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.

It is crystal clear from Blanche's record that he will continue to put the president's personal interests above the interests of the American people. WATCH Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov urge his colleagues to vote against Todd Blanche’s nomination.

Reminder: this is who the Senate GOP is trying to confirm.

Access to mifepristone is under attack by Senate Republicans and the Trump administration. Yesterday, Trump’s nominee for Attorney General made clear he would use the office to further restrict access to reproductive care.

Blanche effectively said that if a U.S. attorney is given an order by Trump, as D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro was, they must fall in line regardless of the evidence. trib.al/F0YxnqO

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike.   When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.

Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business

Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump launched his war against Iran. Celebrating its reopening as an "achievement" of Trump diplomacy is illogical. Please stop accepting this White House framing.

A watchdog reports FEMA is unprepared for future emergencies after the Trump administration pushed out over 6,400 employees from the disaster response agency.

This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

Politics feels corrupt because it is. Billionaire mega-donors aren’t just buying yachts and jets — they’re buying power, and they’re using that power to rig our political system. jamestalarico.com/issue/corrup...

Look at Trump's serial failures, his obvious decline, the disastrous poll numbers for the GOP, the abysmal quality of their candidates, their complete absence of accomplishments, their betrayal of their base, the absence of post-Trump leaders emerging...and tell me the Dems are the ones w/problems.

The decisive failure of GOP referenda in Kansas Amendment 1 and Missouri Amendment 4 yesterday is yet another reminder of something I've been saying for a while: Voters, even Republican voters, now regularly despise and repudiate GOP attempts to use them to destroy democracy.

Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.

My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

this is the kind of obstreperousness, don't tell me what to do-ness, i got rightsness that is the sheet anchor of American liberties.

With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.

🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters defeated a GOP bid to limit their ability to amend the state constitution. The measure was the GOP's attempt to diminish the power of voters who’ve used citizen initiatives to expand Medicaid and protect abortion access.

Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure,…

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.
