A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

The infamous Florida immigrant detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” can remain open, an appeals court ruled Tuesday, overturning a lower judge’s decision to close the facility because it violated federal environmental laws.
EXCLUSIVE: In the Trump administration’s latest bid to assert control over elections, federal officials are keeping qualified experts off a key federal committee that helps create standards for voting equipment used in U.S. elections.

Americans deserve an FBI director who doesn't compromise our national security.
I'm joining @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to investigate concerning allegations about alcohol abuse by FBI Director Kash Patel, which may be interfering with his ability to do his job - protecting the American people.
Could be a small window of opportunity. GRAB IT!!!
At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody this year—outpacing every other past Administration.
ICE has a shameful & egregious record of violating people's rights, traumatizing children, & killing our neighbors.
They believe they are the only authentic Americans. Everyone else is visiting. So when anyone else tries to limit their power, they react as if a foreign entity were stealing their sovereignty.
It's stupid and evil and often illegal -- and far FAR too many liberals choose to play along with it.

Many boomer Jews feel the same!!!
More than 70 vessels and over 1,000 participants from all over the world have joined a second Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza in order to challenge Israel’s ongoing maritime blockade of aid.
NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET the January 6 insurrection and that the perpetrators of this violence have been pardoned by the same Regime that instigated it. (And those same perpetrators have been hired by DHS.)
This year, many of the judges who have taken part in those decisions will be on the ballot. One of the justices who struck down Wyoming’s ban is up for reelection this year; so are justices who sided with proponents of abortion rights in Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico. Justices who upheld restrictions on abortion and reproductive rights are up in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas.
in ELEVEN states this year, justices who took part in upholding or striking down abortion bans are up for reelection.

Donald Trump appears to have missed—or is delaying—his 2026 physical, with no schedule or results released.
At the same time, his behavior is raising concerns—even among some right-wing outlets.
The silence is deafening.
The United States, a place where the rich can get away with countless things. After all when you have enough money what’s a fine other than just another monthly fee. We need more leaders willing to take action, on Mayday we have a chance to do this collectively! No work! No school! No shopping!
QUICK! While the Hungarian guy is out, but before the Bulgarian guy comes in!
Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

NEW REPUBLIC: “Where Did Millions in Funding Go?”
$63 MILLION companies paid in *settlements* to Trump appears to have vanished (into his pocket) and @SenWarren wants answers.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.
Interesting that the GOP redistricting efforts are driven by the legislatures AGAINST the will of the voters (TX, MO) while the Dem redistricting efforts are state-wide referendums that reflect the WILL of the voters.
This is breaking the fundamental social compact between writer and editor it's like the Red Wedding for people who write for a living
... it's breaking the fundamental contract between paper and reader, too.
If the byline says "John Smith" and it's written by an AI bot in the style of John Smith, your paper has f'ing lied to me before I've read the first word of the story, and I don't see why I should trust anything past that
