While tech oligarchs grandstand about the existential danger AI poses to humanity, ex-EPA officials say we should be worried about a more immediate threat to our health: the data centers that power those AI models.

Judge strikes down Texas ban on drag shows, tells people offended by them ‘just don’t go’

Every vote matters

Susan Collins accepted campaign donations from known Jeffrey Epstein associates, while taking legislative action to block the release of the Epstein files.

Good one!

Greg Gutfeld seemed really concerned about the sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner. He sounded quite different a couple of years ago when a jury found Donald J. Trump liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. I have receipts.

Good Gosh

The disability community has long worried about what would happen if special education oversight moved from the Education Department to another agency. Now, those moves are becoming more real. n.pr/3SVjgTt

REMINDER 200 days ago the DOJ was ordered to release all of the Epstein files.

The House’s Epstein investigation will hit the one-year mark later this month, and the saga isn’t ending anytime soon. 🔗 politi.co/4h3mC0z

Just after Trump won reelection, his son joined the board of GrabAGun, a company that hopes to be the "Amazon of guns." Now Trump wants to roll back federal regulations on mailing handguns — a move that would financially benefit GrabAGun and Don Jr. We must not become numb to this corruption.

Bang. Recall that Zelensky was a television comedian before becoming president of Ukraine.

Kestrel fledging!

Thank you

When Bernie ran in 2016, the billionaire ‘Epstein class’ freaked out. It’s ten years later and they’re freaking out ever harder over the rise of AOC and Mamdani. They will gladly burn the country to the ground to avoid paying an extra 2% in taxes per year. Luckily, they’re really, really stupid.

The Justice Department has been ordered to either unredact names of “potential co-conspirators” mentioned in certain Epstein files by next Thursday.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

It looks like we found the Reflecting Pool vandal.

Do you want the right to vote?

I am sad to say so many in real life friends are not active in politics. They're either chanting for "good energy" thinking that will solve it (really) while the others are expecting everyone else to hold the line acting like they're too cool for this topic.

Hmm

Right on, George!

I feel that ALL standard journalistic outlets are compromised, including the Atlantic, based on current reporting.

I agree

For the EPSTEINth time RELEASE THE FILES

Reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

It's Blue!💙

This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock. This week, Trump's Pentagon announced a $9.7 billion contract with Dell.

Quite right

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)
