Israel has continued to attack Lebanon, despite Iran saying it was included in a potential memorandum of understanding with the US. Fresh forced displacement orders were issued on Saturday, following Israeli bombardment throughout Friday night on towns and villages in the south.

My MAGA buddy asked for a list of failures. We're not even two years in: 1. Iran War 2. Cost of living 3. Epstein files 4. Politicizing DOJ 5. Minneapolis 6. Concentration camps 7. Open corruption 8. Kennedy Center/Ballroom 9. Dear Leader bullshit 10. Qatari jumbo jet

The FELON’s name being scrubbed from buildings... and today, add the Kennedy Center to the trump free zone! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST 😎 #DemsUnited

For those like me wondering what the HELL is taking so long & why all the scaffolding at the Kennedy Center? Welp, here’s why. So they can cover the letters coming down. Trump is such a wuss.

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

Both the Trump Administration and Iran say they’re close to a deal. But are they talking about the same deal? Erin breaks down the conflicting messages from both sides.

It was ALL a lie. The real reason USAID was in Africa Former African Union Ambassador to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao: “They're using that open access, sounding humanitarian, to constantly destabilize governments” “We need to understand the real reason why USAID is in Africa, and not just USAID, but other NGOs They are coming in claiming that they're introducing grassroots initiatives that are going to help the people, and so they use that as a way to go into the most remote parts of Africa. When you look at it on paper, it all looks really good, but they're actually wolf in sheep's clothing.” “The American taxpayer needs to know the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID. A fraction is making it to the people” “They're using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments. I can tell you right now, the majority of African leaders, and not just African leaders, but leaders in the developing world are celebrating the exit of USAID. If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, filling in the gaps in healthcare and education, where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?” They laundered our money This isn’t even a conspiracy theory, there are offices White House reports showing the money being sent over “never made it to ground level” Meaning it’s all stolen before it gets to the people it’s meant to help

