Why Democrats stopped talking about climate William Lawrence is a Democrat running to represent Michigan’s Lansing-area Seventh Congressional District with a campaign that largely focuses on data centers and affordability. It’s not an unusual story in 2026 — but not long ago, Lawrence was cutting his teeth in progressive politics as a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, primarily focused on organizing […]... 🔗 https://www.vox.com/america-actually/504178/william-lawrence-michigan-7th-data-centers-climate-sunrise #News #USNews #Vox

Google is sending a data center into space During a tense vote on a data center being built in her drought-stricken Arizona district last summer, Tucson City Councilmember Nikki Lee made an unlikely pitch: “We’re going to get a little out-of-this-world for a second, so just bear with me.” Like many of her constituents, Lee did not want Project Blue, a sprawling 290-acre […] 🔗 https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/501756/orbital-data-centers-space #News #USNews #Vox #Space

The psychology behind Trump’s obsession with DC renovations Since President Donald Trump returned to office, he has moved aggressively to leave his mark. Many of his most visible legacy projects are not pieces of legislation, though. They’re part of a campaign to reshape Washington, DC, itself. Last year, Trump knocked down the East Wing of the White House to make way for his […]... 🔗 https://www.vox.com/podcasts/503467/trump-dc-renovations-obsession-ballroom-kennedy-center-arch #News #USNews #Vox

An elegant fix for one of America’s deadliest road problems In 2012, Southern California was besotted with an unlikely celebrity: a telegenic mountain lion who had crossed one of the state’s most perilous freeways, seeking a territory to call his own. Widely deemed “LA’s loneliest lion” and “most eligible bachelor,” the chiseled puma in question, named P-22, roamed the bustling but otherwise big cat-less Hollywood […]... 🔗 https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/502341/wildlife-crossings-wallis-annenberg #News #USNews #Vox

This year, it’s already playing a major role in midterm ads, with Democrats in competitive races almost always on the defensive. At this point, the fight doesn’t even need a trans athlete: The WNBA spent the […]... 🔗 https://www.vox.com/politics/501579/transgender-washington-midterms-ballot-measure-girls-sports-athlete #News #USNews #Vox

Trump’s imaginary Red Scare Democratic socialists keep winning primary elections, and Democratic voters are trending in the same direction: Recent polling suggests that a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults now identify as democratic socialists.

The real reason Republican senators should have opposed Todd Blanche For a brief moment late last week, it looked like acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s bid to get the word “acting” removed from his job title was in serious trouble.

I was just listening to Vox's "Today, Explained" podcast ("It must suck to be young") talking with some politically aware kids about arguments. One mentioned looking up a list of 10 characteristics of genocide and saying "it doesn't match all of them." My immediate thought was "kid, if you gotta look at a list and say there’s 10% of the characteristics that it doesn’t meet then fine, you win, maybe it’s just sparkling mass fucking murder. You might want to watch 'Are We The Baddies?' sometime soon." #vox #TodayExplainedpodcast #gaza
