From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

Wow. Given that no one wants data centers near them, they’re trying to eliminate the need for public input. They also want to allow building before permits are issued. So…find a way to submit your input anyway. Call & email & speak up. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/c...

Mitch McConnell was complicit in fascism. He destroyed the US Senate and stole Supreme Court seats. Let's not pretend otherwise. If you're a Democrat who doesn't want to call it like it is, how about you stay silent instead? Just like you do on genocide, anti-Muslim & anti-Black violence.

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.
