. All we need is simple majorities in both houses of Congress to change the number of district court, appellate, and SCOTUS judges. Not 60 votes to impeach, not 3/4 to change Constitution; simple majorities. That's it.

“Today, you’re installing VPN — tomorrow, you’ll be surrendering to NATO.” That’s what russian propaganda is offering nowadays. Fabulous, considering a VPN is what every russian bot, propagandist and politician uses to deliver their messages here.

the idea that taxing billionaires will give us a bright new socialist future is nonsense, the reason to have a tax code that treats them with maximal hostility is because their wealth is a threat to democracy and stability

The only Catholics I want to hear from are Stephen Colbert and Pope Leo

Texas will lose $3.2 billion in tax breaks to data centers. Big Tech takes the gold, we get the bill. Instead of giving handouts to megacorps that take our land & water, we should invest in restoring local family farms.

The DOJ plans to settle with Colony Ridge over predatory loan practices. No money will be used to compensate the alleged victims, most of whom are Hispanic. But $20 million will go towards policing and immigration enforcement. Join our AMA on the settlement today at 2 p.m. in r/Houston.

We are an immoral, depraved society!!!

BREAKING: Athens, TX tabled a planned data center. While we won the night, our work continues. Do you know of a city/county commission/others talking about data centers? Email us >> [email protected] #ai #datacenters

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Texas is losing $3.2 BILLION in tax revenue over the next two years to the tax incentives it's handing out to data centers, and this is probably an underestimate. Meanwhile, the state is struggling to fund things like education and disaster response.

I bring terrible news from Flavortown

He's not well. He's never been well. He's never been more unwell. He will become yet even more unwell. It's Congress's job to remove him, since the Cabinet won't. And it's our job to send people to Congress who will be laser-focused on doing just that. 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com
