For anyone saying AI is fine and there will be some universal income for all, fine, but from what government revenue stream?

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Why we’ll have a recession Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward

What’s really going on with the economy?

I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies β€” the American oligarchy β€” have a plan.

They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

TikTok is making up its own mind to return irrespective of Trump, who has no power and would require a veto to make a real ruling. Watch what the app stores do.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rejects President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to delay sentencing in his New York hush money case. (Not really "hush money"... more like election and tax fraud).

They aren’t going to find $2T in waste.

They aren’t going to lower grocery prices.

They aren’t going to fix immigration.

They are however going to give themselves trillions in tax breaks, and pay for them by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter.

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.

Let's see how that goes.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking β€œweird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
