The most corrupt president in history has immunity from prosecution AND immunity from IRS scrutiny. And zero incentive to follow the law. Tell me this system of government isn't screwed up.

Meta's five mile long data center, Hyperion data center campus, is under construction in Richland Parish, Louisiana. Projected to cost up to $27 billion and span roughly a mile wide, it is designed to be the world's largest AI factory.
I drove past three data centers being built today in just over an hour on the road. One is five miles long. This is not sustainable.
Another reason to recall Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill? We have to pay. Sanctions to be paid by taxpayers in Louisiana AG's Murrill's failed lawsuit against Caddo Parish Commission. La AG Murrill alleged Caddo violated open meetings laws while passing a pro-Bernie Resolution.
Louisiana, Call Senators Bill Cassidy (R-not returning) and John Kennedy (R-Wishy Washy) at 202-224-3121 - Ask to speak to them. Leave a voicemail requesting each to vote no on attaching the SAVE Act. Wed Jul 15
THIS IS REALLY, REALLY BAD!!!
In ruby red (Steve Scalise) St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, north of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain, a group of brave warriors are feeding their immigrant community who, through no fault of their own, are unable to leave home to purchase food. They have been doing this for months. Powerful.

Grateful for the warriors of Unión Migrante New Orleans who have been fighting every day protecting our immigrant population and holding this immigrant-hating regime to account in Louisiana. Do not obey in advance. Stand up. Fight back.
Immigration arrests surge in Louisiana, advocates and lawyers say Lawyers and activists told Verite News that more people are being detained and arrested by federal immigration authorities in recent weeks.

At the time, no other woman was editing a national “thought leader” magazine—the term of art in our trade—and bylines for women were scarce. For our 50th anniversary, former EIC Deirdre English reflects on her barrier-breaking years at Mother Jones.

These new proposed rules will create unnecessary barriers that prevent eligible voters from receiving and returning their mail-in and absentee ballots in time to be counted. Comment before July 2

DOGE murdered. The richest of the rich killing with no accountability and no repercussions, the poorest of the poor. Hold Musk to account. The facts and proof are in the thread to this post.
Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
The court not standing idly by ❤️
A federal database used by Mississippi for voter citizenship verification is unlawful and cannot be used in its current form due to changes President Donald Trump made, a federal judge ruled on Monday. www.mississippifreepress.org/states-cant-...
I did not realize that a large part of The Onion buying InfoWars was about getting the Sandy Hook families the money they were supposed to have gotten from the lawsuit against Jones, and honestly that's some top-tier human decency right there?
We've sold a LOT of rainbow InfoWars merch (with more to come!) over the last month, since we reached a deal to take over InfoWars with the estate's court appointed receiver. We're giving 100% of proceeds so far to the families via whatever mechanism the court allows.
Federal Tort Claims Act, over which DoJ has total discretion, provides workaround to Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund

Months after aggressive law enforcement response, anti-Trump group returns to Pearl River
Pearl River Police arrested three people at a January protest against Trump's ICE enforcement campaign, then called in outside agencies to monitor a subsequent action in February. The organizing group had decided to stop coming to the city, until they were spurred into action by a recall petition against Gov. Jeff Landry.
