This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

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?

What Trump can’t comprehend is, when the sun shines solar panels augment energy, when it’s windy, wind turbines augment energy. What he does understand is, he gets a lot of phone calls from his oil company buddies angry at the mention of solar and wind power.

Modular homes "will abide by regulations" says housing minister James Browne 😉😉

State urged to step in as 1,500ac Lugnaquilla summit holding has asking price slashed by €5m A 1,500ac Wicklow holding, including the summit of Lugnaquilla, is for sale with a guide price of €2m – a drop of €5m from its guide price 12 months ago.

The Irish state has a terrible track record when it comes to looking after land for nature restoration, but it should immediately buy this and give the land back to the public.

Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it.

Every single Democrat should be saying this.

'Predator' leaders seeking new 'world order' - Amnesty The leaders of the United States, Israel and Russia are seeking to impose a new "predatory" world order while most countries are too cowardly to stop them, rights group Amnesty International said.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Took a night-train from Budapest Keleti to Stuttgart last night. They don’t make railway stations like they used to!

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

So if Trump says the Iran War is over 12 different times does that count as Trump ending 12 wars?

Well worth watching this clip ..

6 days after Trump made 13 celebratory posts in a hour claiming that Iran surrendered to all his demands and the war is over, he’s back threatening to blow up power plants and bridges.

Mamdani: "To be honest, I don't think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery-to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION per day to kill people in Iran and Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics." @TheTNHoller

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

Trump was responsible for the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. Traitors did his bidding, but he must be held singularly responsible.

A strong voice of moral clarity.

All to appease his dementia-ridden cult leader...

With Trump, “we’re watching a geriatric patient wandering through a geopolitical hallucination on stage, in front of the whole world” …

I told @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social that Israel has become even more dependent on US, not less - and this isn't likely to change given expansionist agenda beyond 67 borders and strategy of having military upper hand in region of half a billion by a state of 10 million.

Donald Trump is the most hated man on Earth!

Retweet if you believe this to be true!

4 runners seen side by side running down the middle of the road. The road is quiet and safe because it is in a low traffic neighbourhood

‘Quality of life’ isn’t a big house, luxury goods or a fancy car. It’s being able to cycle your kids on safe streets or run side by side down peaceful roads with your friends. Everyone can & should have this.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

This is an eye-popping long-read from a former staff member about how the Trump regime and its crass acolytes trashed the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Just like what happened to the arts in Berlin during the Nazi era, really …

“Irreversible”.

This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.
