Democratic candidate Rebecca Cooke sends “Cease and Desist” order to Republican over deepfake ads. This should be an automatic fail for Van Orden. I wonder how many other failing candidates are resorting to this tactic. It's proof that they have nothing to run on. truthout.org/articles/dem...

📌The headlong rush to remove those B-1s from an allied air base in UK is NOT NORMAL. The intelligence necessitating such a chaotic withdrawal must have been daunting, and again points to the shoddy planning that went into this idiotic, unnecessary war. The world is far more dangerous place now.

Angela Paxton is asking Texans to stand by a man for six long years when she won’t even do it for one more day. Estranged from and divorcing Ken, won’t even say his name, and not good enough for her, but she claims he is perfect for Texans. Angie needs to lead by example.

Dozens of men failed to stop an alleged gang rape at Cornell – here’s the misperception that keeps bystanders from intervening and how to short-circuit it
People may accept bad behavior – even sexual assault – when they overestimate how acceptable their peers think it is. But there are ways to undermine this thinking and make intervention more likely.

Right. This deal is not designed to set the stage for a transition *FROM* fossil fuels *TO* renewables. But, rather, to lock in fossil fuel/AI data center infrastructure in the coming 2-year window where tech's desperately fixated on "speed to power." That. Is. What. This. Bill. Is. About.

The permitting deal is a Trojan Horse that lets Trump rush through fossil fuel-powered data center & associated infrastructure approvals on federal public lands w/little to no environmental review. And b/c they're sited on federal public land, states, Tribes, & local governments would have no say.

Reminiscent of 1972, when the Nixon administration sent out higher Social Security payments the month before the election, with the taxes to pay for it delayed until the following year. A policy that contributed to the accelerating inflation of the mid- and late-1970s.

Before the Trump-GOP tax law, corporations paid a 35% rate. Now they pay 21%. For the first time in nearly a century, the average American family pays a HIGHER effective tax rate than corporations. They flipped the script on working people.
