Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.

Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

INCREDIBLE!

Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.

Congrats!!

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:

1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%

For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

ICE brutally detain U.S. citizen mother—leave 2 little kids in backseat.

Agents grab her by hair and tackle her face first to street—handcuff her behind back.

"I was shouting: I'm a citizen! I have my children in the car—9 year old girl and 1 year old boy!"

She was held hours before being released—despite proving she was a U.S. citizen.

ICE claims that she assaulted an agent first.

"I never assaulted anyone—my intention was to exercise my constitutional rights and request the arrest warrant."

Her husband was released a week later after an emergency habeas corpus petition was filed.

Incident occurred in Asbury Park, New Jersey. #DemsUnited

I can't believe we're even having this conversation: In the last ten years, NOBODY has engaged in more violent political rhetoric than Donald Trump.

For over 10 years every major LOTTERY jackpot across America was RIGGED by the one man hired to make sure it wasn't.

> Eddie Tipton was the director of information security at the Multi State Lottery Association.

> His job was to protect the random number generators that decided who won jackpots across nearly three dozen states.

> He rigged them instead.

> Eddie entered the fortified Drawing Room alone and disabled the cameras to record one second per minute. 59 seconds of every minute were invisible.

> He inserted a memory stick that loaded self deleting software into the random number generator.

> The software produced winning numbers on three specific days of the year that only he knew in advance.

> His brother Tommy, a sitting Texas justice of the peace, won $568,990 in Colorado.

> Associates collected jackpots in Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma.

> Tipton himself bought a $14.3 MILLION ticket at a Des Moines convenience store wearing a hoodie and walked out.

> He forgot about the security camera above the counter.

> The ticket sat unclaimed for nearly a year because nobody could figure out how to collect it without being identified.

> They tried claiming it through an anonymous offshore trust in Belize. Iowa rejected it. Winners must be identified by law.

> The Iowa Lottery released the grainy convenience store footage publicly, hoping someone would recognize the man in the hoodie.

> An employee at the Maine Lottery recognized the voice immediately.

> It was Eddie. The man who had spent a week auditing their security a few years earlier.

> A web developer at the Iowa Lottery recognized it too. She had worked alongside him for years.

> 5 states. Multiple rigged jackpots stretching back to 2005. The largest lottery fraud in US history.

> Sentenced to 25 years. Served 4 and a half. Paroled quietly in January 2022.

> His brother Tommy got 75 days.

Every time you bought a lottery ticket on those specific days and lost, the man protecting the numbers already knew who was going to win.

@AP Better headline:

This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like:

Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit.

Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

MERKLEY: You didn't include deficit numbers in the budget. Why not?

VOUGHT: We didn't want to confuse the country.

MERKLEY: The deficit can be extracted if you do the math—it's $2.2 TRILLION in 2027. Perhaps you didn't include it because you didn't want to draw attention to it.

The White House Press Secretary falsely claims gas prices have fallen over the past year.

On this day in 2025, the National average price was $3.17.

Today, the national average is $4.12.

The day Joe Biden left office, the national average was $3.08.
