The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
East coast ospreys are in decline. They are resilient and will survive. What happens to the many other *unseen* wildlife that depend on abundant menhaden is of greatest concern. We need more adaptive management of forage fish that accounts for localized depletion along the entire coast.
Richard Conniff@richardconniff.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm hoping osprey lovers and striped bass fishermen will band together on behalf of the menhaden, before Omega Protein turns this fish into the next passenger pigeon. richardconniff.substack.com/p/a-great-wi...

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here
Canadian plane dropping water on the Los Angeles forest fire. Neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you so much Canada, we are sorry our current leader is an idiot.
They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.
DHS breaks hours of silence on deadly ICE shooting in Maine, saying officer was ‘fearing for public safety’ | CNN
The man in the fatal shooting was identified by his neighbor as 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
He creates his own reality & expects us to believe it. The FELON's FANTASY: Meanwhile, back on EARTH 1:
For these osprey nestlings, they did not survive to fledge. Just one of 20+ failed nests in a colony that I have monitored for over 15 yrs. It is located within NJ’s only marine conservation zone. The new threat is the scarcity of their primary food source: Atlantic menhaden.
He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
Not giving up. I am going to keep taking about the Epstein files until they are fully released
Dozey Don went to the trouble of actually creating a chart to compare the length of the Reflecting Pool to the height of 3 various skyscrapers, for some reason known only to him. Towering over ALL of them is, of course, the #EPSTEIN_Files. #TheMidtermsCantComeSoonEnough
He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing
With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.
Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.
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...
Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.
