After a woman obtained public records indicating a Google datacenter would cover only one-third of the cost of a new solar plant to power the facility — contradicting its promises that ratepayers would not be on the hook — her electricity company sued her.

Despite knowing Clint Massie was abusing girls for years, church leaders never reported him to police. It felt like “a group of people who are not just trying to protect someone — but something,” the DA said. “They have enabled something awful here.” (Published Nov. 2025 w/ @startribune.com)

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

We’re more than 7 months into Trump’s war with Iran with no clear end in sight. Servicemembers have been injured and killed, while this war drives up costs at home. Americans deserve to know why we’re still fighting and what the plan is to end it.

Trump brags that his uncle taught at MIT, trying to piggyback on his uncle’s IQ. "I believe in genetics." What he doesn’t talk about is the genetics of a closer relative, his father, who had dementia and Alzheimer's. The family built a fake office for Fred Trump to pretend he was still working.

The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality.

Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, are no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation's top law enforcement agency.
