My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

Americans are getting ready to vote, and we are angry. Donald Trump thinks that he can buy our votes. He told us if Republicans win, he will cut us $5,000 checks. His poll numbers went down. Now he’s trying to buy our votes with Russian oil. My latest:

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

“America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine…Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine.” — Mike Pence I briefed him as Vice President. He’s right. Lifting sanctions doesn’t buy peace. It funds the war. Slava Ukraini.

One country needs a new president but it’s not Ukraine.

Pour the deisel out like our founders poured our British tea. It is corrupt, immoral, and every drop pays for more murder in Ukraine. Russia, Russia, Russia. It ain’t a hoax.

This is the second poll I've seen with Gendebien up by 4 in a Trump +20 (!!) district. I had the privilege to meet Blake last month - he's the real deal. And his opponent is bonkers. But this is still margin of error. Throw some support his way!

This is pretty funny. This is the story of conspiracy theorists trying to document their conspiracy to clear the lowest of legal bars, but they keep discovering that their theories don’t fit the facts. These people then quit, to be replaced by new conspiracy theorists. Repeat forever.

Two things going on with these checks: Maybe the most obvious & a point so many people I talked to made is, of course: the timing of the checks, specifically their proximity to the upcoming midterms. And in the case of the $90 Medicare Improvement Fund checks ... the legality of them.

Several experts also described at least one of the two check-mailing schemes as based on a “legally dubious” interpretation of how the executive branch may use the pool of funding it’s tapping into.

I ventured over to X to see what they think about the midterms and ran into a pardoned-by-Trump ex Illinois Gov who still doesn’t know truth from lies.

Rod Blagojevich • @real... • 1d X Don't believe the polls. There will be no blue wave. Once again, fake polling, designed, not to inform but to persuade & suppress turnout, are misleading voters. I know what I'm talking about. As a twice elected Dem governor and 3 time elected Dem Congressman, I never lost an election. Trust the people. They won't be fooled.
Collins wins in Maine, Texas & Kansas stay Republican, & El-Sayed loses in Michigan.
