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.

Kansas understood the assignment (again) but I have no doubt the KS GOP will attempt another end-run. Just give it up already! Kansans overwhelmingly support women's repro rights and public education. Full stop.

Some fun & unfun stats about Kansas' primary election last night, specifically about the judges question: 61.3% voted NO (thank you!). About 617,000 people voted out. This is out of 2.1M eligible voters. This is less than 30%. We have a lot of work to do.

I was reading that the best way to prevent cyclosporiasis is to make sure food is heated to 158° & I just had to laugh because who in tf cooks their lettuce before eating it?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

We're going on a road trip across Kansas soon (mostly central & western part of the state since we live in the eastern), & I want some fun (read: weird!! & off the beaten path) places to take my little guy. Since I know I follow a lot of Kansans, I would love your recommendations! 💙

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

As predicted, Susan Collins comes out against Blanche. Don’t make too much of it. The R leadership okayed it b/c they have a vote to lose and b/c Collins in a tight race in Maine, in which Ds have won last several presidential elections. But they can’t lose another. All eyes on Cassidy and Murkowski

Straight up lying is not a difference of political opinion. I can't see an upside to any person identifying as Republican these days. It's not new, we just always brushed it aside because ignoring is easier than dealing with the reality that around a third of registered voters are so hate-filled.

Breaking: ICE is funneling massive DNA data into the FBI’s database, targeting immigrants, children, & even peaceful protesters. Expanding government reach to track families & build a nationwide surveillance system is terrifying. We must fight for privacy & justice! newrepublic.com/post/213887/...

ICE Is Using Immigration Arrests to Build a Massive DNA Database

A new report accused the agency of “abusing” its power for policing.
