Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.
13 Investigates: You pay sales tax. Some Indiana data centers didn’t. Here’s what we found
New records show some Indiana data centers have reported hundreds of millions in state sales and use tax exemptions.

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas
Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

Over 1,000 Ubisoft workers around the world have walked off the job.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.

The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
Ubisoft workers are on strike: 'We are treated like children'
The strike comes after the publisher revealed plans to cut up to 200 jobs and ordered remote workers back into the office

They know that Democrats in power will never hold anyone responsible for their crimes. Dems are complicit. It doesn't matter if they ever regain power. But they won't anyway. You can't vote your way out of fascism.
I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.

They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.

Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

You’ll never guess how the IDF decided to talk about killing these two kids, 8 and 11 years old, in its official statement
Two brothers killed in Israeli drone strike on Gaza
Fadi Abu Assi, 11, and Goma Abu Assi, eight, were gathering firewood at the time, their uncle said.

This is the face that establishment dems want to show the country. This is who a lot of them have chosen to lead.
The dude who wants to ban trans folk from playing sports and evict the homeless is who they want.
Not someone who actually wants to stop Trump. Not sometime who wants to stop ice. Yuck

Trump can't deliver the lower costs he promised. All he has is cruelty and revenge.

Cuomo is unable to confront him because they share the same billionaire donors. Just look at his statement last night.

I will stand up for this city and with our Attorney General.

The UK doesn't have any money, so the plan is to spend many billions of pounds issuing everyone with another form of photo ID.

Don't report this as a civil liberties thing, just calculate how many GPs you could get for the same money.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.
