🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!

She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!

Last night, the House chose to stand with Ukraine, and I was proud to cast my vote.

We passed military and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, plus hard new sanctions on Russia.

We did it over the objections of Mike Johnson and Republican leadership, who spent over a year trying to keep this bill from ever hitting the floor.

Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle and did the right thing.

Why does this matter?

Because when a giant authoritarian state invades a smaller democracy, there is no gray area. There is no “both sides.”

Vladimir Putin is a thug. He started an unprovoked war. He flattened cities. He stole children from their families. Helping Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s the test of whether we still mean a single word we say about freedom.

I heard every excuse. The war’s winding down, they said, so let’s wait and see. Nonsense. You don’t strengthen a democracy by going wobbly the second things get hard. You don’t stop the next invasion by telling the world American resolve comes with an expiration date. Putin is watching. So is every dictator who dreams of taking what isn’t his by force.

This bill still has to clear the Senate and survive a presidential signature. The odds are long. But the House did its job. And we said it plainly: no country gets swallowed whole just because a tyrant wants it.

I’ll keep fighting to see this through. Ukraine’s fight is our fight, and we do not abandon our friends.

This is a pattern. The predator culture permeating MAGA comes from the very top.

Keep posting this so nobody forgets that this was one of the worst events in American history.

Never has a sitting president encouraged his supporters to believe a lie so deeply that they’d be willing to attack or democracy.

Renée Good was 37.

A mother.

A wife.

A human being.

After she was shot, a voice on the recording can be heard saying, “fucking bitch.” Multiple news organizations have reported hearing the remark.

You can debate immigration policy all day long.

But look at her family and tell me:

Is this justice?

Rep. Nancy Mace says Trump didn’t endorse her in South Carolina’s gubernatorial race because she pushed for the release of the Epstein files.

Just a reminder: Trump’s DOJ still hasn’t released all the Epstein files

Marco Rubio: “I have never seen Trump fall asleep.”

White House: “He’s blinking.”

Fox News: “He’s resting his eyes.”

Normal People: “THAT’S CALLED SLEEPING, YOU FUCKING PARASITES OF THE PRESIDENTIAL COLON SOCIETY.”

Florida paid a portable toilet company called Doodie Calls more than $92 million over six months to haul wastewater out of the Everglades. The state projected it would pay Doodie Calls $480 million over two years. For comparison, building a sewage treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.

That is one vendor. At one facility. Built in eight days on an Everglades airstrip using hurricane disaster funds because Ron DeSantis declared immigration a state of emergency in 2023 to access a $5 billion fund set aside for floods and hurricanes.

The facility costs between $1.2 million and $3 million per day to operate. A conservative estimate puts the annual per-capita cost at $500,000 per detainee. Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison. The math on Alligator Alcatraz is not tougher than a prison. It is more than sixteen times more expensive.

Three quarters of the men held there have never been convicted of a crime. They are awaiting civil immigration proceedings. They are being held in kennels - cages with steel mesh sides, 16 bunks, three toilets, brightly lit 24 hours a day. Amnesty International documented what it called deliberate neglect designed to dehumanize, including credible allegations of men held in stress positions in direct sunlight without food or water for hours at a time.

Governor Braun opened the Speedway Slammer at an Indiana prison. The Cornhusker Clink in Nebraska. The Louisiana Lockup at Angola. The naming contest is ongoing. The cruelty is the point. The cost is someone else's problem. Florida's emergency fund has dwindled to $200 million. The facility cannot run to the end of the year.

The men in the cages are still there.

BOOM! Jamie Raskin is UNSTOPPABLE: Constitutional scholar, lawyer, and competent congressman Jamie Raskin is looking healthier and more energized than ever.

He just drew a moral line on the House floor that the GOP can't cross: "We draw a line against the rape and sexual violation of children."

He named the banks that bankrolled Epstein's billion-dollar trafficking ring: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon.

He named Alex Acosta—Trump's Labor Secretary—who killed the investigation that could've brought down the entire network. He looked directly at the GOP and said: "You have children. Don't you want to know?" Then he mentioned college sports teams. You know who that is.

Jim Jordan—who had a locker two down from Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, whom wrestlers say looked them in the face and dismissed their abuse as "that's just Strauss," and who they say KNEW and did NOTHING while 177 young men were violated.

And the files? They show Elon Musk emailing Epstein asking about the "wildest party" on his island and responding to Epstein's offer of "no one over 25 and all very cute." JPMorgan lawsuits allege Epstein referred to Musk as a client WHILE moving billions for his trafficking operation.

This isn't about party. This is about truth.

Conservatives: You scream about "protecting children" while voting for the men who covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history.

How do you sleep? How do you vote? How do you look your kids in the eye?

@JoJoFromJerz To be fair, listening to that dude would put me to sleep too

🚨 Republican Ken Paxton has been reported to the FBI eight times.

Each time by his own senior staff.

Now we know why trump still hasn’t been able to open the Straight of Hormuz.

It’s because, in the cognitively impaired mind of trump, Iran cleverly has the only Schrödinger military in the world: it exists and it doesn’t exist all at the same time.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son quietly landed a political appointee job as a lawyer in the Treasury Department early last year — posing a potential conflict of interest as courts wrestle with challenges to Trump's deal to avoid future tax audits and the new massive slush fund meant to enrich his allies.
