As a long time AFGE supporter, this is an incredible slap in the face.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

FEMA Is Ending Door-to-Door Canvassing in Disaster Areas As it shifts responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities, FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED.

SCOOP: FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED. This comes as the agency is shifting responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities.

Oh, and it's hurricane preparedness week, btw.

Even in news articles debunking the claim that Trump's tariffs are "reciprocal," I'm seeing some writers reflexively use his language about "the tariff rates that other countries charge us." Other countries do not "charge us" tariffs. They tax their own citizens, and we tax ours.

As Facebook Abandons Fact-Checking, It’s Also Offering Bonuses for Viral Content Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind…

ProPublica identified 95 Facebook pages that regularly post made-up headlines designed to draw engagement — and, often, stoke political divisions.

The pages, most of which are managed by people overseas, have a total of more than 7.7M followers.

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.

We did indeed and it's embarrassing

Military families rocked by Trump’s federal government cuts | CNN Politics The Trump administration’s swift, sweeping cuts to the federal workforce is set to derail the livelihoods of potentially thousands of military families.

Donald Trump disparaged the military constantly in private as his highest advisors confirmed on the record.

But he lied a lot to win millions of votes from the military and veterans.

And now the Finding Out is going to be horrific.

It is shocking (not shocking, actually) how many conservative acquaintances of mine are clutching their pearls over this.

Like, the government will literally hunt you down if you miss an IRS payment but they expect us to believe the government is giving millions of dead people free money?

FFS.

This is an impeachable offense.

Not holding my breath but it is.

The NIL era has put an absolute premium on coaching. Thoughts?

Win or lose, I take back everything bad I said about Wink.

Orji in and not JD tells me all I need to know about JD.

Great flow!!

Dear Oregon, bracket Smith the entire game. You're welcome.

Agreed

Elected Dems want an alternate media ecosystem. OK, my question to each of you is - How many podcast interviews did you do in the last 30 days with people who weren’t also network TV hosts? If you answered less than 5, then my friends, you are exactly part of the problem.

38 Republicans voted with Democrats tonight, but that is somehow our fault.

Right-wing Republicans joined with Democrats.

That means your bill sucked.

And you excluded Dems from negotiations.

But the Party of Personal Responsibility NEVER takes personal responsibility. EVER.

Yes

The Economist ran this story this week. Yes...they are coming for veterans benefits. No one voted to destroy the VA or the benefits that our 15 million living veterans receive. Just 6% of Americans have served and these fuckers are coming for our hard earned benefits.

Everton had a man advantage for a whole half and couldn't score lol....smh

Remember when Trump claimed he didn't know what Project 2025 was and had nothing to do with it? As with everything Trump says, that was bullshit. But he knew his followers were too stupid for it to matter.

I suspect that Joe and Mika’s bosses pushed for it. MSNBC’s ownership has always had a soft underbelly when it comes to standing up for this country.

In the 90s, they were rampantly anti-Clinton.

The bottom line is that Trump neither wants nor cares if executive agencies provide services or oversight effectively.

Loyalty to him is the only coin in the realm.

Congrats!!

By January there will be over 1.5 million people with some form of executive permission to live and work in the US legally, whether it be DACA or Temporary Protected Status. Most have been here for 15-20 years or more.

There will be economic shocks from stripping them of status and work permits.

I was told Trump is going to fix everything....
