Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

You don't have to overturn Citizens United to beat it. Corporations only exist because states charter them, so a state can decide spending in elections isn't a power they wield. Not regulation, redefinition. Hawaii made it law. Montana's gathering signatures. More states are watching.

When the narrative shifts this fast, it’s not evidence of a conspiracy, it’s evidence of a lie struggling to keep up with itself. Lies trip you up when your story changes.👇

Whistleblower Aid is doing very imporant work representing whistleblowers pro bono both in government and in private companies. 

For example, they’re repping the whistleblower against Tulsi Gabbard right now, ICE employees who are whistleblowers, and others across multiple federal agencies. 

They’re also repping whistleblowers against United Healthcare, among many others. 

Please follow them @whistlebloweraidlaw. 

And please reply to this post so more people can follow them.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Let’s call it what it is: murder
A tweet from Jessica Tarlov says: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers... The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.” Below is a screenshot from Fox News’ The Five showing Tarlov speaking on-air, with a chyron reading “TRUMP VS NARCOS – PRESIDENT RAMPS UP STRIKES AGAINST TRAFFICKERS.”

How conveniently they forget.
A tweet from Really American reads: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, Donald Trump Jr. says... that if his dad wanted to be king, he would never have left office. He tried to stay, Junior. On January 6th.” Below is a news screenshot showing Donald Trump Jr. on one side and a photo of Donald Trump shaking hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the other, with the Fox News chyron: “PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIGGERS THE LEFT.”
