Or states can petition to get bipartisan districting laws on the ballot and passed like we did here in MI.

Weird, I can love my neighbors without religion dictating that I should.

Wait, is he admitting preferential treatment was given when awarding these contracts and now they need to be pulled because Musk criticized a terribly written bill supported by Trump? Me thinks this should be looked into…

Can someone explain to me why servers making 60k a year deserve to pay less taxes than any other person in the US who also makes 60k a year?

I thought for sure this was an article from The Onion. Amd then I realized Cosplay Barbie will do anything to see herself on TV, since you know she’ll be prominently featured.

Not by the amount they were raised, that’s for sure. And the reduction to 30% doesn’t extend to the de minimus exemption. That was reduced, but to 54% from 120%. 60% of shipments from China are in the de minimus category.

“Art of the Deal”:
1. Create a problem
2. Tell people how it “benefits” them
3. MAGA sycophants post about how amazing this is
4. Countries give Trump the 🖕
5. Trump caves and calls his failure a huge triumph
6. MAGA sycophants post how amazing this is
7. US consumers get screwed

Oh wow, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social did it

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It’s mostly already an echo chamber. That doesn’t negate that we need to stay on top of their narrative on a broader scale.

Respectfully disagree. It’s imperative to continue to monitor what’s being said by the influencers on the right and how they are spinning the narrative. We can’t combat misinformation if we don’t know what’s being said.

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us...

But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

Total cost $8,557. Med cost 19.4% of total.

Yellow is chemo meds; ~3.75% of total. Remainder are for nausea, steroids (blood counts) and allergic reaction prevention. Long acting nausea meds most expensive meds.

It always amuses me that that both republicans and democrats often vote against their own best interests.

Do I want a tax cut? Sure. But the $100 isn’t worth kids not eating at school. Or having medical care and housing support.

I’m GenX. They didn’t know where I was, let alone if or what I was reading. But they most definitely would not have approved.

Things I had forgotten about chemo:

It hurts when your nose hair falls out

Your eyelids get red/puffy/itchy when your eyelashes fall out & they get caught in your contacts

Your fingernails and toenails throb incessantly

Your gums are dry & achy

You go thru a shit ton of Aquaphor & CeraVe

You would think so. But everyone I know has one.

It’s definitely a Midwest thing. Not sure why we’re so obsessed with cheese 🤷🏻‍♀️

Guilty. Also have garage fridge for drinks and a drawer dedicated to cheese. Im such a midwest cliche.

Tupperware? Good sir, it’s butter containers, cool whip containers and the “good” containers you get from takeout.

Love this for them.

Removing DEI “hires” seems to be exposing all the mediocre white guys.

I had no idea this was a thing, but here we are 😑

The lowest ever score for the US on the International Corruption Index

And workers. A lot of red states have a significant amount of federal employees.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

The most qualified Supreme Court justice nominee in history gets dismissed as a “DEI hire”—because she’s Black.

Mediocre White men don’t get this disrespect!

Musk team moves into US consumer finance watchdog as Trump defends billionaire Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) moved into the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Friday, according to two people familiar with the move, as the Tesla CEO's team extended its influence across the U.S. government.

Gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau means fewer protections from predatory lenders, scams, and corporate abuse. Billionaires and big banks win while Americans face more fraud, higher fees, and weaker rights. It’s the Great Billionaire Takeover—brought to you by Trump and Musk.

Scott Baio and Catturd are extremely upset they didn’t make the cut.

Sorry, not sorry.
