What a disgrace. Secretary Noem has no answer when asked about deporting combat veterans who have literally put their lives on the line for our country. It's shameful and a disrespect to those who have served.

Wasted food is a financial and environmental bummer. But there are some easy ways to tackle this problem and help both your wallet and the planet.
The food you toss costs you plenty and emits tons of pollution. We've got tips on how to cut down
Wasted food is a financial and environmental bummer. It costs the average person $728 per year, and it amounts to about the same planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions every year as 42 coal-fired power plants.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.
Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.
That’s a pretty good return on investment.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.
