Data centers will be THE political issue in many key races around the country over the next several years & Dems need to get all over it because this is a grass roots issue that transcends party. Want to get back in the game in rural America? This is how. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Just when I think I can’t be anymore horrified by these brutes
Stephen Miller: "What the president said is true. The United States of America is running Venezuela ... by definition we are in charge because we have the US military stationed outside the country. We set the terms and conditions ... for them to do commerce, they need our permission."

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced this morning that he is retiring rather than seeking a third term, reversing an earlier decision.
Walz signed multiple landmark criminal justice and voting rights reforms into law, and Bolts covered them along the years.

2026 is now upon us.
Never, ever, ever expect respect. But never accept disrespect. The moment you start over explaining, your life gets quieter. Softness without self-respect is just compliance. High standards will feel lonely before they feel normal.

I don’t think Republicans are ready for what is coming—both at home and abroad.
They are going to plead innocence when their personal reputations truly begin to suffer, but they cannot be allowed to escape responsibility for what is happening.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
