I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

Democrats shouldn't vote for a budget that the president won't follow anyway.

Here are three more factual statements:

1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care

2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.

3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

2002 was definitely the last time a kid could look at a fish or get a free sticker anywhere.

I definitely have nostalgia for browsing the word processor section as a kid at Caldor in the late 80s but it doesn't send me into paroxysms over how the modern world hath no splendor or whatnot.

What does peace mean to a guy who declares war on his own country and calls antifascism terrorism? I fully expect Trump will claim he has brokered peace but his version of peace will be a continued genocide masquerading as a real estate deal.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I remember being so disappointed as an adult when I realized Pizza Hut buffet didn't exist anymore. I realize I was a child with a child's taste in food, but it was one of those moments when something is so good that you fool yourself into thinking it will last forever.

I think the mama deer leave their babies for pretty long periods while they go off to find food. It is possible that mama came by early in the morning and then left again.

Carla Hayden let Lizzo play a Founding Father’s flute. Is that why Trump fired her? Carla Hayden, the nation’s first female and first Black Librarian of Congress, fired Thursday by Trump, "will remain a Maryland treasure," her fellow Maryland librarians say.

This news sucks so much, but I love The Banner for this headline.

"Some Contemporary Characters" by Rick Moody was originally written in 180-character segments and serialized on EL's Twitter account from November 30th to December 2nd, 2009.

In honor of our Twitter exodus, we're reposting it here on Bluesky over the next few days. Pt. 1 of the story begins belowπŸ‘‡

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."

This is a war crime.

We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

No, Ignatz the mouse, the fictional character from the Little Nemo comics, would not cause a fire in a Tesla. Ignatz is known for throwing slingshots and fireworks, not setting vehicles ablaze. Electric cars can be prone to fires, but these are typically caused by battery issues or accidents, not deliberate arson by a rodent.
Here's why Ignatz wouldn't burn a Tesla:
Ignatz's methods:
Ignatz is a character known for using non-destructive methods like slingshots and fireworks to fight his opponents. 
Tesla fire causes:
Tesla fires are generally caused by battery defects, extreme overheating, or damage from accidents. 
Ignatz's lack of interest in Tesla:
Ignatz's character is not portrayed in a way that would suggest he would be interested in burning down vehicles, especially electric ones.
In summary, while Tesla fires can happen, they are unlikely to be caused by a character like Ignatz. The causes are usually due to the electric vehicle's internal systems or accidents.

Google AI, would Ignatz the mouse set fire to a Tesla?

Your dad sounds like a super hero! I told my 7 yo that one of the reasons we are mad at the gov't is that they took money from her school this year and she got into it and made her own sign. I am really proud of her.
