The Trump administration is not going to set nationwide environmental requirements for data centers, according to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin. "EPA is not the party that is negotiating and or mediating or refereeing that deal," Zeldin told Politico.

The White House cover up of the Epstein Files is the most egregious, disturbing and corrupt in American history. It’s criminal. Read this stunning new reporting from the @nytimes ⬇️ nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magaz…

There is only one mayoral candidate who is being supported by dark money: @kenyanmcduffie. Where did that $650k come from? Was it Republicans? Well-connected insiders? People who benefited from the Intralot scam? We'll never know. That's the problem with dark money.
BIG MONEY: Pro-@kenyanmcduffie independent expenditure group @PeopleForDC has raised $827k and spent $813k so far on anti-@Janeese4DC mailers and ads. Most of its funding ($650k) comes from dark money group @AUDCRESEARCH. $100k from realtors group. Also: Nats owner, developers.

We are not going to get ICE off our streets or protect Home Rule by fearing this President. Threatening DC because you do not like how our residents vote is an attack on democracy itself. The people of DC elect the Mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Trump.
Q: Here in Washington DC, there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign focusing on socialist policies. How would you feel if she wins? TRUMP: Maybe we take back Washington and run it on a federal basis. We won't put up with it.

After eight days of powerful programming, our museum dedicated to the human toll of climate change has been forced to close early, shut out by preparations for Trump’s birthday celebration on the National Mall, just as a new heatwave bears down on DC. actonclimate.com/post/cacs-m…

The Nashville Zoo has launched a public campaign to block construction of a proposed 69,000-square-foot AI data center that would sit directly adjacent to habitats for endangered animals, including vulnerable clouded leopards. Zoo officials warn that the facility’s constant noise, bright artificial lighting, and electrical hum could seriously disrupt animal behavior, stress levels, and long-established breeding programs. The zoo is home to more than 3,700 animals representing over 350 species and maintains one of the most important collections of rare and endangered wildlife in the United States. This conflict highlights a growing backlash against the rapid expansion of data centers driven by the AI boom. These facilities require massive amounts of electricity and operate 24 hours a day, prompting communities nationwide to raise concerns about energy consumption, water use, noise pollution, and environmental impacts. Wildlife conservation groups are now joining the resistance. More than 180,000 people have already signed a petition opposing the project. The developer behind the data center states that it will use waterless cooling systems, meet all local noise regulations, and comply with environmental standards. However, zoo leaders argue that the location itself, immediately next to sensitive animal habitats, makes the project unacceptable regardless of technical mitigations. The dispute underscores a broader challenge of the AI era: how to build the vast digital infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence without placing undue pressure on local communities, ecosystems, and wildlife.

My god. Sickeningly unethical. Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon: “Can we make the protesters look more violent? […] The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”
This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

I’m leaving the Capitol now at 530am after 19 hrs of votes where Senate Republicans passed $70B for ICE/CBP with no accountability after killings of Alex Pretti/Renee Good and no reforms after chaos at Delaney Hall. Zero dollars to help your family pay bills and high gas prices.

Yup, even the zoos are opposing data centers. That’s how bad it’s getting
Stand with us to protect the future of Nashville Zoo. A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned next to the Zoo, but no environmental impact studies have been conducted. Sign our petition to help protect the animals in our care ➡️ c.org/KxhXznzBcD

Corruption. Getting tired of typing the word
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

When @SegravesNBC4 asked in Thursday's debate, @Janeese4DC said she’d fire @dcwater head David Gadis over the sewage spill. @kenyanmcduffie said he didn’t know if he would. Gadis was fired the next day. But we already knew which candidate holds utility executives accountable.
Multiple sources tell @nbcwashington the board of @dcwater voted to separate David Gadis as CEO of the water utility. The vote was 8 in favor 3 “present” Gadis has come under fire for his handling of the massive sewage spill into Potomac River

In February, Rep. Thomas Massie read Attorney General Pam Bondi a line from the Epstein files. Leslie Wexner, he said, is listed in them as a co-conspirator. Not to tax evasion. To child sex trafficking. Nobody has been charged.

At least 40 minors gave sworn statements to the FBI that Jeffrey Epstein raped and trafficked them. The line prosecutor wrote an 82-page memo recommending charges. Alex Acosta declined and signed a non-prosecution deal. He was later confirmed as Labor Secretary.

I'm demanding information from ICE on what happened in Danbury today. Contrary to their statement, ICE is not targeting criminals - they are targeting peaceful, law abiding immigrants. In Connecticut and everywhere else. They are a lawless agency. ctinsider.com/news/article/i…

Some members of Congress are attempting to overturn DC law. This is about public safety and transparency, trying to cover up violent crime by masked federal agents in DC against unarmed people. This is possible because of DC’s lack of Home Rule, that is what we must work to change. I’m going to keep fighting this now, and will continue this fight as your Delegate on Capitol Hill. #JoinRobertWhite

DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at USDA helps prevent threats like screwworm from ever reaching US livestock. In 2025, it lost 1,300 employees due to cuts and firings. That’s the thing about prevention: you don’t notice it when it works, only when it is gone.
