Every act of this Whitehouse is either bizarre, against decency, or plainly illegal.
Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists
She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum
They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.

Seems nuts until you realize their goal is to crater the health care system. It’s a feature, not a bug.

The CDC has not addressed this and is largely pretending it isn’t happening. Meanwhile they’re taking steps to actively reduce vaccination rates.
Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

@vanhollen.senate.gov is correct.
Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.
The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.
