    No matter where you look there&#39;s poison. &quot;Pfas are used for a new form of datacentre cooling touted as more water- and energy-efficient.

    Trumps starts the process of kicking Hegseth under the bus. Bessent will get his turn as he is no different from Hegseth. Witness Bessent&#39;s attempt to quiet the bond market. Almost as successful as the war against Iran. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/pentagon-pete-quietly-sidelined-trump-204918149.html #TrumpAndEpstein #War #Economics #Fascism

    &quot; The Bank for International Settlements has warned that an AI bust could hit credit markets as hard as 2008, precisely because so much of the buildout runs through debt and circular deals. Those interlocking arrangements are what unsettle regulators. When chipmakers, cloud providers and model developers invest in one another, a stumble at any one node can ripple outward, and the exposure is harder to see from the outside.&quot; https://thenextweb.com/news/a-fed-official-is-asking-whether-...

    Mitch McConnell is still not dead, thanks to access to the best health care in the US, as all of Congress has. If he was in the situation millions in the US are in, uninsured, McConnell might still be dead today. https://www.courier-journal.com/videos/news/politics/2026/07/27/new-photo-mitch-mcconnell-recovering-rehab-alive-senator-kentucky-update-fancy-farm-congress-votes/91066754007/ #MitchMcConnell #Healthcare #UniversalHealthcare #Medicaid

    Col.E. John Gregory has no interest in upholding the US Constitution. &quot; &#39;Stop talking,&#39; Gregory, a deputy department head, said in a raised voice, &#39;and sit down.&#39; Bakken, a 68-year-old who had never served in the military, did not sit down. He reminded the colonel that he had sworn an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution when he accepted his teaching job. &quot;We&#39;re a military institution,&quot; Gregory interrupted, &#39;We follow orders.&#39;&quot; https://www.yahoo...

    &quot;Together they formed Texas Cob, dedicated to natural building. They design, construct and restore using building methods that use traditional, nontoxic materials, such as adobe, lime plaster, limewash, and cob, which is a mix of clay, sand, straw, and water used to construct homes and other buildings. They built about 10 houses before deciding it was time to create one of their own.&quot; https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/built-texas-home-sand-straw-170007145.html #Construction #Ho...

    Heather Cox Richardson! &quot;Like many other observers, Nichols noted that Trump was “incoherent” in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain.&quot; https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/july-8-2026?r=63j6s&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=email #T...

    Carlyn Beccia- &quot;MAGA Republicans. ...the researchers defined the term with clinical precision: Republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and deny the results of that election. The dividing line is the denial itself: the willingness to hold that an election was stolen in the absence of evidence. That single belief turns out to be a genetic marker. Everything else travels with it. The group is about 15 percent of American adults — roughly 38 million people. &quot; https://open.substack.c...
