New reports reveal Meta has been classifying gigantic data centers as "pilot models" in order to secure a tax credit from the 1980s. The loophole has allowed Meta to avoid paying nearly $4,000,000,000 in taxes last year alone.

22 of our servicemembers have been killed in Trump's illegal war. Not 18 like we were told. The Pentagon hid four more heroes' deaths from us for months. Congress cannot let them get away with this. I wrote a bill we can pass to stop this egregious playbook immediately.

Fanny packs are great, until they carry weight, then they tend to sag (especially on us dumpy hags☺️) For real though, leg packs aren't bad, they're honestly just cumbersome when you need to pop a squat or have a wee. The straps are often thin, and inner leg flesh is softer so they can chafe.

Bonkers quote from Susan Collins spox here given her husband was a lobbyist before they were married (i.e. when he was her date to a White House gala); ran a K Street lobbying shop WHILE they were married; and WORKED FOR A LOBBYIST LAST YEAR! Who do these folks think they're fooling? #MEpolitics
Maine Monitor article: The Monitor asked if Collins and her staff have taken any specific safeguards to make sure the family lobbying rules were followed and there were no lobbying contacts between her legislative staff and Daffron. 

“Susan Collins has never been married to a lobbyist, and none of her family members is a lobbyist, so this question does not apply to her,”
