I’m sick of this tired talking point from Trump and now Darline Graham… “China has already said they want to be the global leader… If we don’t build data centers for 2 years… we are going to be in trouble.” 📌 The US already has 4,978 more data centers than China.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

The DOJ has never been perfect. There has always been plenty to criticize. But the DOJ today, after not even two years of Trump, is a rotten shell of what it once was; untrusted by sizeable portions of the federal judiciary, hollowed out at the core, and run without principle.

The book A People's History of Florida 1513-1876 really taught me so much I never learned growing up in Florida. Not only did Seminole never sign a treaty but a big reason for the govt waging war against them was they refused to hand over Black ppl who had freed themselves. Fought in solidarity.

To be clear, Mr. Attorney General, the 1st Cir struck down your policy after full adversary briefing on 9/18. Rather than seek clarification on whether it took effect immediately, you tried to fly still more people to 3d countries so it would be too late for them. On 9/23 it found out & stopped you.
Without even allowing the government a chance to respond, and in the dark of night, a federal appeals court blocked us from conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens, an entirely legal and invaluable tool to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We will immediately seek relief from the Supreme Court, which previously granted a stay in this very same case.
