Economy, convenience, and a certain degree of magnificence.
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.
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
Big Oil hauled in a record $677 billion in profit over the last five years. We gave them billions in tax breaks. So why are gas prices still sky high? ✅They spent $454 billion on stock buybacks, dividends, and executive pay. Trickle down is a SCAM.
A trifecta of arrests would be a hallelujah moment for so many😇
A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.
Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...
Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.
They're really worried about that senate seat.

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.
The asshole that owns the Dodgers also owns the Lakers. Oh, and he’s also under federal investigation for a 16 billion dollar fraud scheme. Will that ring be enough for a pardon?
Sending a former defense lawyer to pressure a witness is Obstruction of Justice Conspiring with Congress to bury investigations into your conduct is Criminal Conspiracy Coordinated Cabinet‑level interference to bury crimes is Racketeering Doing any of it, quid pro quo, is Bribery
The difference between inflation under Biden and inflation under Trump is under Biden we were lower than the rest of the world, under Trump we’re higher In case facts still matter
What kind of reporting is this? The police crossed the line in the treatment of this woman, but they make it seem like she is a criminal to justify their actions which led to her arrest and barely mention the prosecutor is NOT pursuing charges because they will lose. www.azfamily.com/2026/07/22/t...

"The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room."
Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.
Oh how the cultists used to cheer at his campaign rallies when he said this.
"It is not possible to have integrity and be loyal to Trump. The two are in direct conflict," writes @rbreich.bsky.social.
The trouble with Trump’s latest nominees lies in one word: integrity | Robert Reich

Notoriously awful Leona Helmsley once said about Donald Trump, another horrible New Yorker in real estate: “I wouldn’t trust him if his tongue was notarized.” That is quite a character reference from the Queen of Mean, a fellow-tax-dodger.
NYT reports the Pentagon did not disclose multiple Iranian strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan last week that reportedly injured dozens of American service members and damaged helicopters. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, granting a request from a coalition of 12 states led by California. The court will consider a longer injunction on Aug. 3.
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
All of Elon Musk’s businesses would be bankrupt and shuttered without government handouts. Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” on the other hand, is a phenomenal success. Cry more, you obnoxious white supremacist dork. (And, PLEASE, like you ever read Homer . . .)
