Data center subsidies ballooned to insane amounts this year. The data center tax exemptions include $2.5 billion in Georgia and $1.3 billion in Texas for FY2026, and nearly $2 billion in Virginia for FY2025. A lot of these data center tax exemptions are costing state budgets 10 to 20 times more in revenue than initially projected. This forgone tax revenue is a textbook example of shameless corporate welfare. These billions of dollars could be funding American schools, housing, healthcare, transit, etc. Not to mention the fact that data centers draw massive amounts of electricity and water, and the cost of these grid upgrades is blatantly being passed down to households and rate-payers through higher monthly utility bills. We're getting robbed blind, America.

The guy whose slogan was โ€˜Lock Her Up!โ€™ sent his personal lawyer and corrupt Attorney General on CNN today to cry about unfair threats from Democrats about investigating GOP corruption. We need to learn from Garland debacle and hold ALL these motherf*ckers accountable. Full Stop.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Securityโ€™s solvency for generations. How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

Ron DeSantis trying to distance himself from the trump administration like he wasn't the one who built a concentration camp surrounded by alligators where they feed migrants maggot infested food while desantis and trump's people laugh and sold merch!

Musk reposts a message claiming SpaceX made a mistake by helping Ukraine The post shared by the billionaire reads: โ€œIn hindsight, it was a mistake for SpaceX to send them thousands of free Starlink dishes and millions of dollars a month in free service at the beginning of the war. What started as internet access for civilians became the backbone for autonomous killing drones. And now if they donโ€™t support military use, they get skewered for it in the press.โ€

If you can understand a billionaire moving countries to improve his finances, you can understand an immigrant doing it to feed their children.

In a 2023 $TSLA earnings call, Elon Musk claimed Tesla had ***one million*** Cybertruck reservations. As of now, a TOTAL of approximately 71,000 Cybertrucks have sold. Today Musk announced that Tesla is DISCONTINUING the Cybertruck. Securities fraud, anyone?

How badly did MAGA lose? The polls were wrong. They predicted Trump, MAGA & the GOP would probably lose. No, they didn't just lose. The got decimated. They got wiped out so badly there is nothing left but the smell. It was worse than an extinction-level event. The dinosaurs were eliminated by one meteor. MAGA got eliminated by a million meteors. Big, small, white, black, brown, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, urbanites, country folks, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, young, old, middle age, from every state, every city, every town, every country, every district. This is more than just beautiful, poetic, righteous, justified, logical, or deserved. It also rewards sanity. All of us who hate Trump kept thinking, why doesn't everyone hate him? How is that possible? Are they insane or are we insane? Why doesn't everyone despise him? The votes are in. They do. The sane people were right all along. Donald Trump is a destroyer, devoid of anything human. He only appeals to the very, very worst of us. And the worst of us woke up the best of us... The American people. On Tuesday the people sent a message to MAGA, possibly the clearest message in history: Fuck you and the orange prick you rode in on.

That would be luscious.
Congressional Democrats are going to haul him in for questioning over his election interference allegations, treasonous activities and shady business dealings. Heโ€™s fucked and he knows it. Iโ€™m hoping they seize his assets, nationalize his companies and then lock him up for an indefinite period of time before denaturalizing and deporting him back to Johannesburg.

Stephen Miller AKA "Pee Wee German" was the main architect of the Blue Tsunami of 2026. To elevate him to Chief of Staff is Donald Trump's way of telling America to go fuck itself. Investigate them all.

You speak for millions of Americans.
"I donโ€™t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because heโ€™s the presidentโ€™s son-in-law. I want him investigated because heโ€™s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I donโ€™t want Stephen Miller investigated because heโ€™s a racist ghoul whoโ€™s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because heโ€™s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I donโ€™t want Pete Hegseth investigated because heโ€™s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead Americaโ€™s military forces. I want him investigated because heโ€™s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politiโ€ฆ

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller. His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic. I say that without reservation.

While Melania Trump is playing nice in the White House with Putinโ€™s envoy, Russia dropped nine bombs on a school and shelter killing almost 100 Ukrainians.

Dear @WhiteHouse: trumpโ€™s name will never be on the Kennedy Center or the Reflecting Pool. The trump arch will not be built. And in two years, Congress and the next Administration will erase trumpโ€™s name and stench from everything he has touched. Ozymandias
Veteran on President Trump's proposed arch: "We reject the vanity, the worship of a single man, over the 400,000 that have earned the right to be remembered; that have earned the right to keep an eye over our nation as they look towards the Lincoln Memorial."

One of the most shameful moments in White House history, presented to the world as a humanitarian achievement. โžก๏ธ Above: Putinโ€™s special envoy, sanctioned by the United States, welcomed and praised. Representing a president wanted by the International Criminal Court for the alleged war crimes of unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children. A transaction sold as humanitarianism. โžก๏ธ Below: three mothers of Oleshky holding photographs of their children with disabilities, abducted by Russia in 2022. Four years later, they are still fighting to bring them home. Ironically, these pictures were taken just one month apart in Washington, DC: the mothers at the Capitol, the oppressor at the White House. At Emile Foundation, we work nonstop alongside these mothers, left to rely on independent organisations. We found their children. We verified their locations. We submitted complete humanitarian case files requesting their return. Instead of an answer, we got this event. They silenced the mothers and gave a platform to the oppressor. In a few days, Iโ€™ll travel to Ukraine to see these mothers again and bring the supplies they need to survive winter: generators, power banks and warm blankets. Russia has destroyed the infrastructure they depend on for electricity and heating. These mothers are trying to stay warm while waiting for children Russia still refuses to return. How much more are we prepared to tolerate? When authoritarian regimes can invade, deport, torture and destroy without effective accountability, impunity becomes an invitation to repeat those crimes. Other leaders are watching. They are learning what the world is prepared to tolerate. We will not stay silent while the truth is buried beneath another PR campaign. We will keep standing alongside these families and demanding their childrenโ€™s return. Please continue to support Emile Foundation and donate. Your support pays for this work and helps us keep these families warm, housed and supported. We can only continue because of you. โ€ผ๏ธPlease share this as widely as possible. People need to know who is being welcomed and praised, and what these families are still being put through. It is appalling.

Stephen Miller was salivating at the opportunity to say โ€œfinal solutionโ€ but barely managed to check himself.
Trumpโ€™s new Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller: Americaโ€™s doors are closed fully to asylum seekers. Itโ€™s a very simple, a very elegant, a veryโ€ฆ complete solution.

** JUST IN ** Trump has announced that Susie Wiles is OUT as White House Chief of Staff starting Monday, to be immediately replaced by Stephen Miller. When you hear many people seemingly overreact to this, keep this in mind: You CAN'T overreact to this. This is ABSOLUTELY an act of defiance, an injured narcissist refusing to be contrite as always, a tone-deaf and colorblind move, one that will harm the GOPs post-election chances for ... anything, probably a move that leads toother WH defections. It would be nice if the GOP, especially the lame ducks, speak up. Miller is and always was a sociopath, since his days in Santa Monica - my hometown. This is the double down of all double downs, which is bad. It's also the overreach of all overreaches, and that part is good.
