El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

If i were a single issue voter, it would be a tie between federally protected abortion rights and stopping the scourge of data centers

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.

THE REFORMERS

TALARICO'S HOLD DATA CENTERS ACCOUNTABLE PLAN 

*END BIG TECH TAX GIVEAWAYS BY REPEALING THE STATE'S DATA CENTER SALES TAX EXEMPTION
*MAKE DATA CENTERS PAY FOR THEIR OWN INFRASTRUCTURE INSTEAD OF SHIFTING GRID COSTS TO TEXAS FAMILIES
*PROTECT THE ELECTRIC GRID WITH STRONGRT STANDARDS FOR LARGE ENERGY USERS 
*REQUIRE WATER CONSERVATION INCLUDING CLOSED LOOP WATER RECYCLING SYSTEMS
*GIVE LOCAL COMMUNITIES A VOTE ON WHETHER LARGE DATA CENTERS CAN BE BUILT
*INCREASE TRANSPARENCY BY PUBLICLY DISCLOSING TAX INCENTIVES AND SUBSIDIES

This is incredible content, it's the same "it's cheaper if you cook / I'm too tired from work to cook" discourse from BlueSky except literally no one posting actually cooks or has a real job, so nobody has any standing to argue either side and yet they're far nastier about it.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

One of our TPUSA college students gave me his take on affordability:

“A burrito shouldn’t cost $20.”

Yeah, a lot of this is a hangover from Covid and Biden-era inflation, but the lived experience is the same: It just feels like basic things cost too much.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Tapper: "There are now three women who have accused you of violent behavior…Are all three of these women who don't know each other lying?" Rep. Max Miller: "Yes…It's all hearsay." Tapper: "It's not hearsay if it is firsthand testimony from women."

Police Are Being Told Not to Mention ALPR Searches to Drivers

ALPR cameras log your plate, location, and timestamp daily, yet no law requires police to disclose this during a traffic stop.

Palestinians should be paid reparations for the money Israel had made on their land. Black Americans deserve reparations for the wealth made from the subjugation of their ancestors. Native Americans/indigenous folk deserve reparations for centuries of genocide and land theft.

The Spokane fire conspiracy theories are almost identical to the Altadena fire conspiracy theories. These people have no understand of how fire works, how science works, or why some things burn. I'm writing a book chapter about it, but the people who need to read it don't read books.

The internet is filled with really dumb people who right now think the fires in Spokane WA were fake because the houses burned but trees didn’t. What they’re forgetting is that dead, thin, dry wood burns. Wet, dense, living wood is harder to burn. Old living pine and house vs fire: house loses.

if we lived under socialism every adult in this country would get a $600 tariff refund check but instead they are giving your money to the very multibillion dollar corporations who pricegouged you
