Are there pipelines connecting to this energy hub or is it just storage? Is it feasible to move it to Eastern Oregon where it wouldn’t be impacted by earthquakes?

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

If you get your health care through Georgia Access, log on today to check your monthly payment for next year.

A million Georgians will see that their health care premiums have doubled.

The Republican funding bill allows this. I won’t stand for it.

Would love it if you could post more of your interviews with ICE victims here, like you do on Instagram. Thanks for your journalism. It’s great having people on the ground sharing their experiences.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This article is hilarious. How much more can the author kiss Weiss’ ass? Everyone knows that Weiss doesn’t do journalism; she does propaganda. Yet, she will increase CBS news ratings as there are a lot of old people who like to absorb biased information which aligns with their worldview.

At least there will be a primary. I’m really curious to see how Democrats in Maine respond to the choice between a status quo Dem and a change candidate.

"Spend a Week with M.E." 10-minute video

From the October 2025 AMMES Newsletter

#MEcfs #CFS #PwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome
"Spend a Week with M.E." recorded April 28-May 2, 2025 My name is Evan Erickson, and I was just a thriving college music student a year ago. Now living with severe ME/CFS, I crafted this advocacy video to create a clearer visual identity for this underfunded, under-researched, and complicated disease. Help launch Gifts for M.E., my new charity to provide tools like eye masks and noise-cancelling headphones to isolated ME/CFS patients in need. Gifts for M.E. is fiscally sponsored by MECFS Clinic MN, a 501(c)(c3) volunteer-run nonprofit treating ME/CFS and Long COVID patients at no cost. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Learn more - https://www.giftsforme.org

If I was in a state that used Dominion Voting machines, I’d be lobbying my politicians to create some oversight or change contractors.

Yikes?

Reporters: I hope you are digging into this hard.

I can imagine this meaning they are trying to rebuild trust among Republicans (which would be great!). I can also imagine much more worrisome possibilities.

So dominion voting got sold, look at this fascinating statement from their new owner (not to doom but this is, uh, suboptimal). www.dominionvoting.com
(Dominion voting website now redirecting to libertyvote.com with the following statement:) Our Promise. - My Fellow Americans, Today, I am proud to announce Liberty Vote - a 100% American-owned election technology company dedicated to restoring trust in our elections. Our mission is clear: every vote must be secure, fair, and verifiable. I have spent my life working to strengthen America's elections. That commitment began years ago, in the aftermath of the 2000 election, when I worked for the Missouri Secretary of State. Later, as Election Director in St. Louis, I led the effort to modernize outdated systems and rebuild public trust. Eventually, I founded an election technology company that today serves nearly one in four voters nationwide. With Liberty Vote, we are building on that legacy. We are turning the page and beginning the vital work of restoring faith in American elections. While these changes will not happen overnight, Liberty Vote's mission is rooted in American values and committed to transparency, independent audits, and verifiable paper records. Our purpose is simple: to ensure that America's elections are secure, fair, and honest. Scott Leiendecker Founder and Chairman, Liberty Vote

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.
