Yep

The savings from cutting a little of the fat out of the defense budget would make a much bigger difference than eliminating the penny.

But it’s not really about efficiency, is it. It’s about appearances. And rewarding Musk for helping get Tr*mp elected.

Wondering the same thing here.

Green background with line graph spiking up and images of planes and yachts dotted around. Text reads, "Billionaire wealth soared three times faster in 2024. World now on track for at least five trillionaires within a decade".

While many struggle to make ends meet, the wealth of the super-rich has soared. It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s another way—one that prioritises fairness, sustainability, and equality. It starts with making those at the top pay their fair share.

What a weird juxtaposition of MLK Day and the inauguration of that horrific bigot with 34 felony convictions.

I’m guessing that there will be zero overlap between people celebrating one of them and people celebrating the other.

YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen New Trump scandal makes WORLDWIDE headlines

About 8 minutes and really worth your time.

Brian Tyler Cohen breaks down the TikTok issue, pointing out the utter hypocrisy of Tr*mp and his sycophants. AOC explains what the real problem is and how to solve it. BTC on why that solution will never happen. Highly recommended.

Pretty much the only store I shop at anymore

Yikes! The Average American Spent 2.5 Months on Their Phone in 2024 On your phone every 5 minutes? An alarming new study confirms that we're all hopelessly addicted to our devices and suggests the problem is getting worse.

Not good.

(Except for advertisers and disinformation spreaders.)

The flak Tr*mp is getting for moving the inauguaration inside is kind of ridiculous.

There are tons of actual bad things to criticize him for: being a serial liar, blatant sexual predator, bigot. Mass deportations, tariffs, treating the Constitution like a door mat.

Focus on what matters.

Well, well, well...🙄

R.I.P. David Lynch Thanks for the cherry pie and the damn fine coffee. And Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.

You were truly one of a kind. 🍒🥧☕️🎥🎬

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

Warren was great.

Elon Musk Is an ‘Evil Person,’ Steve Bannon Says The comments highlighted rifts within the U.S. right wing and between two men who have been influential advisers to President-elect Donald J. Trump.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy….

2) He’s said that generals in the military should not work for defense contractors for at least 10 years after they leave the military, which Warren admires. But Warren asked him whether he’d hold himself to this standard, simple yes or no question, and he evaded the question.

1) he’s said emphatically and unconditionally for over a decade that women shouldn’t serve in the military. But as soon as he was nominated for Defense Secretary, he changed his tune.

Elizabeth Warren completely rips Pete Hegseth in the confirmation hearing. Points out his spinelessness on two major points:

Ants are doing more to protect us than the incoming administration.

This record made me a superfan of Snarky Puppy 10 years ago. I will check out this new mix, but the original remains absolutely stellar. I hope I'll see some of you in Miami for GUMfest next month. Each day, SP will play a full set on their own and one with Family Dinner guests. Gorgeous venue.

I love this band. Their previous records are pretty great.

Took a lovely 3.5 mile walk around Independence Grove, one of my favorite nearby parks. It’s in northern Illinois, near Libertyville.

How can these provisions of the ACA be unconstitutional?

Tr*mp’s party controls Congress, why can’t they just modify the law to their liking? Maybe they want to cut these popular benefits without getting the political blow-back?

I don’t love it.

He wasn't totally wrong. Looks like he was half right. ;)

You can also be commander in chief if you dodged the draft by having your rich daddy pay off an unethical doctor to write a note with a made-up medical excuse.
