Chris Van Hollen Will Challenge Schumer for Majority Leader

Schumer needs to spend the next few weeks showing why he deserves to be leader. Convince the skeptics.

I don't think he will, but that's where the bar is at.

How Republican Efforts to Redraw Congressional Maps 'failed epically'

The fundamental problem the Republicans have:
Poor people lean Democrat.

Republican policies have been impoverishing people in Red States, especially the South, for decades.
Eventually, that's going to cause a demographic shift.
Eventually might have started last Tuesday.

This is probably not a practice run because of the nationwide nature of the NOTAM.

Were the Israelis involved?

Possibly.

Israel wants the US to continue its bankrupting war against the 93m people of Iran.

Recall that the Israelis fed Dummkopf Trumpf a false threat about Iran targeting AF1 with a MANPADS in super-secure Ankara at the NATO Summit.

Every counterintelligence agent and threat analyst on the planet would have known that the Iranians would never dishonor their neighbor and trading partner Turkiye with such a brazen scheme on their soil.

But Dummkopf Trumpf and Tulsi "I'm not in a cult" Gabbard culled the USIC of its experts and so the WH fell for Bibi's trap, forcing the poltroon to hide in a hot dog cart when he left Ankara.

Congress Considers New $130 Annual Fee for Electric Vehicles

Tire tax makes more sense to me. Everyone buys tires. The more you drive, the more you need tires, the more you pay. EVs are heavier so they'd pay a bit more.

With something like 75% of ocean microplastics being tires, I think a hefty tire tax is long overdue.

Trumpism Is Failing Because It Is Very, Very Stupid

"Trumpism is not a protest against how the world works." Matt Ford writes.

It is a rejection of the very concept of knowing how the world works. Ignorance is a virtue, and knowledge is a vice. All that matters is what Trump thinks, regardless of whether it can be independently verified or held accountable. By electing Trump, many of his movement's adherents hoped to prove that their lack of expertise was as good as any credential that some liberal egghead could obtain from a woke, biased university.

Now we are living through their dreams come true.

Witkoff and Kushner Get Played Yet Again in Abu Dhabi

Scott Bessent is the worst Treasury Secretary in the past 100 years. Being killed would not be a great loss to this country.

The question remains: if Bessent had to move to a 'military base' for his safety, then why cannot this country's law enforcement mechanism protect a high government official, in that official's home or at his office? While thinking of an answer to that query, here's another: if in fear of his safety, why would Bessent travel to New York City for an event and speech earlier this week? Shouldn't he be in hiding?

What probably happened is some bond trader showed up at his house and chalked nasty words on the sidewalk, and Miss Scotti got nervous...

Witkoff and Kushner Get Played Yet Again in Abu Dhabi

"Putin's need to co-opt Kyiv's history as Russia's own was necessary to argue that Ukraine is Russia. That said, it is important to understand that Putin's contrived Russian history lessons are simply a smokescreen.

Putin's war against Ukraine is in reality a war against the West and against NATO in particular. NATO, as currently constituted, is the biggest obstacle preventing Putin from reconstituting the Warsaw Pact.

Under the guise of peace talks, Abu Dhabi gave Putin an opening to attack NATO and the 32 member states that comprise the defensive pact that has kept the peace in Western Europe since the end of World War II.

Foolishly, Witkoff and Kushner fell into Putin's trap when they strong-armed European NATO allies into agreeing to discuss Europe's security architecture after the end of the war in Ukraine. That is, of course, code for NATO.

In other words, Witkoff and Kushner put NATO's future on the negotiating table " in effect agreeing to give Russia a say in what it looks like."

;;
Much more in the article, including a swift debunking of Putin's fake claims on Ukraine.

The article starts with, "Unwittingly or not", which clearly points to the lack of any real concern at all for either NATO or Ukraine on Trump's part... he's always on the side of the Dictator in Question.

Where Rising Energy Costs from AI Data Centers Land Hardest

More from the article ...

... Higher wholesale prices had a downstream effect on energy consumers, the researchers said, as residential customers paid huge fractions of the spending on transmission built for data centers.

The study found that spending across the four power grids jumped from $2 billion in 2020 to $34.2 billion in 2025, with data centers responsible for $8.25 billion of energy infrastructure costs last year.

Residential users were responsible for just under $3.5 billion, but they were billed more than $16 billion while data centers were billed about $3 billion.

Researchers said that antiquated formulas used to allocate energy costs along a power grid have historically divided those costs based on previous energy consumption, rather than new growth. That means households take on much of the costs for developing new power infrastructure.

"It's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem," said Fengqi You, one of the study's authors, in a statement. "Because if you're going to build a data center, you need to expand this power infrastructure. Otherwise, there's no electricity for them to run. But before they build, they're not using energy."

Residents of rural and lower-income areas saw their bills skyrocket, and in some cases faced increases in energy costs that were 76% larger than residents of urban communities, according to the study.

The researchers said that despite the concentration of data centers near metropolitan hubs, the financial loads they trigger often seep into surrounding suburban and rural areas because of policies that govern how energy costs are shared across regions. They argued that such policies warrant review. ...
