  5. He’s full of bogus campaign promises…Trump says the war in Iran will end after Election Day - again, if you believe this, after all his lies, your gullibility index is off the charts. Just look at the facts: #Trump originally stated the war would be over in “days”; he said we’d destroyed Iran’s military; that we control the Strait of Hormuz. All lies, belied by facts on the ground. If anything, #Iran has absorbed American attacks and has so far prevailed in this conflict - holding the global economy hostage. Instead of ‘regime change’, our attack on Iran has only solidified the power of the hardline factions and the military. Anything Trump says about the #IranWar and the #MiddleEast should be taken with a grain of sand. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-elec #elections #elections2026 #2026Elections #USPol #USPolitics

  10. Hmmmm... Something both the right and left can agree on! 🤖

    ‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

    “If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

    Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

    "A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

    "The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

    "Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."

  11. The #AI boom is gobbling up power faster than ever

    By Hannah Beckler, June 7, 2026

    Excerpt: "The data center boom is accelerating.

    "A Business Insider analysis of US data center permits reveals a staggering escalation in data center power use. Data centers across the US are growing in number and in size. If all data centers permitted through 2025 come online, they will use between 224.3 terawatt-hours and 358.8 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, an increase of 50% over the previous year across the range, Business Insider's analysis found.

    "At the midpoint, that's more than all the #electricity used by any one US state in 2024, except Texas.

    "The vast majority of this power use is driven by #hyperscale data centers, mammoth facilities that use 40 megawatts or more each, Business Insider estimates.

    "#TechGiants have an insatiable appetite for more computing power to fund their AI ambitions. In 2025, permits were issued for 176 new data centers across 34 states — the most new permits in one year since the first was issued in 1976, Business Insider found. Many of them are mammoth facilities destined for rural areas — enormous complexes blanketing #prairies, #GreenSpaces, and #farmland.

    "#AmazonCorp's planned 14-building data center complex in #RidgelandMS, would transform nearly 800 acres of rural #woodland. In the village of #MountPleasantWI, Microsoft's nine data center buildings would command a collective footprint of over 5.2 million square feet built on a property nearly the size of New York City's Central Park, according to planning documents. And just outside #EagleMountainOT, #QTS — one of the nation's biggest data center operators — is building one that is expected to demand between 1.9 and 3 terawatt-hours a year once fully online, according to Business Insider's estimate. On average, that's the same amount of electricity used by 227,000 US homes.

    "The race by tech companies to reach ever-greater AI ambitions has sparked a sweeping backlash from local residents and state and local officials wary of #Datacenter impacts on the #environment, economy, and #communities. And development-friendly lawmakers could face a reckoning in this year's #midterms, in which data centers are emerging as a key issue for many voters."

  12. #IndianCountry Cannot Afford to Sit Out #PeggyFlanagan’s #USSenate Race

    by Levi Rickert June 1, 2026

    Excerpt: "Flanagan has become one of the nation’s most prominent Native elected officials since becoming Minnesota’s lieutenant governor in 2019. Throughout her tenure, she has frequently highlighted the importance of tribal consultation, #IndigenousEducation, missing and murdered Indigenous relatives initiatives, and investments in #NativeCommunities."

  13. Dems in #Maine’s #2ndDistrict race tackle #tribal topics in #PresqueIsleME

    By Cameron Levasseur, May 13, 2026

    "The four Democrats competing in a June primary to face former Gov. #PaulLePage for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District met Wednesday night in Presque Isle at a forum put on by the #WabanakiAlliance to discuss tribal sovereignty and other issues facing the state’s native population.

    "Hosted by the #MikmaqNation, one of Maine’s four #WabanakiNations, the event lasted two hours and covered a broad range of topics, from #WaterRights to gaming legislation to the teaching of #NativeHistory in Maine’s schools.

    "The candidates — State Auditor #MattDunlap, state Sen. #JoeBaldacci, former political operative #JordanWood and social worker #PaigeLoud — agreed on nearly everything, chiefly in their wholehearted support of #TribalSovereignty.

    "#Sovereignty has dominated the political conversation around Maine’s tribes for years, with majority support for its expansion in the state legislature countered by opposition from the state’s executive leaders, including LePage and then Gov. #JanetMills.

    " 'Only when I worked on these issues federally … did I understand how wrong Maine has been to its tribes and the need to rectify that #injustice,' Wood said.
    If elected, all four said they would reintroduce a 2022 bill put forth by U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, to amend the #MaineIndianClaimsSettlementAct of 1980 and give the Wabanaki the same rights under federal law as the 570 #FederallyRecognizedTribes.

    "Golden currently represents the 2nd District but abruptly announced last fall that he would not seek reelection. His bill failed in the Senate after it was blocked by Sen. #AngusKing, another Maine politician who has expressed skepticism at tribal rights expansions."

  18. ❝ What the Voting Rights Act produced – not just officeholders but the constituency-mapping that allowed Black political coalitions to cohere – is precisely what Republicans are now undoing.

    They have a roadmap. In 1913, Woodrow Wilson’s administration resegregated the federal civil service that Reconstruction had pried open. They did it by executive action and administrative memo. ❞
