Snake oil salesmen backed by billionaires are swindling us on data centers to build out Artificial Intelligence to spy and steal from us so they can replace humans. #EpsteinClass #Water #PeopleOverProfits #PublicLand morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/the-great-da…

Well Spanberger seems to be going over like a lead balloon…

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it. Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago. IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued. The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk. The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit. Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”  Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million. The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out. This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president. Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues? nytimes.com/2026/05/19/adm…

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the DOJ to implement it. ms.now/rachel-maddow-…

VICTORY! Thank you, Philadelphia. Let’s get to work.

I love this!!! I hope more directors and writers get into doing these videos bc I wanna know how the sausage gets made! Lol. And streaming has taken away my special features so this is as close as we get

8 Senate Democrats just voted to advance one of Trump's judicial nominees. Which raises the question: WTF? Dick Durbin John Fetterman Ruben Gallego Maggie Hassan Martin Heinrich Jack Reed Jeanne Shaheen Sheldon Whitehouse

@TiaraMinae Congrats 🩵🤍💙

I HAVE A DEGREE FROM SPELMAN COLLEGE!!!!

Have you been injured? #slushfund

Meta is attempting to stifle I Love Boosters content. They have never done this to any bank heist movies nor any mafia movies, nor any movies like Top Gun: Maverick showing a criminal group doing criminal activities. I Love Boosters- in theaters May 22nd.

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

Scoop: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department suddenly stepped down on Monday. Comes in the wake of the Trump admin's $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund."

Chicago’s parking meter system may soon be controlled by another private equity firm: Stonepeak. Illinois pension systems have committed at least $280M to Stonepeak-managed funds, exposing Illinois retirees to geopolitical risks tied to fossil fuel infrastructure and LNG shipping assets operating near the Strait of Hormuz. Separate research also linked Stonepeak-backed fossil fuel infrastructure to an estimated $1.4M–$2M in annual health-related costs in Illinois. City Council should scrutinize the risks to Illinoisans before approving this deal.

Today is the 130th anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, which established that racial segregation laws did not violate the Constitution. In the Library's Prints & Photographs collection, there are many visual examples of the “separate but equal” doctrine in practice.

Republicans were against forgiving student loans for nurses and teachers but they are fine with Trump giving your money to child molesters.

The largest power grid in America is allowing data centers to shift billions in costs on other consumers, according to a new FERC complaint from Maryland. Maryland residential customers will pay an extra ~$345 over 10 years to subsidize PJM transmission lines for data centers.

You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.

Second, Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment prevents the use of federal funds to pay for “any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States." So, Congress could not set up a J6ers millionaire trust fund even if we wanted to, which we do not. (3/3)

You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. cnbc.com/2026/05/18/tru…
