This article is rubbish, more than stated, but..... less than a regular car. I'll take my full size minivan going 2500km between fill ups in the summer thanks.... Show me a traditional van that does that.

Tonight's song is dedicated to all of my friends who called the 10 Democrats who for some crazy reason voted to censure our courageous champion, Rep Al Green, the only Dem that understood the assignment on Tuesday.

I hope you seethed & handed them their @sses! I did.

CNN has failed miserably over the last few weeks, both sides-ing issues, allowing Republicans to spout lies with little to no pushback or correction. Today they literally transitioned from β€œTrump is a monster” to β€œTrump, how resilient is he after he was shot, the authors of a new book explains” JFC

AOC: It's really because Republicansβ€” they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

Absolutely monstrous. Stop saying you’re β€œChristian” and support this evil fucking racist regime. β€” Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Top Trump allies hold secret talks with Zelenskyy’s Ukrainian opponents As Washington ramps up its pressure on Zelenskyy to step aside, his rivals are talking to Trump’s team.

Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

Election Discrepancies: Unveiling the Truth, Nathan Taylor from Election Truth Alliance

Many caveats here.

I don't understand much of this myself. I'm only trying to learnβ€”not come to conclusions.

I post this only to ask if anyone with relevant expertise has seen this videoβ€”and its many chartsβ€”and finds it compelling.

(Do ignore the splashy titleβ€”this is a dry and sober assessment.)

Sit as he enters, no clapping. No recognition. As he starts to talk, stand, turn your backs and slowly file out row by row. Play his game, take the media’s attention, make the story, and also make him mad.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Current situation with #octranspo at Tunneys Pasture. Trains are 10 mins appart, R1 bus service is running and apparently automated messages don’t cover it so staff have resorted to shouting to explain what’s happening. #ottawa #octranspo #ottawatransit #tunneyspasture #line1

The article is disingenuous too saying there’s nothing in project 2025 about birthright citizenship. Which is weird as it explicitly mentions it and which laws they feel set precedence for their stance.

Based on this kind of BS misinformation you deserve an unfollow. Totally inaccurate assessment of the situation. Be better.
