Education Dept will garnish 15% of wages from people in default on student loans. Biden sought forgiveness, but SCOTUS blocked it. Tariffs and soaring insurance costs shrink paychecks. Meanwhile billionaires get tax cuts while the ACA subsidies are cut. That’s not policy—it’s punishment.

AI data centers used more water this year than Bitcoin mining. Their water usage is equal to the volume of bottled water consumed on the entire planet. And this is based on conservative estimates.
AI’s water and electricity use soars in 2025
It’s guzzling up even more water than expected.

Because Bari Weiss is an opportunistic political maneuverer, it probably doesn't get said clearly enough that she is also an astounding clod, in wildly over her head. The fact that she seems to have spiked this story without realizing this would happen tells you all you need to know about her.

Yes. The fascist politicians and billionaires who are currently ruining the country are massively mediocre thinkers and monumentally uncreative chumps. They have the advantage of a total lack of morals and a willingness to commit any crime imaginable. But they're losers and they will lose.
they are not brilliant.

the billionaires and institutions in this country are just more craven than we could have ever imagined, even in our most cynical imaginings.

(don't tell me you could imagine. I won't give you a medal.)

This tells you that Vance thinks the MAGA base isn’t just full of diehard racists; he thinks it’s full of diehard racists who are also too cowardly to be openly racist if they think people might disapprove

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.

Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…

All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.

We CAN change things.
It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

A terrible outcome.
A jury convicted a Wisconsin judge of obstructing federal agents’ arrest of an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, giving President Trump’s administration a win in its prosecutions of public officials who have challenged his agenda.

In his column talking about how irrelevant the Epstein files are, this guy should probably have mentioned that he had socialized at least once with Epstein and might end up in the Epstein files.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
