Just so we're clear, the DOJ is fighting AGAINST the California redistricting effort WHICH VOTERS APPROVED, but is fine with the Texas redistricting that occurred WITHOUT voter input.
The corruption is real folks.

That prices are down, while all your bills are going up.
That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices.

So student newspapers have done great work, and the name of the economist Summers harassed is in the emails (because he forwarded them to Epstein), and yet The Harvard Crimson didn’t need to name her.
Because most people won’t read all the emails and many people are reading the Crimson.

Grocery store clerks keep putting fake prices on food
Rep. Keith Self on Newsmax: "If you saw Fox News just recently, groceries, gas, inflation in general is down under President Trump. Now, the mainstream media won't tell you that. But those are the actual numbers. We just have to get the American people understanding."

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data
At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->