This broke TODAY — June 10, 2026. From News5Cleveland and the Ohio Capital Journal. Confirmed by the Ohio Farm Bureau. Backed by documents obtained directly from the Ohio Statehouse. And what is being proposed in Columbus right now — quietly, while every eye in America was on Nashville’s 26-1 vote — is the most frightening piece of legislation that Ohio farmers have ever faced. Because if this proposal becomes law — a data center company could take your farmland. Before a court decides what it is worth. Before you receive a single dollar. While construction begins on what used to be your family’s fields. 🌾 WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING PROPOSED — IN PLAIN ENGLISH The Ohio Business Roundtable — a powerful trade group that lobbies at the Statehouse — recommended in a document obtained by News5Cleveland that lawmakers change eminent domain law, and “should extend possession authority to energy infrastructure projects once public use and necessity have been established.”  Eminent domain. That is the legal power that allows governments to take private property for public use. Roads. Schools. Hospitals. Public utilities. Things that serve the public. Now — according to documents obtained directly from the Ohio Statehouse — the Ohio Business Roundtable is pushing to extend that power. To energy infrastructure projects. The same infrastructure that AI data centers need to operate. “We are aware of efforts to further erode the limited protections that landowners have, allowing for quick take of property without first paying for the property and determining a landowner’s rights and compensation through a court of law,” the Ohio Farm Bureau’s Evan Callicoat said.  Quick take. Without first paying for the property. Those four words should terrify every farmer, every landowner, and every property owner in Ohio — and every state watching what Ohio does next. 😤 “FARMERS COULD LOSE THEIR LAND — AND NOT GET PAID FOR MONTHS OR YEARS” Data center companies do not hold the power of eminent domain, but Callicoat says that this version could eventually allow for it. “Many of the services and utilities that they require do hold that authority,” he said. He fears that with this proposed idea, it’s broad enough that farmers could lose their land to data centers, not getting paid for it for months or years.  Months or years. Without payment. While construction begins on your land. Let that sink in. A farmer who has worked the same fields for decades — whose children grew up on that land, whose family cemetery might sit at the edge of those fields — could be forced to watch a data center go up on his property while a court slowly determines what compensation he deserves. Right now, eminent domain law allows for federal, state and local governments to take property for public use. If a court sides with the utility company, deeming it necessary to take, the appraised value of the land is given to a court account. However, the owner can appeal this decision to fight for more money. While this court battle is going on, construction is not allowed to begin.  That last sentence is the critical protection that Ohio farmers currently have. While your court battle is going on — construction cannot begin. Your land cannot be touched until the legal process plays out. The proposal being pushed by the Ohio Business Roundtable would eliminate that protection. Construction could begin while you are still fighting in court. While your family’s land is still legally in dispute. While the compensation for what was taken has not been determined. 🏛️ AND THE OHIO STATEHOUSE IS FIGHTING BACK — BUT THE OUTCOME IS NOT GUARANTEED The Ohio Farm Bureau is not the only voice opposing this. Ohio lawmakers — responding to months of community pressure — are pushing their own legislation in the opposite direction. The measure explicitly bars the use of eminent domain to acquire property for a data center project. “At this point,” Workman said, “we’re just making sure that we preserve farmland and individual property.”  Preserve farmland. Preserve individual property. Those are the exact words of the Ohio lawmaker introducing the protective legislation. The direct opposite of what the Ohio Business Roundtable is pushing for. Two bills. Moving simultaneously through the Ohio Statehouse. One that would protect Ohio farmers from losing their land to data centers. One that could — according to the Ohio Farm Bureau — eventually allow data center infrastructure to take property before compensation is determined. The Ohio Farm Bureau’s 2026 Action Plan specifically calls for leading efforts for additional landowner protections, including eminent domain reform, streamlined judicial procedures, and agricultural easement program enforcement. The bureau also calls for engaging with the Ohio General Assembly on tax incentives that encourage the development of farmland such as data centers, warehouses, and business facilities.  The Ohio Farm Bureau — the organization that represents hundreds of thousands of Ohio farm families — named data centers specifically in its 2026 action plan as a threat to farmland. Not as an abstract concern. As a documented, named, active threat that requires legislative action to address. 📜 AND THE SWEEPING NEW DATA CENTER LEGISLATION INTRODUCED TODAY ADDS ANOTHER LAYER Ohio lawmakers introduced sweeping new data center legislation on June 10, 2026 — the same day that Ohio farmers expressed fears about the eminent domain proposal.  Same day. Two simultaneous legislative battles. Ohio farmers waking up on June 10, 2026 — the same morning Nashville’s council voted 26-1 for a moratorium — to discover that their Statehouse is considering legislation that could give data center infrastructure companies the power to take their land before paying them. This is not a coincidence. This is the pattern that communities from Ohio to Louisiana to Utah to Virginia have been documenting for two years. While communities fight visible battles — petitions, council votes, celebrity Instagram posts — the less visible battles happen inside Statehouse committee rooms. With trade group lobbyists. With documents obtained only because a journalist filed a public records request. 