The algo is onto something today

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.

Republicans set their health care grenade to go off after the election. Don’t be fooled.

Again, let this serve as a lesson to Dems across the country --you either fight back (as street fighters) or we vote you out. No more "go along to get along." No more Chuck Shumer-ism. Progressive El-Sayed wins Michigan primary in jolt to Democrats - www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...

They can never just admit their true beliefs because they know they are wrong and abhorrent to the vast majority of people.

DURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine

Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

No more distractions! Looks like more Trump-Epstein Files maxxing will be required...

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

A new Senate investigation says JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America processed massive sums tied to Jeffrey Epstein despite glaring red flags. Powerful institutions helped keep his operation running and every one of them must be held accountable. Follow the money, release everything.

It appears Bari Weiss is cooking the news at CBS for the president.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

70% of Americans don't want energy-guzzling AI data centers being built in their communities, including 63% of Republicans. Trump's response? "You can't fight it, you have to go with it." Reminder that Trump owns millions of dollars worth of stock in Big Tech corporations pushing data centers.

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

In case you’re wondering who’s really “begging for a deal”

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says

Democrat Ron Wyden cited nonpublic documents held by the US Treasury in a report that says banks delayed reporting suspicious financial transactions and calls for tougher anti-money-laundering rules, ...

The entire point of demanding Pirro frame people for vandalism was to distract from the disastrous outcome of Trump's own corruption. And now Trump's pique with Pirro for not sustaining the frame job is distracting from the disastrous outcome of Trump's corruption. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

You can be arrested, tortured, and made to confess to a crime that never happened.

Elon Musk planning to throw financial support behind Susan Collins’ U.S. Senate bid

I lost my job, my kids have measles, my electric bill has doubled, and I have explosive diarrhea from a parasite the CDC no longer monitors. But at least now Black kids won't be getting free breakfasts from Head Start anymore.

“…an incompetent personal advisor…” The Tsar cannot be wrong. He can only be wronged.

This is what happens when the government is run by a felon reality TV personality, Fox News hosts and right-wing podcasters.
