THIS is awesome news. However, I will continue to say it. Stop believing that billionaires give a flying fuck about you. Microsoft KNOWS the consequences of these data centers. He isn't stopping AI data centers to protect society. He stopped this ONE bcuz the ppl pushed back. Not all are informed.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I wish they'd make it for PC's. (I wish all companies still did) There are millions who still use a PC and honestly, with all the govt tracking, I have deleted most apps from my phone & only use my PC. BS never worked on my phone.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

It's time to pay attention America if you still want to be America. This isn't hyperbole. Open your fucking eyes. You went berserk when we were attacked on 911. Yet now, you sit by quietly while we are once again being attacked. I have news for you. You are ICE or YOU are the enemy within.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 16h

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

There's a reason. Spite is just an aside. ICE is calls in false 911 calls, when police refuse to respond, headline "police refuse urgent 911 call to help ICE agents in danger". ICE beats/kills ppl, headlines "Violent criminal attacks ICE". Makes cities look like war zones, invokes Insurrection ACT.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Reminder: The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday in Oslo, Norway.

Despite Generalissimo Mango's embarrassing obsession with receiving the award, Nobel watchers place Trump's odds of being the recipient at approximately... Zero.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
