Via Kyle Griffin:

President #Biden is traveling to Racine County, Wisconsin today to unveil a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft to build an AI data center in the state.

This is the same location where, seven years ago, #Trump touted a $10 billion Foxconn facility as the "eighth wonder of the world."
That facility never fully materialized.

400 Rich People Pay $40K to Hear Trump Glorify Cop Assailants - emptywheel

If 400 rich people paid $40,000 to watch Trump glorify political violence and the NYT and WaPo omitted all mention to that violence, did it really happen?

Changing the laws of Florida does not change the laws of physics. No matter what DeSantis & Co may tell you to the contrary. And when they are gone, Floridians will be left holding the bag. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/climate-change-could-virtually-disappear-in-florida-at-least-according-to-state-law-3/

Climate change could virtually disappear in Florida, at least according to state law

Florida is on the verge of repealing what's left of a 16-year-old law that puts climate change as a priority when making energy policy decisions.

Opinion | This Whole King Trump Thing Is Getting Awfully Literal

The former president’s claim that he has absolute immunity for criminal acts taken in office as president is an insult to reason.

Opinion | The Supreme Court Should Not Come Between Trump and Voters

The court’s delay may have stripped citizens of the criminal justice system’s most effective mechanism for determining disputed facts: a trial.

One of the richest men alive and an essential US Defense industry contractor is literally in business with Nazis. Imagine if the Republicans in Congress focused on that with the same furor they apply to college students having opinions.
