NEW EPISODE: The DOJ has sued 31 states to seize your most sensitive voter data. They've lost every single case so far: nine courts, zero wins. I break down why Trump is building a national voter list the White House controls. https://t.co/CwxxTpCrpc
@IndianaFever Did she study while she was in college because she’s doing a terrible job as team president. She needs to go back for refresher courses -marketing, math, and economics.
@IndianaFever@Ticketmaster Read the room. Your coach has sucked the life out of the team and turned the fan base off. Her toxic won't take any responsibility, and her attitude will cost you all the good sentiment you have gained since drafting CC . How fu*king tone def can you be. Absolute insanity.

Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??
This photo was published of the Prime Minister of Qatar, Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner. What’s the problem? Giving a foreign leader visual access to a USG laptop, while using someone else’s CAC to log in. Pure incompetence at every turn.
In the 1980s, California spent around seventy-four million dollars of public money building the Kern Water Bank, a vast underground reservoir meant to hold water for cities to fall back on in a drought.
Today it largely waters almonds and pistachios for a single billionaire couple.
Stewart and Lynda Resnick own the Wonderful Company, the outfit behind Wonderful Pistachios, POM juice, Halos mandarins and Fiji Water, and the biggest nut growers in the United States.
In 1994, across a few days of closed-door talks on the Monterey Peninsula, that taxpayer-built water bank was quietly moved out of public hands. When the dust settled, a Wonderful subsidiary held a 57 percent controlling stake. The same deal let water be banked, traded and sold like a commodity, and stripped cities of the priority they used to hold in a shortage.
So in a dry year the Resnicks can sell water back to the very public that paid to store it, at a premium.
The rest gets poured onto permanent orchards in the semi-arid western San Joaquin Valley, ground that sits close to desert and survives only on imported water. An almond drinks roughly a gallon apiece, and a nut tree cannot be left fallow when the rain fails the way a field of lettuce can. The thirst is locked in for decades.
None of this happened by accident. The Resnicks have poured millions into politicians of both parties and sit among Gavin Newsom's largest donors.
Water in California is supposed to belong to the public. They worked out that whoever owns the land and the paperwork owns the water, and they bought both.
The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.
Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”
It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.
End Citizens United.

Humanity thrived for years without AI. We can live without it. What we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, and land.
Stop supporting AI. It’s destroying our planet.

Trump's DOJ has killed a criminal investigation into Trump's pardon of David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted in a $1.6 billion fraud scheme.
Gentile had discussed making payments of over $2.5 million to Trump allies to help facilitate the pardon.
Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:
Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track.
Spread the word. Stand up for science.
