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.

Most of his cloacal utterances can be ignored. I find it easier to take the default position of assuming every word he says is a lie, including "a", "and", and "the". Only if a reliable source confirms it will I believe his statements.

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.👇

Say it again for the people pretending not to hear: you don’t get to blame ghosts of presidents past. There is only one president right now and this is his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mess. 👇
