66-year-old retired Army veteran Loretta Young Thornton lives next door to Elon Musk’s Colossus 2 AI data center in Memphis’ Whitehaven neighborhood. She says the constant noise reminds her of a war zone. Her new neighbor? “I just say that’s my noisy neighbor, Elon Musk.”

THE YOUNG DEMOCRATIC SUPERSTAR James Talarico humiliated Steve Toth on the House floor — and got him to admit the bigotry out loud. Talarico held the bill up side by side. The Senate version scrubbed Frederick Douglass. Scrubbed Martin Luther King Jr. Scrubbed Native American history, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony. But it kept Alexis de Tocqueville — a white Frenchman. Not even American. Talarico asked: "Could that be because he's a white man?" Toth had no answer. This is who they are. This is what we've known about this party for a long time. The Democratic Party wants everyone at the table. Republicans are snakes. He’s the Texas State Rep from The Woodlands who wrote the bill, HB 3979. This is 2026 and we're still having this conversation — the bitterness, the hate. The whole world is watching this embarrassment. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT

This is why everyone is REALLY scared of him. He is very smart ! It’s been so long since we’ve seen such directness and accuracy. We need more leaders like him in government.

If they had something to say about the price of gas or the price of groceries or the fact that people can't see a doctor, they would have said it. But they didn't.
