Fucking cowards

Drive the care out of large hospitals and then laden small providers with increasingly expensive and unnecessary equipment regulations. Welcome to the anti abortion playbook.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Makes sense 😅 plenty of stuff I use in my day to day to day like that.

I'd generally stray from saying just use Linux instead but for gaming handhelds you're way better off with Bazzite unless you really need Windows for a specific game.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

That’s a lot of money that these other countries are going to be forced to simply fork over, damn, I’m surprised nobody ever thought of this, it seems lucrative and painless and easy.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."

It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

moreso than*

It's very breathable, moreso that'd maybe any other pillow I've tried, and therefore does not get very warm (never need to cool side of the pillow flip anymore). It's very firm but adjustable and form fitting. Think like memory foam that locks into place once it's set.

i've tried so many pillows and always come back to my beans72 pillow/travel pillow, learning that their website is this precious only makes me love them more

"Trump and Musk are trying to rewrite the rules of the system. They seek an anti-constitutional theory of executive power that would make the president supreme over all other branches of government. They do so in service of a plutocratic agenda of austerity and the upward redistribution of wealth"

Democratic senators better do everything they can to stop the Senate in its tracks.

Bring the Senate to a halt and Kennedy will not be able to be confirmed. And it will draw attention and media coverage to put public pressure against Kennedy.

Exclusive | Democratic Senator Says He Will Stall Trump Nominees Until USAID Is Back The move would require Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use precious floor time to advance the president’s nominees through the confirmation process.

I wish I had the naive optimism of my friends who bring their own games to my game nights. God bless them.

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency.

to be clear, given that musk is claiming that he's deleting payments in the treasury system, that means that somebody is not accurately representing what's going on (and, presumably, it will be easy to tell soon enough given that either lutheran social services will receive its $ or it won't)

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

If your lifestyle involves a lot of computer time, you need to be doing certain types of extra exercise or the muscles will weaken that shock-absorb your knees, cartilage will start breaking down, and you get permanent knee issues. If you ask your doctor they can give you stretches to ward this off.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
