This is the way to go. No $1.5T budget increase, adding to the deficit on taxpayers’ backs with the added slap that no benefit goes to the taxpayers. Let Trump’s petro corporations, beneficiaries of the stupid war, pick up the tab.

Trump is so worried about the 2026 election and his loss of power, impeachment, and impact on corrupt Trump wealth that his priority is the SAVE act to rig the election. He doesn’t care about his base and the TSA workers.

Impeachment is now required. Then release the Epstein Files.

Those corporations owning the data centers must be required to pay the costs of energy production and distribution needed for the data centers. The general public should not be subsidizing the corporate responsibility by accepting rate increases to pay these costs. Same for water and land and environmental protections.

Probably true but also probably not the primary motivation of the Trump administration. I believe the motvation is destabilizing the regime to have it overthrown for Rubio’s retribution. And for distraction from Epstein files! And for Trump to pretend to be strong and powerful.

There was no need to “update” the published report.
Also, the previous climate reports need to be returned for public consumption.

Last week, Tesla was ordered to pay [$243 million](https://www.levernews.com/r/2de4f734?m=fe0dccbe-c0ad-454a-8557-0781a8dce823) in damages after a Model S driving on autopilot killed a woman when it ran through a stop sign, a stop light, and into a parked car. This is the first time the company has been found liable in many [fatal crashes](https://www.levernews.com/r/e9ab987b?m=fe0dccbe-c0ad-454a-8557-0781a8dce823) involving its autopiloting cars.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Musk touted $2T, brought down to $1T, and quit - saying he could only find $150B. Nothing actually audited, now reporting only $13B. Meanwhile thousands of hard-working, critical government employees lost jobs. And oversight orgs of Musk and Trump activities are closed. As well as seriously important programs to American standing in the world, as well as protecting the economy and citizen well-being. Tornadoes hit as recently as today without support. https://ohai.social/@tangledwing/114525612659844619

There is so much that the Israeli government could be doing to knock down apartheid and build respect for the Palestinian people while pushing back on terrorism. But the Israeli government doesn’t act constructively. They encourage tribalism where an “other” is required in order to feel strong, falsely.
“No Other Land” well demonstrates the issue while proving that humans can live together without resorting to dehumanizing acts as the Israeli government has taken. https://mastodon.social/@EndIsraeliApartheid/114104286183264136

Chris Murphy (D-CT) provided a summary of the House budget plan. The GOP tried to shield the public from the plan to hand over money and wealth to the rich by holding the hearing on the weekend night. The tax cut to the rich is 850x what is offered to the working class. And any reduction to the workers is lost to pay for all the benefits being reduced or eliminated in the budget and tax plan. Read about it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/vXD484ilAO

Over the last few years I have boycotted liquor made in or distributed by red states. Interesting that these states have lots of “dry” laws and yet profit from liquor sales.

It’s really surprising to me to learn that the country has been taken over by the ultra-right wing of the Catholic Church. For most of the life of this nation the Catholics were out of favor, prejudiced against by the Protestants and Humanists populating the colonies and states. Very interesting how the Catholic Church has such an ability to return to power and hold power. It just demonstrates how important is the separation of church and state.

“Harris would be the only president in history who has worked for all three branches of the government, and holds degrees in economics, political science, and law. She is not a convicted felon or repeat sex offender and in fact has been instrumental getting criminals put away. Plus she knows what it’s like to be a woman of color in this country.

The Republicans voted against FEMA funding and continue supporting Trump and his acolytes as they lie about lacking assistance to hurricane victims. Its all lies intended to politicize the assistance. Everything they do is hateful and polarizing even as Americans come together in these emergencies to help each other.

The indictment is abhorrent. Trump and Epstein are accused in torrid, dramatic, and sadistic detail of sexual perversion and raping of a 12 year old female while being observed by another child. The latter was responsible for documenting the details for Epstein to have as evidence over his “friends”, Trump in this case. https://newsie.social/@Tbsa/112730019751077659
