Local media is reporting this as a drug dispute, rather than a Fox inspired murder.

Many of the people living in this encampment are Native Americans.
Local American Indian Movement leaders are asking for land to be returned to build housing. Maybe we should get behind that?

Updating flood zone maps has met many of the same obstacles. While you are very right about the value of human life, action will be more likely if society is willing to share the cost of saving those lives, instead of bankrupting whoever is currently holding the bag.

I am
kinda curious what happens if you enable the AI to respond to questions with pasts posts, but don’t allow sentient users to post hyperlinks…

This is news? I would have expected anyone literate in conservative religious culture to have known this for about 50 years.

I don’t see the House judiciary moving quickly on HJR 29…. They may be bright enough to realize that it allows ALL of the living ex-Presidents to run again.

Neighbor Tuesday: USAID update Do the waivers even matter? And, a conversation with my boss.

An epidemiologist discusses the impact of disrupting USAID. For every day PEPFAR cannot function, 10 babies die. The “waiver” isn’t bringing staff back or getting in country contractors paid - there are still many obstacles.

True, but it happened in 2021, and didn’t stop him from getting re-elected.

The one good thing about the Democrats is they have enough votes to win in good years. Blue splinter parties tend to siphon more votes away from the big blue party than they attract away from the red party, resulting in election losses for both. Stay with us and support primary challengers.

The Tate brothers are despicable, but the Romanians have not managed to bring them to trial over two years after the initial arrests. A position that US intervention when citizens are detained without trial should depend on their popularity is highly problematic…

Which of the many missed opportunities are you lamenting?

It says something about this timeline that I immediately googled moon cheese to see if you were literally serious. Apparently, moon cheese is a thing, although I did not uncover direct evidence linking it to the President.

How ironic that we are discussing this on Blue Sky, which doesn’t really have a “private” setting. You can start a chat with a small group of friends, but that sounds like a telephone game nightmare where all the “information” is 8th hand rumors with no verifiable source…

This needs additional fact checking - does not match official sources about title, sponsor, etc for HR 26. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

What did they have that was worse than the mercury in CFL?

Not new news, has been a consistent pattern since 2016, but it won’t work on everyone. Senator McConnell, for instance, has already stepped back from leadership positions on account of ill health, and is not expected to run for re-election in 2026. He voted against the Hegseth nomination.
