I believe they're probably a MAGA group looking for easy marks to help compile that antifa database they keep yammering on about. Answer and you're in!

Just got an "interesting" poll email from a group called End Citizens United. Which I do support ending.

But to be threatened like this to reply "or else"?

Interesting polling technique. Wonder what kind of results they expect.

And if folks can't get to the library, you can check out ebooks, magazines, videos etc. online using Libby and similar apps. Support your local library even if you can't get there in person!

This points to a larger problem: law requires corps to disclose hack and extortion attempts (which is too often ignored). It does not require disclosure of private attempts, such as may be with the Trumpstein Files. What other powerful figures face extortion and for what crimes in our sick world?

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

I have houseplants that would have done a better job of keeping us out of an unnecessary war that caused prices to rise.

If by reckoning they mean impeachment, removal and imprisonment, then great.

If they mean another opportunity for a long session of Trump's weaving gobbledygook, well then shit.

Oh good grief. I guess every visitor to the White House is expected to present Trump with a medal now.

This is the true crime, the shitstorm caused by AI's ravenous appetites.

Soon only the well-monied will be able to afford electronics at all, much less computing devices.

NZ has lined up with 'MAGA US states' on oil, former Marsden Point boss says While others are switching to renewables, this country is "going down the 1980s' path", David Keat says.

'A former director at Marsden Point says the country has aligned itself with "MAGA US States" in its pursuit of fossil fuels and rejection of renewable energy sources.'

Yea we know

The sooner the world stops using oil the better

Weird that anyone would prefer to forever suck on an oil company's expensive, dirty teat than develop self-sustaining, clean alternatives. But then Trump is weird and he has weird friends.

If so, I'd sure like to know why the VA feels so strongly that it needs judicial power. Is it a matter of expedience, or a power grab, or what?

Veterans across the country told ProPublica that one year into the second Trump administration, it’s become more difficult to get treatment, as hundreds of therapists and social workers have left the VA. Many of them have not been replaced.

Trump and his allies pitch a new idea: Maybe higher gas prices aren’t “bad news” We’ve reached the point at which the president wants consumers to be glad they’re paying more at the pump.

"Just stare at this shiny coin ... sleep ... good."
