Bernie Moreno has introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship, in the latest attempt by the right to attack immigrants and tighten the rules around citizenship. The bill makes the sweeping assertion that people with foreign citizenships may have “divided loyalties.”
Republican Files Bill to Eliminate Dual Citizenship, Force Renunciations

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.
