Awful: Trump's Office of "Remigration" has just been exposed making sordid payments to authoritarian governments to take third-country deportees, leading to serious abuses. Dems tell me they will try to defund the agency if they win power. They should. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2157...

Sordid revelations about the white-nationalist-themed Office of Remigration should galvanize Democrats: If they win power, they must try to shut it down.

There will effectively be no TV coverage of Trump's UN visit or other presidential events, though I imagine smaller networks may take the White House's own feed. This is a very big deal and one only possible because of solidarity from the whole pool. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

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.
