At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

Data centers are literally changing the environment around them. A new study found they may be raising temperatures for miles around their facilities, harming plants, animals, and people alike. We deserve answers before more of these projects are approved across our state.
News graphic showing an aerial view of a large data center complex with multiple industrial cooling units, utility infrastructure, and a sprawling facility located near an urban area at sunset. Overlaid text reads: “Data centers are so hot their ‘heat island’ effect is raising temperatures up to 6 miles away and impacting 343 million people worldwide, study finds.” The graphic highlights research suggesting that waste heat generated by data centers can affect temperatures in surrounding communities.
