Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

Jesse Watters claimed Obama started the Wall Street bailouts. President George W. Bush did in the last months of his second term. He pushed for and signed Emergency Economic Stabilization Act in October 2008. The financial crisis also started under GW Bush.

Before Hitler rose to power, Germany had thousands of competing newspapers. Then the Nazis learned how to control who could be a journalist, what could be reported—and eventually, what counted as news. Here’s why Trump's press purge matters. thecycle.substack.com/p/how-to-kil...

The Trump administration is considering data center-related projects across at least 17,600 acres of public land — far more than previously reported. Reminder: 70% of Americans oppose data centers, but Trump is heavily invested in the corporations pushing AI. Always follow the money.

There are at least two provisions in the U.S. Code that make it illegal to offer or accept a $5,000 "GOP Dividend" for voting. Both the offerer (Donald Trump) and the accepter (good luck with that!) are liable for fines and jail time.

More than 70% of Texas data centers refused to answer a state-mandated inquiry about their water use. These Corrupt Bigshots want our water while keeping Texans in the dark about how much they're taking.
A Dallas Morning News graphic showing large electrical transmission lines and towers beside a data center facility and a nearby home. Text reads: “More than half of Texas data centers broke law by not responding to water use inquiry.”

I don’t get it. Wyoming might be able to affect the power or rights of Wyoming-formed corporations. But how would they be able to stop other states’ corporations from making political donations? And would this mean that corporations are not empowered to make charitable contributions as well?

A well-established principle of health care economics is that people will consume more services when those services are free. Of course, this is a different way of saying when care costs more, people will get less of it.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.
