"The drought has coincided with a years-long effort by city leaders to attract refineries and other industry to the Corpus Christi Bay, driving up water demand. Those industrial facilities now consume as much as 60% of the city’s water supply, according to local officials."

But...wasn't Texas first? 🤔🙄
Donald Trump may have Fetterman, but he doesn’t have Virginia.
🍿
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
III. ANALYSIS The Court finds that Dir. Patel has failed to allege a viable defamation claim against Figliuzzi. As such, the Court must dismiss Dir. Patel’s lawsuit. While Figliuzzi requests attorney’s fees and court costs under state anti-SLAPP statutes, the Court is unable to grant him such, and this request must be denied.
Oh no!!!
TX judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation case against Frank Filiuzzi, on which lawsuit Kash based much of yesterday's lawsuit against the Atlantic.

Epstein wasn’t a financial consultant
He trafficked in young girls and used compromising information to extort money
listen to this response from John Thune and note how *even MAGA Republicans* are no longer pretending Trump isn't personally directing harassment investigations against his political foes
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.
The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care.
Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.
- Lying to law enforcement and the public for political gain about a road rage incident
- Domestic abuse from Donald Trump's former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham
- Drug use and extortion by his ex-wife Emily Moreno Miller
Why aren't they demanding an investigation into him?
Republicans like Nancy Mace and Anna Paulina Luna claim to care about ethics...
Yet there's been precisely zero House Ethics Committee investigations into Republican House Rep. Max Miller.
Miller has been accused of:

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.
Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.
Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Pakistan for continued talks with Iran has now been officially delayed, US officials say.
The ceasefire with the United States expires in a few hours.
Trump will take credit for any victories, but blame Vance for any losses.
Illustrating once again the extent to which the Venezuela raid emboldened Trump to engage in further military adventurism.
It was literally two weeks ago that he promised to destroy the entire Iranian civilization. And a month before that, his military bombed an elementary school that killed at least 150 young girls.
For example, the landscape of Epstein Island
Wow 🤯
I honestly don’t see how the USA will survive the moral bankruptcy, democratic wreckage, and loss of international credibility caused by Trump 2.0
Just thinking about how *even Viktor Orban* realized that acknowledging election outcomes is a good thing.
This is already demonstrably incorrect. And Wright isn't even dead yet.
Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.
Donald is such an uninformed idiot.
Wait...what?
...maybe - just maybe - he's actually the worst president in history
