The Energy Department projects that next year, data centers and other commercial facilities will use more electricity than households for the first time.Electricity costs continue to climb nationwide, and experts say infrastructure is a major factor. "I think it's important to understand that most of your electricity bill is infrastructure," said Mike O'Boyle, acting policy team director at Energy Innovation. "And you're paying for the infrastructure we have right now." O'Boyle said modernization of the nation's aging infrastructure is colliding with higher demand and rising natural gas costs, which account for about 40% of U.S. electricity production. "It's kind of...

As Michigan lawmakers debate next year’s budget, the Democratic lieutenant governor — who’s running for governor in 2026 — floated an idea to hit back at some of the Trump administration’s spending cuts and get more money into the state government’s coffers: raise taxes on the wealthiest Trump supporters. In a video obtained by The Daily Wire, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist told a group of Democrats earlier this month that the Trump administration has “attacked our people” by cutting funding to universities and “attacking those of us who are getting our health care from Medicaid.” Gilchrist made the remarks...

The party no doubt went into the three-day event hoping to find some direction as it fumbles with messaging and faces plunging poll numbers, party division, fundraising issues, and a massive drop in voter registration. Instead, the event was another tiresome display of cognitive dissonance and wishful thinking: a lot of talk about change without displaying a willingness to break away from the destructive path it continues to...

French police are refusing to intercept migrant dinghies in the water and are yet to receive any new orders from Paris, it has emerged. In another huge blow to Sir Keir Starmer’s small boats plan, senior figures condemned a lack of officers, training and equipment. And one admitted police do not “really want to go into the water to stop people”.

"Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre. 'How dare you pray for innocent people in the midst of tragedy?!' What are...
