Work three, paid for five? The last productivity boom already answered that. Since 1979, output per hour is up 93.7 percent while typical worker pay is up 32.7 percent. The gains showed up. The paycheck never got the memo, so the three-day week comes with a three-day check.

The warehouses were one buy. DHS also bought finished prisons. In July it paid CoreCivic about $1.5 billion for two California detention centers, Otay Mesa and California City, and CoreCivic still manages California City. Taxpayers own the building and the company kept the job of running it

The love is in writing. His July 2025 executive order offers data center projects over 100 MW federal land, loans and loan guarantees, grants, tax incentives and offtake deals, and tells agencies to carve out new environmental review exemptions for them. Towns get the noise and builders get paid.

You voted yes on the bill that was supposed to do exactly that. The Ratepayer Protection Act only makes states consider a cost standard for loads over 100 MW. States that already considered one are exempt. ‘Should’ is doing all the work, in your post and in the bill. Pass a bill with teeth.

Same machine over here, with a jail attached. In Ferguson, Missouri, a woman parked illegally once in 2007. Two citations and a $151 fine turned into two arrests and six days in jail. By December 2014 she’d paid $550 and still owed $541. Collections turned a parking ticket into a subscription.

The House had a shot at the ‘pays the full cost’ part. The Ratepayer Protection Act, text only makes states consider a standard for loads over 100 MW. States that already considered one are exempt. Your one sentence has more teeth than the whole bill.

Failing a Physical Fitness Test (PFT) or Combat Fitness Test (CFT) in the U.S. Marine Corps results in an adverse fitness report, promotion restrictions, and mandatory remedial training. Time for demotion?

Trump Cancels Enforcement Against Corporate Criminals - Public Citizen

A brutal winter heating bill is coming for some homes

Eight of every ten gallons of home heating oil is burned in the Northeast, go check your oil tank. Heating oil is running 21 to 50 percent higher this winter depending on who does the math, and at the high end that's about $878 more a house. Now they want to put in trucks ? Not going to get cheaper.

Heating bills are eating into household budgets before winter sets in, with stark divides between fuel types.

Road salt is the small one. Most of the country's heating oil burns in the Northeast, and heating oil bills are projected up 50 percent this winter, about $878 a house. The White House budget zeroes out LIHEAP for the sixth time. She needs to stand up where it matters.

The US strike hit a school in Iran and killed more than 150 people, at least 120 of them children. The Pentagon's own review, cites stale intel and too much trust in an AI targeting tool. This month we cut the human review clause. What could go wrong? I am sure AI learned from the mistake.

In July 2025, Angela Paxton filed for divorce from her husband of 38 years. The grounds in court were adultery. The grounds she gave in public were biblical. “I believe marriage is a sacred covenant,” she wrote, and said staying no longer honored God or anyone in the family.

Leader Schumer, Whitehouse Unveil Comprehensive New Report Exposing Corrupt Fossil Fuel Industry Control Over Trump Administration

Federal onshore oil paid a 12.5% royalty from 1920 until the IRA raised it in 2022. OBBBA put new leases back at 12.5%, and the new Senate Democrats' report counts that as a payoff. It is one. The repeal it recommends on page 56 was in Biden's 2021 budget and never made the IRA.

One fix in this report is repealing 13 oil and gas tax breaks. That was in Biden's first budget in 2021. The IRA passed in August 2022 with zero Republican votes and didn't repeal them.

Senator, the spy car is a Michigan product. GM sold drivers' location and driving data to brokers who scored them for insurers, then ate a five year FTC ban. Honda took 26 cents a car, Hyundai 61. Tesla staff swapped owners' camera clips in office chat. Beijing isn't ahead of Detroit.

On Aug. 31, McCormick said data centers and AI are 20/80 in the US and blamed China. Now "many of them are very popular." PJM's market monitor ties $29.4B of the last four capacity auctions to data center demand. People don't need a foreign campaign to read their electric bill.

41 states just got $694 million back from a subprime auto lender that scored its own loans for what percent it could collect. Also, made some loans it predicted would not even repay the principal, and let dealers pack on service contracts buyers never agreed to.

Look how the last try went. Steward's CEO blew off a Senate subpoena, the Senate voted unanimously to refer him for criminal contempt, and it's been sitting at DOJ two years this Friday. Cassidy and Sanders had to write in August asking where it went. Prison time needs a prosecutor.

Last time anybody counted, it was $696 billion a year owed and never paid. That's the 2022 number. The 2023 count was due last fall and it's still sitting there marked delayed. Funny how the scoreboard breaks the same year you start cutting the refs.

Congressman Gabe Evans’ Bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act Passes the House

His own one pager calls it a 'light touch approach' and a 'federal recommendation.' Neither document mentions that a state is excused entirely if it already held a proceeding about it. 417 to 3 on Wednesday, blocked in the Senate on Thursday. This Congress passes nothing useful.

$166 billion collected and about $100 billion of it already refunded, with nothing in the refund conditioning it on a pass-through. FedEx is sending roughly $800 million back to its customers anyway. Target took $994 million and promised some of it as lower prices. Oh boy!

Stop watering these bills down. The bill gives state utility commissions two years to "complete the consideration" of making data centers pay, under a law that lets them "decline to implement." That's how you get 417 to 3. Nobody votes against a bill that doesn't make anybody pay.
