SUMMARY: City officials have not denied claims regarding migrants allegedly kidnapping pets; rather, they state they lack sufficient evidence. Constituents have shared firsthand and secondhand accounts of these incidents, raising concerns. While it’s important to responsibly address claims, the comparison to Bigfoot sightings highlights skepticism about unverifiable reports. The issue at hand is that residents are reporting pets being taken, and they feel city officials are not adequately responding to these concerns. The emphasis is on the necessity for verification and responsible communication without dismissing the serious nature of the reports received.

Vice Presidential Nominee JD Vance defended claims involving migrants and pets in the U.S.

SUMMARY: A report by the Jack Kemp Foundation warns that average American energy bills could rise by 25% to 70% over the next decade due to soaring energy demands driven by AI, hyperscale data centers, and advanced manufacturing. The surge is straining the U.S. power grid, leading to significant price increases in capacity markets. Dominion Energy disputes these findings, predicting only a 2.5% annual increase in Virginia. The report argues for policy changes, including charging data centers more for energy and halting subsidies for their construction to alleviate the burden on consumers. Recommendations also include implementing minimum take clauses for utility contracts.
