The largest data center in the world is planned to be built in Ohio, and it'll cost up to $40,000,000,000 to construct. The 3,700 acre center will require 10 Gigawatts, 1/3 of Ohio's entire power grid capacity, to run.

"They told us the paint was safe enough to eat. So we put the brushes in our mouths hundreds of times a day. And now our bones are still radioactive a century after we died.' They were called the Radium Girls. Teenagers who painted watch dials with glowing paint, who danced in the dark covered in their own light, who were told they had nothing to fear. Their employer knew better. They just never told the girls." Orange, New Jersey, 1917. Grace Fryer was eighteen when she walked through the doors of the U.S. Radium Corporation. The job seemed almost too good to be true: painting watch dials with luminous paint so soldiers could read their watches in the trenches of World War I. The pay was better than any factory work available to young women. The paint actually glowed. The girls painted their nails with it, their teeth, their faces—showing up to dances shimmering like something out of a fairy tale. They called themselves the Ghost Girls. Their supervisors told them the paint was perfectly safe. "You could eat it," one said with complete confidence. So they did. Every day. The technique was called "lip-pointing"—put the brush between your lips to make a fine point, dip it in radium paint, paint the number, repeat. Hundreds of times a day. Thousands of times a week. Gram after gram of radium-laced paint passed through their lips, settled permanently in their bones. The male scientists and supervisors working with the exact same paint wore full protective gear behind lead shields. They already knew what radium could do. They simply never told the women. By 1922, the sickness began. Teeth fell out. Jaws dissolved. Bones snapped from the smallest movements. And something else—something no one could explain. They glowed in the dark. At night, standing before their mirrors, their own bodies gave off pale greenish light. The radiation had buried itself so deep it was literally shining through their flesh. When Grace Fryer's symptoms appeared in 1923, she went to the company for help. U.S. Radium denied everything. Their hired doctors blamed syphilis—a deliberate, cruel strategy to label dying women as prostitutes. Grace found a lawyer in 1927. By then she could barely walk, her spine collapsing, weighing under 90 pounds. Four other dying women joined her. The company's legal strategy was simple: delay until they died. But when the women appeared in court in 1928, the public saw with their own eyes what the company had done. Grace had to be carried in. Quinta McDonald's face had sunk where her jaw was eaten away. The outrage was unstoppable. U.S. Radium settled. Each woman got about $175,000 in today's money. Grace died in 1933 at 34. By 1937, all five were gone. What they did can never be undone. Before the Radium Girls, companies faced almost no consequences for injuring workers. Their case changed everything—workers gained the right to sue for negligence, companies became legally required to warn about hazards, employers were held responsible for occupational injuries. Every warning label on a chemical container. Every required piece of protective equipment. Every workplace safety law. Five dying women built that. In 2014, researchers held a Geiger counter to Grace Fryer's grave. Ninety-one years after her death, her bones still registered radiation. They will glow for 1,600 years. "She could barely stand when she brought her lawsuit. Her spine was giving way. She knew she wouldn't survive. She sued anyway—not to save herself, but to save people she would never meet. Her bones still glow beneath New Jersey soil. Her name is written into every workplace safety law in the country. The company that poisoned her is remembered only for what it did. Grace Fryer will never be forgotten." © Tales Of Past #archaeohistories

I expect every Republican who was outraged at people for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death to immediately condemn Trump for saying “I’m glad he’s dead” about Robert Mueller. This is disgusting.

Our message is clear: Fund TSA. Fund FEMA. Fund the Coast Guard. Pay our federal workers! But not a penny more to ICE.   Republicans are playing games with ICE, refusing even the most basic accountability measures. That’s why we filed legislation this week to get vital programs funded while holding them accountable.   We are not here to play. Not when American lives are on the line.

Question: I'm a waiter at a local restaurant in Queens, a full time college student who sleeps an average of four hours a night and is still thousands in debt. How is a war in a country half the world away funded by the taxes pulled from my check, helping me in any way?

@CBSNews Other countries 'stepped up' to protect themselves from Trump's insane war. It's like Trump threw a rock at a hornet nest and now those hornets are attacking everyone. Trump has destroyed the world's trust in America.

When asked which countries have been the most cooperative with the U.S. amid the war with Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Thursday that Israel, “from day one, has been an incredible and capable partner," adding that the Gulf states have “stepped up incredibly”: “We’re proud to be defending with them, standing with them, you name it. UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and others.”
