A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
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.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top Dem on the House appropriations panel, says DHS is *choosing* not to pay TSA workers while paying its other employees.
She says:
85% of ICE + CBP are being paid
75% of Secret Service
0% of TSA workers
"The Department made that decision," DeLauro says on the House floor.
Not the first time Melania has had to drop her price.
And there you have it, folks. People dying daily, and he does not care. A rare moment of honesty.

Fetterman doesn’t even give a shit about the kids in Iran. Let that in for a second.

“Trans children are perfect.”
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Proud to call her an incredible friend for 23 years and counting. What a boss.
