How incompetent an engineer do you have to be that your rocket collides with the nearest object to Earth in the endless space of the universe?

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.

Colorado climate case is first up at the Supreme Court when the new term starts in October:
NEW: Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts is *pissed* at DOJ. She does not hold back, calling out DOJ's bad-faith litigating in the TPS cases, in addition to the overarching "shameful cruelty" of what the Trump administration is doing. From her latest order in the Somalia TPS case:
![Leaving aside the shameful cruelty inherent in eschewing a “wind down period” for
people under threat of deportation, many of whom are productive members of our communities
who have lived here for years, built a life here, worked here and raised their families here, the
Court is mindful of both the Supreme Court ruling and the recent First Circuit judgment in this
case. That said, the Court will also not abdicate its responsibility to make thoughtful, wellreasoned decisions after affording all parties a full and fair opportunity to be heard. It is
therefore ORDERED that Plaintiffs respond to Defendants’ motion to lift the stay, [ECF No.
97], by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026. The Court further amends the scheduling order on
supplemental briefing, [ECF No. 82]. Pursuant to the amended schedule, Defendants’ brief is
also due by 5:00 p.m. on August 5, 2026, and any reply brief by Plaintiffs will be due by
5:00 p.m. on August 6, 2026. The Court anticipates a decision on Defendants’ motion, which
will be accompanied by a decision on Plaintiffs’ emergency motion if the Court decides to lift
the administrative stay, early next week. Should Defendants return to the First Circuit prior to
that as they threaten in their motion, the Court will assume that it has lost jurisdiction, which will
delay its rulings.
SO ORDERED.

NEW: Eleventh Circuit, on an 8-5 vote, holds that Florida's anti-drag law is likely constitutional. A majority of the court, however, disagreed with Just Brasher that the court should rule on whether the statewide injunction entered in the case was an improper "universal injunction." Law Dork:

All we should ever be talking about is Leonard Leo, tbh. Talking about Leonard Leo will convince more people we need court reform. That man bought the fucking Supreme Court.
Tom Carter@thcarter123.bsky.social · 11h agoAstonishing. The only mention of “Loser Leonard Leo” in Kansas vote so far is Talking Points Memo. Do legacy media reporters not know or are they in on the con & think Leo involvement is irrelevant? WE are reporters. WE decide what readers need to know. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kansas-...
adding insult to injury for Kansas Republicans — on Monday, a day before voters rejected switching to direct elections for the justices, the Kansas Supreme Court rejected a litany of abortion restrictions, including a requirement that providers give false medical information to abortion patients

Does MAGA realize that Trump made us pay for his Tariffs TWICE? First, when they increased prices, and then again when our tax dollars were used to pay back the corporations when the Supreme ruled them illegal. Twice. We paid twice!
The most exhausting part about Trump isn't even the politics anymore. It's the constant need to make every headline, every crisis, and every conversation about himself. That's not confidence. That's insecurity with a microphone.
Trump's ongoing lies about Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan's administration of elections aren't going unnoticed.... by the voters of Detroit and Wayne County A boost for Abdul El-Sayed As I discussed with @hcrichardson.bsky.social today ====>
Trump's approval on cost of living just cratered to 23%, and the DOJ has lost 20 straight court battles over state voter rolls. The tide is turning fast. #BlueWaveIn90Days
The Trump Regime Wanted Every Colorado Voter’s File. Jena Griswold Refused.
They sued her. It went badly. Plus a $19 billion walkout and his worst poll yet.
