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.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

Per today's CPI report, Trump's war with Iran has caused an inflation bomb: Gas prices are up 27% compared to last year, airfare is up 23%, and fuel is up a jaw-dropping 52%. We are all paying the price for his warmongering.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

ICE arrests have hit a record high for Trump's second term. A vast majority of those who have been arrested are people with no criminal history. Remember that private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group were some of Trump's biggest donors. They're now reporting billions in revenue.

Sorry, what? The US didn’t just demand the right to restrict us from making trade deals with other countries - they demanded that they be able to force Canada to impose new tariffs on other countries and set the rates of those tariffs. That’s just agreeing to let the US control our economic policy.

Trump is still pushing tariffs, claiming they will revive U.S. manufacturing. But we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office in 2025 And U.S. imports grew while the trade deficit in goods hit a record high. The chaos amounted to nothing but higher costs for you.
