Data Centers **CAN** be built to be community assets rather than burdens. We just need to use the competition for siting in our communities to drive community concessions as they are built. The difference in cost amortized over the life of the data center isn't a problem.

Let me be clear: The Constitution delegates all responsibility for the conduct of elections to the States. If Trump is making a plan to control the elections or planning to declare federal martial law, he is committing high crimes under the Constitution and should be immediately impeached.

This week's economics lesson is interesting. Even higher interest rates + falling crude prices can't save Trump from inflation. He has a choice to make: - keep fighting Iran and let his supporters eat inflation - stop fighting Iran and let diesel and inflation drop Such binary choices are rare.

ummm... The election's about whether you're happy with inflation & economic & national security & immigration & corruption problems If you aren't happy, vote Democrat and they should accept this as a message to stop what's happening. If you're happy, vote GOP and let it ride Democracy!!

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

#TumpRussia #TrumpRussia #TrumpRussia Trump blames Ukraine for high diesel fuel prices. Facts show the price of diesel fuel has climbed steadily since Trump started his war with Iran. Now that the Red Sea Bab al-Mandab Strait is compromised expect higher fuel prices. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Diesel fuel in the US doesn’t come from Russia. We refine 96% of it ourselves, import 4% from Canada, per the DoE’s own statistics. Ukraine hitting Russian refineries only helped world oil prices trend *down* until Trump attacked Iran, by causing a glut of crude, as price records show:
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia refineries against Brent Crude and US diesel prices by month, January 2021 - August 2026
Data sources: Ukrainian refinery strikes collected by Kostiantyn Hoholenko on Bluesky Brent Crude daily prices from Business Insider Markets
US diesel weekly prices from US Federal Reserve Database (FRED)

(Oil and fuel prices spike when Russia invades Ukraine in late February 2022, trend steadily down again as Ukraine sends drones against Russian refineries in increasing numbers, then spike once more when the US attacks Iran in late February 2026)

Russia diesel exports halted in 8/26. This diesel price spike is a direct result of reduced Middle Eastern refining/transport caused by Trump's attack on Iran. Ukraine hitting another Russia refinery doesn't change Russian diesel exports, but it will bring the end of war and normalization closer.
