“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

Y’all should really read this entire piece— it’s even wilder than what’s been said here. This should be massive international news

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Texas State Rep. James Talarico just announced his campaign for U.S. Senate raised more than $27 million in the first quarter of 2026 — the largest amount ever raised by a U.S. Senate candidate in the first quarter of an election year.

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.

NEW: Raskin, w/ 50 House Dem co-sponsors, formally introduces a bill which would create a commission to assess Trump's fitness for office under the 25th Amendment. Bill text here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Story TK

Atlanta is the best

To be clear: any outlet that reports "Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz" without reporting "because they explicitly said the ceasefire must include Lebanon and Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon" is an outlet you cannot trust.

What if the United States had a Congress?

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

For those of you who want to watch the deliciously brutal (and mischievous) ad by Lindsey Graham's opponent, Dr. Annie Andrews, but don't wish to venture into Elon's bad place, here is the BlueSky link: bsky.app/profile/dran...

Mayor Mamdani with a master class on how government's can cut waste in government while keeping voters in the loop. DOGE pretended to do this and failed miserably.

it's not even about the ridiculous things they keep saying, and it would really be great if any journalist would ever remind them of this, because the list of things they say you need an ID to do are not rights guaranteed to you by the U.S. Constitution, while voting is.

sand in every MFing gear

And yet we're supposed to believe they were an imminent threat to us?

"This means Trump and Republicans will be unable to fix the November midterms harder than they are already trying to fix them via gerrymandering, ICE intimidation, and other kinds of election f*ckery. They’ll have to face their deep unpopularity head on." Hell yes from @lebassett.bsky.social!

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

Oh. “We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

“The attack on Iran is clearly illegal under U.S. law.” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️ Two conspicuous absences: 1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization. 2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

We really do need to rebuild the capacity to meet strangers in public places, and stuff like this ruins it for everyone.

Republican Ogles must have been looking at Lindsey Graham’s laptop. I would like to know there are many pedophiles and sex traffickers surrounding Trump, the GOP and Evangelical MAGA church

The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
