This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

Russia again threatens NATO with nuclear strikes, this time if NATO "attempts to cut off Kaliningrad," which translates into normal English as "if they dare to defend the Baltic states from Russian aggression." They are an unhinged mad beast, and wht do we do with a mad beast?

Ken Paxton just humiliated Donald Trump by blaming him for why he's losing in Texas. When Paxton was losing the primary, Trump saved him. Now Paxton is flailing in the general, Trump is burning hundreds of millions of his own money in Texas, and Paxton turns around and stabs him in the back?
