what a complete fucking collapse
Drama on the House floor: Republicans don’t have the votes to pass the rule to bring up the NDAA. Currently five GOP NOs. Leadership is holding the vote open while they figure out what to do.

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.
AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.
So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

This comes after Trump made deep cuts to the IRS.
DOJ agents were reportedly also told not to prioritize tax prosecutions.
