Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.

Data centers proposed on federal land in eastern Oregon, western states • Oregon Capital Chronicle
A data center proposed on BLM land near Hermiston would be the first on federal public land in Oregon, one of dozen proposed in six western states.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Lots of headlines on SCOTUS mail-in ballots ruling are wrong. A different injunction blocking the executive order still holds and the Post Office's proposed rule will probably be enjoined too. It ain't over yet. Steve Vladeck sets the matter straight: www.stevevladeck.com/p/246-making...

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

I agree. I think Ben Wikler has great advice (he made it work in Wisc). He did an interview on Pod Save America where he spelled out a road map for saving democracy (starts at the 1:13:06 mark) crooked.com/podcast/phon... I tried to sum it up in this screenshot, but he explains it better.
List of recommendations from Ben Wikler to save democracy:

    • Expand the map & safeguard the future of democracy.
    • Look at the whole map, unrig the system at the state & local level. 
    • Organize locally—those races are much less expensive & have huge upballot consequences. 
    • The states are the most critical battlefields (they prevent trump from stealing those elections)
    • Defang the electoral college (join the natl compact bill, bc land doesn’t vote, ppl do)
    • reform SCOTUS or expand
    • We need a national gerrymandering ban
    • We need to enlarge the House to have proportional representation
    • We need to abolish the filibuster
