BREAKING: In a 53-47 vote, Senate Republicans failed to pass an anti-voting measure that would have required voters to provide photo ID to cast ballots. The vote follows repeated failures by the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, an anti-voting bill Trump has called his “No. 1 priority.”

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

Especially if you live in Texas, check your voter registration status NOW — but everyone should be doing it. Republicans are desperate to hold onto power, and they’ll cheat and suppress the vote to do so. Don’t assume you’re registered just because you’ve voted before. Check. Verify. Be vigilant.

Data centers get tax breaks, subsidies and electricity at a fraction of what ordinary households pay. Communities get higher infrastructure costs, greater pressure on the power grid, environmental impacts and higher energy bills. The profits are privatized. The costs are socialized.
