Trump labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns amid misconduct investigation Chavez-DeRemer, entangled in string of controversies, leaving for private sector, president’s spokesperson says

Good riddance! And I hope Oregonians will tell her to F off if she tries to revive her career here.

"She is among at least 10 girls and young women who have alleged they were groomed or assaulted at Zorro Ranch, Epstein’s gated compound, beginning in the late 1990s.

And yet authorities have never fully investigated what happened at the ranch."

All Texans deserve water.

Wall Street and Big Tech are coming for our water across Texas. They want to monopolize it for their own greed.

Democrats urged to link clean energy to affordability as Iran war hikes up prices Climate leaders say Democrats need to extol clean energy as a way to cut costs for Americans as war roils oil markets

"Democrats should get louder in championing clean energy’s affordability and resilience from global shocks, according to some of the party’s leading voices on the climate."

I agree.

Our policing of the world is also now just like corrupt cops engaged in theft and extra judiciary killings. Much like our actual police forces.

Remember when the U.S. was all about free market capitalism?

How did that work out?

BlackRock is an owner behind many of the massive power lines coming to Texas.

They are profiting from scarring our land.

I believe that Texans should come before Big Tech or Wall Street. Do you?

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

Wakey, wakey

This should be the official portrait in the Whitehouse!

A map of NYC with containerized bins marking neighborhoods. The neighborhoods are also listed: See if your community district will be fully containerized by the end of 2027: THE BRONX (DISTRICTS 2 AND 5) Hunts Point, Longwood, University Heights, Mount Hope, Morris Heights, Fordham Heights QUEENS (DISTRICT 2) Sunnyside, Hunters Point, Woodside STATEN ISLAND (DISTRICT 1) Stapleton, Randall Manor, Westerleigh, West Brighton, Clifton, Shore Acres MANHATTAN (DISTRICTS 2 AND 9) West Village, SoHo, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, Nolita, West Harlem BROOKLYN (DISTRICTS 2 AND 8) Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Weeksville, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn Navy Yard

If a bin marks your neighborhood on this map, your community district will have rat-proof trash containers and automated side-loading garbage trucks by the end of 2027!

Every neighborhood in New York City will be containerized by the end of 2031.

Tough day for rats, good day for New Yorkers.

6 Democrats compete to unseat Bentz in Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District has been in Republican hands since 1981. But a packed Democratic primary is filled with candidates who think they can change that.

Bentz, OR’s only Republican in the House, voted FOR the Big Beautiful Bill, which totally screwed OR getting their federal tax $$s returned to fund basic education and services. Send him home.

Screwing over both farmers and hungry people.

I just watched a Republican analyst give the perfect analogy for the Republican's dismal poll numbers. He said it's not like "let them eat cake" but more like "WATCH US EAT CAKE"🤨He hit the nail on the head.

In case you weren’t paying close attention, our Republican led Congress passed a law, signed by Trump in December 2025 (the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act), mandating the U.S. government initiate an automatic military draft registration for eligible men by December 2026…

"Many of the state's biggest names in Republican politics" are claiming that Sharia law will be imposed in Texas "if they lose the coming election. This is their strategy to win."

Rachel Gilmore pointing out that Mandelson was granted the very highest level of security access, even after security concerns were raised, pointing out that this must be a concern for the USA.
And here WE are, with Mandelson's clients Palantir embedded into our NHS and defence.

"Bertrand said: “Every government still running Palantir software in its intelligence, security, or public-service infrastructure needs to start ripping it out, now!”'

Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, released his manifesto

www.complex.com/life/a/berna...

Silicon Valley should abandon inclusivity, stop pretending that all cultures are equal, and that the world should be ruled by a techno-fascist elite that keeps society in a constant, perpetual state of war.

US draft update: Major tech company urges universal national service — Newsweek The company has won major Pentagon contracts, including work on Project Maven, an AI‑driven targeting and surveillance program.

In case you didn’t know, Alex Karp (CEO of #Palantir) is a massive POS.

This gutless coward is more than willing to have you and your kids die for his billions of $$$, but NEVER him or his.

Billionaires are a pox upon humanity.
