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.

Laura Ingraham invited disillusioned Democrats who don't align with the DSA platform to support the GOP. She thinks they should join a party that rubber stamps anything and everything their glorious leaders asks of them - including covering up for a deceased sex trafficker.

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.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.

UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani

Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

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.

He was so proud, & bragging about it..Texas GOP has a history of throwing out ballots, by the millions…They have gerrymandered to their hearts’ content. They are working towards closing down half the voting locations in a battleground county….All before Trump’s Fixer AG joins with his shenanigans.

In Texas, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare cleared the meeting room, silencing public opposition to the GOP plan to eliminate half of the battleground county’s Election Day voting locations before the midterms.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”

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.

Fifty years from now, historians will conclude that Trump's decision to go to war in Iran was likely driven principally by a desire for personal self-enrichment. The Trump and Kushner families likely executed billions in oil futures contracts and enhanced their wealth by untold sums by manipulating

Donald Trump trapped between escalation and an Iran deal on Tehran’s terms

US president faces few good options to exit a war he once said would end swiftly with the Islamic republic’s surrender
