A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Cool move: Trump’s sons team up with banned foreign partners, sneak in fine print exempting the family from taxes, & Treasury just shrugs when asked. Scot-free has a new ring to it now. Corrupt Republicans keep protecting their guy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption
