DAILY SHOW: “Donald Trump is swooping in to save farmers… from Donald Trump. To make up for $44 Billion in losses he’s bailing them out with $12 Billion. (12 is less than 44)”

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Last week's false earthquake warning in Northern California hammers home the real-life impacts of the Trump Administration's incompetence and neglect.

Their disaster strategy endangers Californians and our response to future earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods.

It is evident that there are significant concerns regarding the accuracy of statements made by Trump, as many believe he has manipulated the truth to achieve his goals. There is a growing need for Americans to critically evaluate his motivations and the implications of his actions.

As officer Daniel Hodges sat at the witness table of a recent Senate subcommittee hearing, Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) asked the witnesses to raise their hands if they supported the pardons of Jan 6 rioters, including those who beat officer Hodges

You can see Hodges looking at the responses

Chief US District Judge James Boasberg set testimony for Monday and Tuesday of next week to determine whether to refer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for criminal contempt.

Criminal contempt can mean fines, jail time, and a permanent record. Courts do not bluff.

NEW: Christopher Dawson won hundreds of millions in federal contracts, promising to help Native Hawaiians.

Documents suggest he pocketed the profits to invest in a beachfront horse farm and luxury homes.

With @civilbeat.bsky.social
He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him.
A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

The endgame here is getting the Supreme Court to declare that the entire civil service system is unconstitutional. Which is to say, this administration does not want us to be a modern, efficient, globally competitive nation-state.

We must reject the administration’s push to reopen Southern California’s federal waters to offshore drilling. It’s important to understand that such a move would NOT lower our gas prices. Any production from our coast would be too limited to influence global markets, which determines what we pay.
