'Get help': MAGA lawmaker said to have 'crashout' after getting snubbed by Trump

1 hour agoFar Left

In the three days since getting snubbed by President Donald Trump in her bid for South Carolina governor, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has gone on a social media posting blitz, publishing several dozen messages defending her record in Congress in what some critics described as a “crashout.”“Should we be genuinely worried about her?” asked novelist and podcast host John Daly in a social media post on X.A fierce defender of Trump, Mace had drawn the ire of the president in recent months for having pushed for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein and for having criticized the president’s deeply unpopular war against Iran. And last Friday, Trump decided not to endorse her in her race for South Carolina governor, instead giving his blessing to Pam Evette, the state’s lieutenant governor.In the days since, Mace has posted dozens of times on social media, though one post in particular drew heightened attention.“IRON LADY,” Mace wrote Sunday night, along with an image of what appears to be a campaign poster featuring herself in front of the South Carolina State Capitol with her hair in a traditional bouffant, a hairstyle popular in the 1950s and 1960s.“So, we can all see she’s having a mental breakdown, right?” asked political writer and anti-disinformation activist Jim Stewartson on Monday in a social media post on X to his nearly 150,000 followers. "Anyway, please get help Nancy."Even conservatives were taken aback by what onlookers characterized as Mace’s bizarre post.“You’re watching a person completely lose touch with reality in real time,” wrote Justin Evans, senior vice president of Big Dog Strategies and GOP political consultant. “You’ve never witnessed a crashout this severe in your life.”Should we be genuinely worried about her? https://t.co/fa4iNNvdAV— John A.

Trump on the hook for 205 'murders' – and will face 'historic consequences': ex-official

A former senior Trump administration official issued President Donald Trump and those around him an ominous warning on Monday about what they said were “historic consequences” they’ve yet to face, but undoubtedly will – and soon.That former official was Miles Taylor, a security expert who served as a Homeland Security senior advisor in the first Trump administration, and his warning was about the Trump administration’s ongoing operation in the Caribbean targeting suspected drug traffickers, an operation that critics have called illegal and as of Monday has killed 205 people.“More than 200 people have now been killed in Trump’s campaign against ‘drug boats’ since it began in early September,” Taylor wrote in an analysis published on his Substack Monday. “I can tell you from firsthand experience that all of them could have been arrested instead. In other words, the murders are a choice – and one that will have historic consequences.”As Trump’s deeply unpopular war against Iran continues to dominate news headlines, the administration has simultaneously begun ramping up its attacks on suspected drug traffickers in the Caribbean, and without providing evidence to the public proving that those killed were drug traffickers.And, while the Trump administration has yet to face any legal consequences for what even Republican lawmakers have described as “extrajudicial killings,” Taylor warned that consequences were, in fact, coming, and soon enough that “the people who carried this out should be calling their lawyers.”“First, Democrats are very likely to retake at least one chamber of Congress. The day they do, they get subpoena power, and the first thing a serious oversight committee will do is start pulling the thread on the obvious crimes committed by the Trump administration. This boat-strike campaign is top of the list,” Taylor wrote.“Second, congressional investigators will ask the only questions that matter in any abuse-of-power inquiry: who knew, and when did they know it? They will go looking for the paper trail, and they will undoubtedly find it.”

Trump knocks ‘chirping’ from ‘political hacks’ amid Iran negotiations

President Trump on Monday urged Democrats and “seemingly unpatriotic Republicans” to stop “chirping” about Iran negotiations and allow him to hammer out a deal without pressure from both sides of the aisle. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social that Iran “really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one…

'Dude, stop it!' Data analyst laughs at Trump's focus on 'greatly unpopular' priority

President Donald Trump has prioritized making sweeping changes to Washington, D.C., but a data analyst found those plans are strikingly unpopular.The president raged at length over the weekend at a federal judge who ordered his name removed from the Kennedy Center, and his other planned projects – from the White House ballroom to painting the Reflecting Pool blue – have faced legal challenges of their own, but CNN's Harry Enten found little public support for those efforts."I'm just going to quote Michael Jordan here: 'Stop it, just stop it,'" Enten said. "The American people are saying to the president of the United States, you could see right here, kids laughing off there on the side. I mean, just look at this, naming government buildings after Trump, acceptable right now as he is president of the United States of America. Just 9 percent, just 9 percent. Literally, you can put it on your two hands. When you can put something on your two hands, you know, it's a very small section of the public. My little footnote on here includes just 17 percent of Republicans, 50 percent say not acceptable at all – the clear plurality here, and then you get this additional 21 percent who say, you know, it's okay to put President Trump's name on government buildings, but only after he leaves office.""But the bottom line is this, greatly unpopular, President Trump or the government putting his name on government buildings," he added. "I think the American people are standing up and applauding the fact that Trump is leaving this aside, because the American people, simply put, are not with it."Single-digit support is obviously low, Enten said, but he tried to number into context with other topics."Americans who believe it's okay right now to name government buildings for Trump, just 9 percent," he said. "To put that into some perspective, 10 percent of Americans believe that the earth is flat, and 12 percent of Americans think that the moon landing was faked, which of course it was not, and of course, the earth is actually round. So fewer Americans think it's acceptable right now to put President Trump's name on government buildings than believe two conspiracy theories, either the earth is flat or the moon landing was fake, and when you're lower than that, you know that you're doing something quite, quite unpopular."Voters backed Trump for a second term because he promised to tackle inflation, but consumer costs remain high and he has seemingly focused his attention on unrelated topics."President Trump got elected to a second term to deal with inflation," Enten said. "Of course, right now, what we're talking about is President Trump getting record low ratings on inflation, not just for himself, but for any president, and it just goes back to this. Trump on issues facing most Americans focused enough, just 29 percent, just one in three Americans say that President Trump is focused enough on the issues facing most Americans. The clear majority, the supermajority, more than two and three, 68 percent, say, no, he's not focused enough, and that is why his approval rating has been falling in the 30s in multiple polls, because he's focused on the wrong issues.""He's focused on putting his name on the government buildings," Enten added. "They're talking about, what was that, that $250 commemorative bill that we're talking about right there. Dude, again, just to quote Michael Jordan, stop it, stop it. Focus on inflation, focus on the economy, and then maybe your approval ratings will actually get above 40 percent." - YouTube youtu.be

