JUST IN: Trump is scrambling to stop the BBC from digging into the finances of his business empire after a judge ordered him to hand over records in his $10B defamation lawsuit against the network.

This is hilarious. Trump's team filed an emergency motion to stop the BBC from gaining access to his finances as part of his defamation suit. 😂 You would think his team would have warned him that this would happen if he attempted to sue.

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.

We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!

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.

This might get interesting, but Blanche is sure to say “no” re the ranch.

The state said it needs the records to investigate allegations of abuse at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.

He never stops making up lies.

Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.

The money quote is counterfeit. There's no record of El-Sayed saying that. Might be worth pointing this out, if you're amplifying the claim.

As someone here said recently, Collins is voting no to show Maine voters her upstanding ethics. Blanche will be approved without Collins’s vote, so her stand is a hollow one.

Let’s see if Susan Collins stands by her “concerns”, or if she folds like she always does.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