🌍 WHY OHIO IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLEGROUND IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW Ohio is not just any state. It is the state where two Ohio moms told the Washington Post that data centers will be the first thing on their minds when they vote in November. The state where Amazon Web Services broke ground on a campus stretching from a residential playground to a neighborhood elementary school. The state that has been called the Midwest’s fastest-growing data center market. Data centers are Ohio’s newest land use controversy. With concerns ranging from water use to electricity prices to loss of farmland, the rapid onset of data center development has generated many questions and conflicts across the state. In response, members of the Ohio legislature have introduced several bills on data center development.  Several bills. Moving through committee simultaneously. Some protecting farmers. Some potentially threatening them. And a powerful trade group lobby — the Ohio Business Roundtable — pushing for changes that the Ohio Farm Bureau says could amount to allowing quick take of property without first paying the owner. Data center opponents gave Ohio lawmakers an earful at the Statehouse on June 3, 2026. And on June 10 — the same day Nashville voted 26-1 — Ohio farmers found out about the eminent domain proposal. Their reaction was immediate.  🗣️ “THE FARM BUREAU ISN’T OPPOSED TO DATA CENTERS — BUT THEY ARE OPPOSED TO A VIOLATION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS” This is the most important nuance in the entire Ohio story. And it is the nuance that makes it reach across every political divide. The Farm Bureau isn’t opposed to data centers, but they are opposed to a violation of property rights, Callicoat said.  This is not an anti-technology fight. This is not a fight against economic development or job creation or the AI industry. This is a fight about one of the most fundamental rights in American law. The right to own property. The right to not have that property taken before you are paid for it. The right that the Founders wrote into the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution — “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation” — specifically to protect ordinary Americans from exactly this kind of power being exercised against them. Ohio farmers are not fighting data centers. They are fighting the idea that a company — backed by a powerful trade group lobby — can use the legal infrastructure of the state to take their land without compensation while construction begins. That fight — the fight for property rights against corporate power — is not a left fight or a right fight. It is an American fight. Here is what every Ohio landowner, every Ohio farmer, every Ohio property owner needs to understand right now: The Ohio Business Roundtable has filed a document with Ohio Statehouse recommending changes to eminent domain law that — according to the Ohio Farm Bureau — are broad enough that farmers could lose their land to data center infrastructure before being paid for it. That proposal is being considered in Columbus today. While the entire country is watching Nashville. While Erin Brockovich is mapping data center reports from 49 states. While 360,000 people are celebrating a 26-1 council vote in Tennessee. The battle for Ohio farmland is happening right now. In a committee room. With lobbyists. With documents that had to be obtained through public records requests. And the only thing standing between Ohio’s farm families and this proposal becoming law is the Ohio Farm Bureau, a handful of protective bills, and the attention of Ohio voters who are paying attention to what their Statehouse is doing in their name. Are you paying attention? Are you an Ohio farmer or landowner? Did you know this proposal existed before reading this post? Tell us your county. Tell us your reaction. The Ohio Farm Bureau needs to know how many people are watching this fight. The Fifth Amendment was written for exactly this moment. SHARE THIS with every Ohio farmer, every rural landowner, every property rights advocate, every Republican and Democrat who believes that what a man owns cannot be taken from him without fair and immediate compensation. This fight is happening TODAY in Columbus. They need to know. we are covering the Ohio Statehouse data center fight in real time, alongside Nashville, New York, Utah, and every other community and state where the fight for America’s land, water, and property rights is happening simultaneously. Do not let this one get buried while everyone watches Nashville. 📌 SOURCES: News5Cleveland — Ohio Farmers Fear New Proposal Would Allow Data Centers to Take Property (June 10, 2026) Ohio Capital Journal — Ohio Lawmakers Introduce Sweeping New Data Center Legislation (June 10, 2026) Ohio Capital Journal — Data Center Opponents Give Ohio Lawmakers an Earful (June 3, 2026) Ohio Capital Journal — Ohio Lawmakers Begin Hearings on Data Centers (May 29, 2026) Ohio Capital Journal — Ohioans Are Getting Fed Up With Data Centers, State Lawmakers Are Starting to Notice (March 12, 2026) Ohio Farm Bureau — The Ohio Agriculture and Rural Communities 2026 Action Plan (February 19, 2026) Ohio State University Farm Office — What to Do About Data Centers?

GOP Congressman Rob Bresnahan is introducing a bill to restrict companies' ability to sue local governments for rejecting data center applications. The bill would also make developers file a legally binding "community benefit agreement" or lose out on federal tax incentives.

“The moratorium marks a turning point. But it reflects a growing recognition that economic development and public responsibility are not competing goals.” — Op-Ed by Rep. @CaveroforAZ on the Legislature’s historic three-year pause on tax breaks for data centers, approved on Thursday as part of a bipartisan budget. azcapitoltimes.com/news/2026…
