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.

I suspect those who've speculated are right. Trump went ballistic on round one of the QatarForce One story because underneath it was this pretty humiliating episode of Trump getting smuggled out of Turkey in a food cart. And he'd do anything to stop that from getting out.

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

🔥🔥 Another day, another Russian fuel tanker turning into a roadside fireworks show on the Mariupol-Dzhankoi highway. At this point, Putin’s logistics strategy is just “drive the gas to the front and pray the Ukrainians are on a coffee break.” Spoiler: they weren’t. 😂

When you win a war, you dictate the terms of the peace. When you lose a war, you try to salvage the best deal you can get to end hostilities. What we are doing is the latter.

They were gonna go with 12 stripes, but then there wouldn't have been room to put "Trump Phone" on it. Like MAGAs know how many stripes are on the U.S. flag (let alone what they symbolize).

Shades of "The Grapes Of Wrath" when the farmer is told that the corporation and the bank are foreclosing on him, not the man delivering the notice. Only then does he realize and understand that "There's nobody to shoot".

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.
Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

ICE in the Houston airport Hunter, Daily Kos - Periodically, small packs of ICE agents wander by. Their job is guns. They are there to watch, and to have guns. They do not know the rules about toothpaste, and will not answer your questions... They are just there to watch you, and to have guns.
