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.

Truth 💥

The Manitoba government says it has put a dent in the backlog of patients waiting for an endoscopy, a procedure used to diagnose intestinal diseases.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

BLUMENTHAL: Judge Cronan, you're already on the district court. Who won the 2020 election? CRONAN: Joseph Biden received the majority of electoral votes B: You have nothing to lose. You have a lifetime appointment, and yet you're unwilling to state the simple fact that Biden won the 2020 election

PM Mark Carney takes a tiny jab at the madman in the WH 🤭🤣

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

The Senate has confirmed nearly 60 Trump-nominated election deniers to the judiciary. The attorneys who prosecuted the Jan. 6, 2021 rioters want them to stop. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.

Last night's political earthquake in Michigan should make one thing very clear: it's time for Democrats to grow a spine and stop bending the knee to corporate donors.

By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine

Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports

Organize and Advocate to Abolish Detention

Across the country, people are uniting to protect immigrant family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. ICE’s detention centers are everywhere, which makes federal policy a local issue in communities nationwide. Detention Watch Network advances federal advocacy to end immigration detention and supports local member and state-wide campaigns through information sharing, strategy development, public education and communications.

We know now what the protest in DC by the Women’s March entailed. They stood silently holding sheets printed with photos and info detailing the people who died in the “care” of or were murdered by ICE since 2025. They arrested them all. 8/5/26 #Blues #GTS #UniteTheBlue

As an Ohioan, I don't need max miller to step down. The average voter has to see, accept, & internalize that miller is the republican party. Republicans were fine with trump. They were fine with clarence & kavenaugh on the court, hastert & jordan in the locker room, and so on. Make them own it.

The federal government says it is investing $2.7 billion to help build thousands of new rental homes in Toronto. #Canada 5,600 homes, nearly 2,000 of which will be affordable or deeply affordable. Of the 18 projects, nine will be built on city-owned lands. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/loca...

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

Once again, GOP sides with Trump over Epstein survivors. Blanche was just as responsible, if not more, than Bondi for the harm done to these woman by the botched rollout of the files. I really don't wanna hear GOP/MAGA talk about protecting women and girls from trans folks. @deadder.bsky.social
