A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

Questions continue to swirl around the prolonged absence of GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey as he entered his THIRD month away from Congress, with no clear return date from what staffers say is an undisclosed “personal medical matter” and a competitive re-election race looming in the background.

Tom Kean Jr. has been missing from Congress for 2 months. Questions continue.
The congressman's chief of staff says he will return to a regular schedule soon, but GOP colleagues report "radio silence" and House leadership remains in the dark.

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.
