Rapid data center construction to meet power demands from AI platforms is driving electricity prices up sharply, while Republicans' big bill slows the construction of energy projects. Our bill would generate policy changes to lower costs for the American people.
Americans are seeing higher energy bills because of AI data centers.

Our bill with Representative Don Beyer will protect families and small businesses from these rising costs.

Jeffries calls for video of the September 2 boat strikes to be released and asks, "if Hegseth and the administration think their actions are justifiable, what are they hiding from the American people?"

Don’t let them try and make this go away.

Hegseth must release the full, UNEDITED video of the boat strike to all Americans.

Everyone deserves to be able to see and judge for themselves if this man should stay in this role.

Very annoyed at this.
Congress knows how to use the power of the purse to get what it wants, but refuses to do it to, like, make sure that grants get to Head Start.
Just a total warping of priorities, using the power only in these narrow contexts and never to help poor people
Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos
Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

This is why we can't have nice things. We all already know that poverty, insecurity, and inequality contribute to crime, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT DOES. The Finland pilot compared a group given unemployment benefits income to a group provided the same amount of basic income. Why expect less crime?

My life would had gone very differently if anyone had picked up on and encouraged my talent for coding or electrical engineering.

Instead, I got told in high school that "girls don't do science."

My BA is in English. Not a total regret, I wouldn't be where I am. But sometimes I wonder...
This tweet in 2021 inspired a very early entry in my blog “The Hacker Ethic” actually the first piece of writing specifically for the blog.

I have many friends who are women hackers or are women in tech, and I have seen or listened to the experiences of misogyny in those communities and fields.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Hen forgot to count the 700,000 Jewish settlers living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which like the rest of Palestine, is very much part of the Arab world.
Did you know?

There are more Muslims living in Tel Aviv than Jews across the entire Arab world.

When middlemen jack up the prices of products, it can be a matter of life or death. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social pulls the middlemen of the American economy out of the shadows and shows how they are profiting while buyers shoulder the cost.
