A Republic If You Can Keep It @arepublicif.bsky.social · 4h

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Marjorie Taylor Greene was the poster child of MAGA politics.

Feral, conspiratorial, divisive, frothing with all kinds of prejudice.

These days she almost sounds measured and reasonable.

No, she didn’t find Jesus.

Her party’s alliance with the oligarchs moved them closer to the Devil.

Jeffries: "Understand, until Donald Trump tells them what to do, Republicans in the House and Senate are going to be unwilling to find a bipartisan path forward because this version of the Republican Party, they don't work for the American people. They work for Donald Trump."

One report estimates that, in areas near data centers, wholesale electricity costs have risen by more than 200 per cent in the past five years. Rates will probably continue to increase to meet demand.

Inside the Data Centers That Train A.I. and Drain the Electrical Grid

A data center, which can use as much electricity as Philadelphia, is the new American factory, creating the future and propping up the economy. How long can this last?

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.
