Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.
The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The vile Trump takeover of FEMA is complete- only states that voted for Trump get climate disaster relief.
Alaska, North Dakota, and Missouri approved. Vermont, Illinois and Maryland denied.
Trump explicitly cited how the states voted in announcing the approvals.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

There's so much venom in this press release I'm surprised Sec. Rollins gets cleared by APHIS on international flights.

Few things are as dangerous as a person with free time and nothing to lose. Give 'em hell Colbert.
Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.
