Wondering why your utility bills are getting so expensive?

AI could be a big reason why.

AI data centers cost a ton to upkeep, and big tech companies are passing on those costs to local communities.

I'm pressing for answers.

This should be a huge scandal, right? If the media is going to lose it's collective shit over Hunter Biden's pardon, I would think that Trump selling pardons to rich convicted felons for $6 million a pop should register as more than a blip (if mentioned at all) in the news.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.

Rather than attempting to re-name the Kennedy Center, the Department of Defense, and Gulf of Mexico – how about naming the Dark Tetrad (psychopathy-sociopathy [ASPD] +  narcissism + Machiavellianism + sadism) after Trump?

Sharing videos like these next ones is important. If you have religious friends & they see religious leaders & police speaking out about #ICELawlessness it could make them think.

It could. It may not immediately sink in, but it could make the 1st dent.

RFKJr directs cancellation of funding to the American Academy of Pediatrics, apparently because it discriminates against white men. Ever been to a meeting of AAP? You'd see how ridiculous that claim is.
I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.

Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

(🧵) Just had one of the most upsetting experiences I’ve ever had with AI. As a test, I asked Grok to provide me with 200 statements about “Seth Abramson” that met two criteria: they are (a) true, (b) critical. What Grok returned was the most bizarre series of fabulations I have ever seen. Thus this:

The Trump regime has murdered at least 59 civilians in the Caribbean. At least one survivor has washed up on the coast of Mexico where the Mexican navy rescued him. The presidents of Colombia and Mexico have spoken out against the Trump led murders. Both countries are US allies.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.
