"Child care is public infrastructure that makes our communities and businesses flourish." Exactly right @warren.senate.gov.
Data centers must be held responsible for rising electricity costs and the environmental impact on local communities.
@ambpressman.bsky.social: Under Viktor Orbán's authoritarian rule, the cost of a democratic vote was "extremely high"—reminiscent of developments we're now seeing under the Trump administration.
All eyes on Hawaii: The state is one step closer to getting corporate and dark money out of politics—and further than any other state has gone toward making Citizens United v. FEC irrelevant. Watch this space for updates.

Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.

Jack Smith had enough evidence to convict Trump of selling and mismanaging US most important secretes at Ma-ra-lago. Now we are seeing that trump handed those secretes to Putin who is using it to help Iran kill Americans. US blood is on the hands of the 5 corrupt SCOTUS who gave him immunity.
