Being a NY resident and having Schumer and Gillibrand routinely sell us out makes us mad. Suozzi is also a sell out.

i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts
Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

Suozzi voted for ICE funding last week and issued a preening self-congratulatory press release afterwards bragging about bucking the Dem Party on the vote. FAFO.

People laughed when JD Vance and Trump viciously lied about Haitians in Springfield eating pets. It wasn’t a joke. Springfield, Ohio is the target of Stephen Miller’s next pogrom.
Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign.

The people that have to speak to Trump will probably never get over that feeling of evil they had while having to interact with him. Also thinking that this man has to be the dumbest man on the fcking planet.
