The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

The White House's push for data centers to build their own power plants is an almost perfect distillation of their preference for wealth inequality and historical / technical ignorance. Brief thread: www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump’s energy moves rattle electric utilities
The administration's push for data centers to source their own power is seen by some as a threat to utilities' business model.

This is really important. I was recently talking to folks in Chicago who said that much as they fear ICE detaining children without due process, they worry even more that child traffickers will don their same masks and do even worse.
Lots of folks talking about this. This was one of the most heavily discussed parts of the TRO request, and I covered some of that on Monday.
tl;dr: Read Law Dork; be informed.

Opinion | What we’ll lose if bird banding ends
Scientists have tagged birds for more than 100 years. That preservation program might be defunded.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
