Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity, and as we all learned, when supply is reduced, prices go up. They also require vast amounts of water, yet many are being proposed in drought-stricken areas where residents are already being told to conserve.

At this point, they're literally treating AI better than human beings, with many in fear it will ultimately be used against us. In either case, Chris Wright is lying.

Remember yesterday when Trump said we would charge 20% tolls in the Strait of Hormuz?

Yeah, that’s already changed.

Now he says gulf states are going to “invest” in the US instead.

(That’s not going to happen either, btw.)

The most likely reason for this is that the “new” ex-Qatari jet doesn’t have the self-defense capabilities needed when flying from Turkey while in a shooting war with Iran.

The actual VC-25 aircraft does have those capabilities.

Not only is that not Chabahar, that happened in 2025.

Well, that sucked.

Some celebrate with a party, some celebrate with fireworks, this pilot is celebrating America’s semiquincentennial with a very special flight. #America250

I can only believe that Iran will do everything in its power to re-arm and solidify its capabilities with regard to the Strait of Hormuz, backed with the lessons it gained from the conflict.

The AMC loadmasters hearing all the things they packed the last few weeks to CENTCOM might be going back home soon

He never stops. No matter where he is.

And it’s never acceptable.

He’s the Acting Secretary of Culture War. That’s his mission. Above all else.

There are vital lines that separate our troops from religion and politics. Lines that ensure their independence, integrity, professionalism, trust, unity and strength.

And he’s smashed all of them.

More and more by the day.

He’s making our military weaker, more distracted, more homogenous, and more radical.

The damage will take decades to repair.

And our enemies are celebrating.🚨🇺🇸

Ukraine needs patriot interceptors in exchange for their drone interceptors.

UKraine is now the heavyweight of Europe, the sooner they defeat Russia, the sooner all western militaries can focus on modernizing with their help.

They have the cards for future war

[WarMonitor @TheWarMonitor]

So Iran still has its nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz remains under Iranian control, at least 13 U.S. troops are dead, and Americans can expect to keep paying higher prices for the foreseeable future... and that doesn’t even include the credibility lost on the world stage.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

@Aviation_Intel JFC, what morons.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I think apologizing, owning mistakes, and explaining how you plan to do better are generally positive qualities. And something Trump has absolutely never done.

The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England
