It would be about time…

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

What a week! An avalanche of econ news. Too much to keep track of So we're something new. A new show, reviewing the week that was. @svaneksmith.bsky.social joins me to sort out the stories that mattered, those you can ignore, and where there's room for a bit of hope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SiC...

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

Marco Rubio: "Steve and Jared and working on the diplomatic path very hard" (Would be nice if we had a secretary of state ... )

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

Have you noticed that no one on this list, or any other Epstein list, has filed any lawsuits for defamation? I wonder why?

No lies detected!!

Epstein's suicide note has been sealed in a NYC courthouse for 7 years. His cellmate found it in a graphic novel. Federal investigators never saw it. Documents were shredded outside the jail during the active investigation. The NYT is petitioning to unseal it. Watch this.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 😡

New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

MADELEINE DEAN: Why did you lie to the New York Post about your relationship with Epstein? LUTNICK: The House Oversight Committee and I agreed-- DEAN: Reclaiming my time. I do not accept that answer. We are our own committee. You're dodging the question. The coverup continues.

The “Last Word” host began by noting that the MAGA leader has delivered “nothing” for the American people except “higher prices on everything.”

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED, NEIL.......

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

This is a senator L. Louise Lucas appreciation post

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving. TINA SMITH: The reality is there was almost 0 job growth in 2025. That looks to me like not a roaring economy, but a weak economy.

Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me: 1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate? 2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

BREAKING: 86% of all people support the release of the Epstein files, per WaPo poll.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

This is a war based on lies

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Release the #EpsteinFiles NOW.... #Iran #Epstein

The Trump Admin paid a company $1 billion to cancel its offshore wind leases. They cited “national security” + “environmental” concerns. Literally days later, they removed a critical endangered species protection to allow unfettered drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Just mindboggling hypocrisy.

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican. Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Yes, when you are finally out of office, you incompetent and ridiculously stupid buffoon.

A tale of two Americans: The Pope speaks out against Russian atrocities. The president says nothing (and even worse, relaxes sanctions on Russia while ending aid to Ukraine).
