Don't use this for work. All opinions are my own.

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

House GOP out here cutting ads for Dems:

NEHLS: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice ribeyes.

MT: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

NEHLS: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.

They have NO IDEA what’s coming in November.

Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.

This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.

Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.

One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."

Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.

The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.

The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.

What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?

One City Might Have Just Cracked the Housing Crisis by @BCAppelbaum

“We think that building housing is part of the solution. We think net zero is part of the solution. We think a car-light development is part of the solution. We think building a sense of place and community is part of the solution. It’s us saying to the world that we want to be part of the solution.”

Never mind city-owned groceries. A plan from Vanderbilt University would expand NYC Health + Hospitals pharmacies to serve New Yorkers on Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance, while shoring up independent drug stores with price discounts.

@BrianLehrer disappointed by all the negativity among progressives. Risks turning people off.

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints

In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints

For this who don’t remember

Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods

That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe

So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers

Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it

The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints

Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after

Common Resident Complaints Being Logged

- Water usage
- Raising utility bills for residents
- Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife.
- E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

ICE pulled a gun on a NY teenager, beat him, and then realized they got the wrong guy. Like other cases targeting citizens, ICE dumped him in a random location far from his home, bloody and injured.

The mainstream media is now confirming we are being robbed at grocery stores and Walmart

Product after product they take off the shelves and weigh is always short

They test Walmart shrimp, bring it to the studio and every bag is half a pound short

This has to be an intentionally large scale scam to defraud Americans at the grocery store

One or two items is a mistake. Every item they pull off the shelves being underweight at specific locations is fraud

And the amount products are underweight isn’t a small amount, it’s a huge amount

We are being robbed blind

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is that guy. This is the thoughtful eloquent answer of someone who actually gives a shit. Now imagine how Trump would've responded to this question. 😳👇