Trump rages against 'unpatriotic Republicans' and 'chirping' war critics in 1AM meltdown

President Donald Trump revealed early Monday morning that his efforts to negotiate an end to his deeply unpopular war against Iran were being compromised by “chirping” critics, whom he pleaded with to stop, “sit back and relax.”“Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.“The Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively ‘chirping,’ at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever.”The Trump administration has struggled to broker a deal with Tehran to end the war, in large part due to the president’s inability to pressure Israel into halting its bombardment of Lebanon – a condition Iran has insisted must be part of any agreement. And, with the war causing economic turmoil across the globe, Trump has reportedly been looking for a way out of the conflict he initiated since at least early March, but to no success.Critics across the political spectrum, Trump admitted, were apparently making negotiations “much tougher,” and to them, the president issued a plea.“Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end,” Trump wrote.

Trump is fast-tracking AI data centers as EPA ignores their potential 'forever chemicals'

Trump is fast-tracking AI data centers as EPA ignores their potential 'forever chemicals'

Data centers require a massive amount of water to cool their systems, which heat up as they process digital information through numerous computers and network servers. Systems that aren’t “closed loop” have to cycle out water that doesn’t evaporate.Most data centers in Virginia are permitted to discharge water into municipal wastewater systems, the same place household water goes to be treated and recycled for consumption. But there’s limited data tracking of potential chemicals in data centers’ discharge water.At least one data center is permitted to discharge directly into a natural water source in the state: Northeast Creek in Louisa County. Another is applying for a similar permit to discharge into nearby Sedges Creek which feeds into Lake Anna.That water is pretreated before being released into the creek and has limits to certain metals and temperature set by the Department of Environmental Quality. But the knowledge gaps about the chemical makeup of data centers’ water discharge poses major questions over whether “forever chemicals” could be contaminating water from the facilities, posing risks to human and environmental health.Cooling the watersAmazon’s Lake Anna Tech Park project will include an evaporative water cooling system, which is what they use in the Northeast Creek location. The H2O will come from well water until industrial systems are hooked up. At that point, the water will be run through a “membrane” that cools the air and fans will blow it onto the data halls containing the computers.Amazon – which operates dozens of data centers in the state – explained that at the two Louisa sites they are only using the evaporation method a small portion of the year; the rest of the time they pull in air from outside for cooling. Water sent through an evaporative cooling system is considered non-contact, meaning it does not directly touch the computer equipment.“In Louisa County, we rely on outside natural air-cooling for about 96% of the year and only use water-based cooling during the hottest periods, which is about 4% of annual operations,” Amazon said in a statement.After a few cycles the water has to be released. The system dechlorinates the water and manages pH balance before sending it into the creek.“As part of this process, cooling water needs to be periodically discharged; this cooling water is called ‘non-contact cooling water.’ It never touches IT equipment, and it’s treated before release in alignment with state environmental standards,” an Amazon representative said.Larger, newer data centers are more frequently designed with “closed loop” systems, meaning they don’t take in as much water on a daily basis. Initially, hundreds of gallons of water are pumped into this type of system, much of which evaporates, and then it’s topped off as needed.But they take more energy to operate.In an aerial view, an Amazon Web Services data center is shown situated near single-family homes on July 17, 2024 in Stone Ridge, Virginia. (Photo by Nathan Howard/Getty Images)Closed loop systems will often use what is described as mechanical cooling or liquid cooling, where the water is recycled through the system, cooled, and placed directly on chips to bring the temperature down. The heat from those systems still has to be expelled through an HVAC system.The water is pretreated before being released into the creek and has limits for certain metals and temperature set by DEQ. But with recent reports showing the ubiquitous nature of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in everything from water to soil to household products, community members are increasingly worried about whether the data center’s discharge water contains them, too.Residents have also cited concerns over PFAS being present in the equipment inside of data centers that is used to cool the heated systems and routinely replaced every few years.These chemicals can have serious health impacts when people are exposed to even small amounts, such as decreased fertility, higher risk of some cancers, and weakening of the immune system.Virginia currently does not have requirements for the testing of the discharge water of data centers for PFAS, nor does the federal Environmental Protection Agency.Because the water being discharged from data centers either into wastewater systems or into the creek are not explicitly required to be tested for PFAS, it is unclear whether they are present or not.“We know that they may be using, not only PFAS, but other toxic chemicals. We know that they released massive amounts of water, at least to treatment works, and some of them to surface waters,” said Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz with EarthJustice, a nonprofit that litigates environmental issues.  ”And beyond that, it’s just a void. There’s really a dangerous lack of information.”The Environmental and Energy Study Institute reports that PFAS can be present in the cooling systems that are liquid based – which is not what the Louisa Amazon data centers use.
