American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The clear takeaway from Energy Analyst Mike Jacobs' study of data center transmission costs from earlier this fall is that data centers should pay for their grid connections—but instead, they’re passing them onto you. Total costs shifted to consumers in '24 was at least $4.3B in just 7 states.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Gavin Newsom, le gouverneur démocrate de Californie, a réussi à faire passer la proposition 50, visant à redonner cinq sièges à son parti à la Chambre des représentants, pour compenser ceux qui lui ont été soustraits au Texas, sur ordre de Donald Trump. Un enjeu crucial en vue des élections de mi-mandat de 2026.
