A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

Amnesty International just dropped a devastating bomb on the US government, demanding Congress fully ABOLISH ICE right now. A massive new report exposes horrific abuse inside immigration detention centers-claims of violent terror, illegal killings, and conditions bad enough to be called TORTURE.

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Oleshky: Eating garden weeds to survive in Russian-occupied city cut off from food and water

Interviews with more than 30 current and former employees reveal the agency is now tightly controlled by Mr. Kennedy and his associates, and its scientists are finding it increasingly difficult to do their jobs effectively. (Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a fear of retaliation.)

The changes have hindered the C.D.C.’s ability to respond to outbreaks as measles spreads at home and Ebola abroad, and to issue timely guidance on vaccinations as cooling temperatures kick off the respiratory season, according to current and former employees. State and local health departments, which rely on the C.D.C. for resources and technical advice, have been stymied by delays. Entire divisions have been shuttered, including teams that worked on smoking, sexual violence, child abuse and falls among older adults.

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

Guys, THIS IS WILD Trump’s 250-foot arch isn’t supposed to start construction until November, but geologists are already testing the soil. Why? Because apparently they need to make sure the tallest triumphal arch on earth won’t just tip over when it’s built. 👀

$1.8 billion for Trump’s vanity projects could cover a year of medical expenses for 88,000 veterans or 600 million school lunches. Trump’s Republican puppets keep finding money for his ego while telling families the country can’t afford basic care. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

The 1st Circuit ruled that migrants don’t have a fair shot to say they'd face torture before being shipped to a country that isn't theirs. Trump wants the Supreme Court to bless skipping due process. Stripping migrants' rights trains the same muscle for stripping yours. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?
