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?
For someone who said…
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
Why is he still talking about the 2020 election?!
Asking for a friend
So jealous of you Illinois folks today. Outlawing book bans is a hell of a step forward.
Mount Rainier rises above the far shoreline beyond calm water, with soft pink evening alpenglow lighting the snow-covered upper slopes. Layers of lavender and gray clouds stretch across the sky, while dark trees and scattered waterfront homes form a deep blue band below the mountain. The smooth water in the foreground reflects the cool tones of the scene with a faint hint of pink. The photo feels calm, quiet, and gently luminous.
While I was at the Lake Washington this week, Mount Rainier caught my eye in this beautiful evening light. The pastel sky and quiet reflection gave the whole scene a peaceful feel.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Berkeley traffic diverter at Grant St/Berkeley Way
To everyone saying, "How oh how do we stop Google Maps cut-through traffic??"
...I present to you the solution, which we've had for 50 years in Berkeley.
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.
It is definitely not just you
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.
In 2020 I found romance which got me through COVID lockdown & still is my favorite genre. Fav authors: Kristen Ashley especially the Colorado & the Chaos series. Christine Feehan series, Shadow Reapers, Torpedo Ink & Sea Haven Sisters of the Heart.
There is heat, flawed characters & happy endings.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Screenshot of a tweet by Acyn (@Acyn) quoting Senator Jon Ossoff saying that with subpoena power, Pete Hegseth would have to testify under oath about reports that his stockbroker was buying defense stocks days before the Iran war, and that Jared Kushner would have to testify about his Middle East business dealings while conducting diplomacy. The embedded video shows Rachel Maddow interviewing Ossoff on MSNBC, with a chyron reading "Sen. Ossoff on Trump Family Corruption: 'They're Crooks.'"
Re-elect Sen. Jon Ossoff, Georgia. And push out the Senate GOP majority, America. Think how things would change.
People like Pete Hegseth believe that China manufactures the flu as a weapon.
He then tells China, potentially our biggest military enemy, that he is ensuring that US troops *will* be made vulnerable to the flu.
When you're too stupid to reconcile your conspiracy theories.
GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
A cartoon baby wrapped in swaddling with the reason newborns need a shot of Vitamin K when born. It keeps them from hemorrhaging
RFK, Jr, won’t amplify that newborns need a vitamin K shot.
K doesn’t cross the placenta and breast milk doesn’t replace the vitamin quickly enough to protect.
Without it, babies are 80 times more likely to develop dangerous bleeding, especially in the brain.

CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis--
CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay
When a sitting U.S. president makes insulting remarks about Canada and threatens its sovereignty, I’ll criticize the United States and its administration if I bloody well please. What happens in that country has a big impact in the world, so no, I won’t “stay in my own lane.”
Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...
“Do you realize how ridiculous this is? Taxpayers will pay companies $166 BILLION in refunds because the orange man in the White House taxed them unconstitutionally. They don’t even have to drop their prices… Yet Trump says there's no💰for Medicaid/childcare.”

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.
Make sure to vote YES.
You can find your polling location at IWillVote.com/VA.
Trump pardons those who can pay him which leaves those who hurt them with literally nothing. I can’t believe MAGA thought a billionaire would be on their side. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Failure to answer this simple, direct question from Elizabeth Warren should disqualify Warsh from becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve
If he can't display independence from Trump on what is an undisputed issue, nobody should believe he will disagree with Trump when dealing with financial policy
The Southern Poverty Law Center announced its under Justice Dept investigation targeted for its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups. Interim CEO Fair said in a video that the Trump administration has “made no secret of who they want to protect and who they want to destroy.”
Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.
The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.
This isn’t a race to the bottom.
It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
The Fed relies on data and objective reality. Kevin Warsh’s refusal to acknowledge the 2020 election shows he’s more interested in politics than facts.
An independent Fed Chair needs a backbone, not a loyalty pledge. — Warsh is compromised. Hard pass.
Opportunist will say anything. Do not believe his contrition.
Gallego: "You said…Trump never demanded you cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony?"
Warsh: "That is."
Gallego: "Someone here is lying then, it's either you or President Trump."
