According to new reports, Trump's White House personally ordered the Pentagon to give a $620M loan to a company linked to Don Jr. Stocks for other Don Jr.-advised defense contractors are surging, amid rumors of more DoD deals. This is corruption. Watch.

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS. On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently. Rise, repeat. It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless. Like Fetterman.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?
