Our state senate president pro-tempore will turn the whole state into Tribal land just to keep her out.

Really, NOBODY at the grownups table likes her here.

True story. Half the GOP hated her before she was Gov. Had to bring in out of state staff because old guard refused to work with and for her.

Talked to an editor of an ag trade and the sentiment is they can't keep papering over the problems. Shit is going to go sideways. I'll dip in on the bad site and aggies there are saying the same thing.

Google behind new data center project in Hermantown Minnesota Power revealed this week they have reached an Electric Service Agreement with Google for a proposed data center in northern Minnesota.

“Every song is gold”

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Pushed to get fryers back into school cafeterias.

Don't let the barn door hit you in the ass on the way out.

More details emerge about proposed Joliet data center as final approval nears Massive project has alarmed residents, but rapid advances in technology and water from Lake Michigan could make it viable.

Joliet plans the largest data center in Illinois—on top of an aquifer running dry after 150 years of pumping.

Illinois has no statewide permitting system for large water users.

MAGA farmer and reality TV star, begging Trump for a pardon for his $4 million in government crop insurance fraud, just got busted trying moving assets to sons instead of paying the judgement.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Most of Illinois is in a drought, and the state is unprepared Outdated water use laws, destruction of wetlands, demands of data centers and extreme weather are a dangerous mix.

I'm in the @chicago.suntimes.com today:

Illinois is dangerously dry, and we have no legal framework to manage large water users.

Illinois' historic water abundance bred complacency.

We still rely on centuries old English water law, totally unequipped for modern population & industrial usage.

Tolkkinen: Is there middle ground on copper-nickel mining? This Ely man thinks so. Amid the heated mining discussion in northern Minnesota, he is among those searching for a solution.

Rekindled my love of draft beer.

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
