When good is near you, when you have life yourself,-it is not by any known or appointed way; you shall not discern the footprints of any other; you shall not see the face of man; you shall not hear any name;-the way, the thought, the good shall be wholly strange and new. -Emerson

🚨🇺🇸HOLY SMOKES: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger just signed a bill capping insulin costs at $35 a month. The same insulin that Americans have been rationing because they can’t afford it. The same insulin that has killed people who skipped doses to save money. Democrats keep getting this done at the state level. Republicans keep blocking it at the federal level. This is what governing for people looks like.

They’re bulldozing 300+ homes using eminent domain, sucking residential water dry, and cutting power to 50,000 people — all to fuel roaring, toxic AI data centers that poison entire towns and build the total surveillance nightmare that’s coming for YOU. Your backyard is next.

🚨 WOWWW — UTAH — the brilliant young women @kevinolearytv 🤥 accused of being Chinese ops just discovered Utah speaker of the house Mike Schultz (Republican) bought 640 acres of land right next to the data center site just 2 months before it was announced. Incredible find.

Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES. With your tax dollars. The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls… …hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress… …assaulted cops. He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them. Disgusting.

Journalist Jim Acosta noticed that there are two staging areas in the traffic circle right across from the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery which looks like Trump is going to start construction of his Arch without approval from Congress & no work is being done to the pool

US Representative Ro Khanna drops a bombshell on MSNBC. He exposes that his Silicon Valley district alone controls 20 trillion dollars, warning that a tiny fraction of elites literally hoard American wealth while the rest of the country is completely abandoned.

🚨: NASA nuclear engineer becomes 12th scientists found dead as FBI launches investigation

Texas just told its own residents they need $174 billion to avoid a water crisis. The same state that is building 400 data centers btw...

Thomas Massie: “There’s a reason I’m their number one target.” “It’s because I’m effective.” “I used a discharge petition to get the Epstein files bill passed.” “I stopped a bill two weeks ago that would’ve allowed data centers to bypass the environmental and judicial process for getting permits.” “I got my signature legislation, the PRIME Act, in the … Farm Bill.” “The PRIME Act would allow local farmers to sell to local consumers using the local health department instead of the USDA getting involved.” “They don’t spend nearly $10 million against somebody who’s a backbencher.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @Local12

🚨NEW: We are standing up to protect the 3M+ ballots cast in Virginia’s ballot referendum. At no moment in American democracy have we allowed millions of ballots from a statewide election to simply be rendered null and void. @naacp @adv_project

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔 They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center. One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

BOOM! SAY IT LOUDER: Gary Chambers Jr. just dragged Louisiana Republicans — while Speaker Mike Johnson wears holes in his kneepads for Dear Leader. Louisiana ranks dead last in economy and crime, 46th in education, 48th in infrastructure, 49th in environment, 46th in opportunity, with 18.9% poverty — worst in America. But they're stripping power from a Black-majority New Orleans instead of fixing any of it. This isn't reform. It's racist reconstructionism. Gary said it plainly: "You lost every constitutional amendment you proposed, even in your own districts." They don't ask the people because they know they'd lose. No choice. No vote. No voice.

A massive new hyperscale data center project called Stratos is planned for Box Elder County, Utah. If built, it would demand up to 9 gigawatts of electricity, more than twice the total power consumption of the entire state. But the real shock comes from the waste heat. According to Utah State University physics professor Robert Davies, the facility would generate an additional 7 to 8 gigawatts of heat, creating a total thermal output of roughly 16 gigawatts concentrated in one location. That energy release, Davies calculated, is comparable to detonating 23 atomic bombs per day in Hansel Valley, a high desert basin near the shrinking Great Salt Lake that naturally traps heat like a bowl. The project’s energy footprint would also be roughly equal to that of 40,000 Walmart Supercenters. Local temperatures could rise by about 5°F (2.8°C) during the day and a staggering 28°F (15.6°C) at night. Ecologists warn that such dramatic warming would stress an already fragile ecosystem, worsen toxic dust from the drying lakebed, and disrupt plants, wildlife, and water resources. As the backbone of artificial intelligence, data centers are essential for every AI query, image, and training run. The Stratos project now raises a critical question: Can the massive infrastructure behind AI expand without permanently transforming, and overheating, the communities and landscapes where it’s built?

#BREAKING: Hayes: “…it is hard dear viewer, to keep track of the very very long list of shady deals, and no bid contracts and outright corrupt crypto schemes that have been the hallmark of the presidency of Donald Trump…but I ask you tonight, to pay attention to the one he appears to be about to pull off, because it’s got to be the greatest HEIST in American history. A direct transfer of BILLIONS of YOUR taxpayer dollars directly into the bank account and the pockets of Donald Trump all dressed up as a settlement of a lawsuit in which Donald Trump is BOTH the plaintiff and also the defendant. It would be a maneuver that could nearly TRIPLE his net worth.”🤦‍♀️

This is what local accountability looks like: In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67. Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent. Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points. Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed. Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie’s opponent, Ed Gallrein, drew a very small crowd to his event despite being funded heavily by the Epstein class.

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

BREAKING: BOOM. Rep. Robert Garcia releases bombshell NEW Epstein report exposing how a top Trump cabinet official helped Jeffrey Epstein build his global sex trafficking network! In a hearing held just miles away from Mar-a-Lago, House Oversight Democrats held a shadow hearing – without any Republicans, of course – with Epstein survivors and announced the release of a new report that reveals the role that Trump’s first-term Labor Secretary Alex Acosta played in getting Epstein a sweetheart deal for sexually abusing children and enabling his global sex trafficking ring. “Today, Oversight Democrats are also publishing a new report. Now this report uses evidence obtained by our investigation, including and most importantly bank records that show how Alex Acosta's sweetheart deal let Epstein build a global network using enablers to bring in women who he could then exploit and abuse. And this report is just the beginning of numerous reports and information that we intend to put out over the course of the months ahead,” announced the California Democrat. The report concludes that “The NPA negotiated by Alex Acosta, with its narrow guilty plea and lenient sentence, enabled Epstein to continue his abuse and trafficking activities for almost another decade, shifting his focus to European and Central Asian women. DOJ releases and other documents produced to the Committee have revealed new details about just how widespread Epstein’s international trafficking network became after his 2008 conviction.” “Epstein took advantage of young women, using their immigration status, desire for education, or need for work experience to control and exploit them. The manipulation and abuse experienced by these women in multiple countries has been an underrepresented perspective in the story of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. The Committee seeks to uplift any survivors who wish to share these and other stories.” “The Committee will continue to investigate the individuals and entities that enabled and participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s international trafficking operation. We are committed to ensuring that all aspects of this operation are exposed and that survivors receive justice.” At least somebody is. While Democrats are uplifting the survivors and fighting for justice against these vicious sex criminals, Donald Trump and his administration is fighting to shift blame on to the survivors, putting their lives in danger from Epstein’s associates, and covering up one of the biggest sex trafficking scandals in modern memory. All of them need to be held accountable for their role in covering up these heinous crimes.

MacFarlane: Urging people not to go to SEC schools? Rep. Veasey: Absolutely. Why are we rewarding these schools with billions of dollars from kids who have been raised in our communities while our voting rights are being taken away, while the districts we represent are being taken away? Enough is enough.

A farmer in Appalachia Kentucky reports this is the second pass of a helicopter over their privately owned homested farmland. They deployed long-line/sling load operations of unknown origin. The tail number comes back to the Department of Interior, and the fleet of contracted aircraft. They made no contact with the owner. Kentucky is the next target for data centers, after Ohio. That's why they want to get rid of Massie.
