two firefighters have been burned and permanently scarred by "harsh chemicals from a toxic muck fluid that pools in tunnels" at the Las Vegas Loop, but the feds don't think The Boring Company should pay over $400k in OSHA fines

With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules

(11/11) In this new normal, costs are individually adjusted to a consumer’s maximum threshold and wages to a worker’s minimum floor.
The next time you see a price, know that it may not reflect what the item is worthβ€”but what the algorithm believes *you* are worth.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: β€œTHIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Remember when a president inspired his followers to ransack the US Capitol to overturn an election and no one in his party would defend it or be seen near him for a while and then the people who did it were convicted of felonies? And then we decided as a nation to reelect that guy?

Remember when Roe was settled law? Remember when birthright citizenship was just an unquestioned feature of the 14th amendment? Remember when states and localities regulated guns all the time because of course the 2nd amendment wasn’t about individual self-defense?

I’ve seen this person get retweeted by MAGA influencers like Benny Johnson. He’s not kidding. This is a real political goal he is pursuing. He has 425,000 followers on Facebook.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice β€” not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Elon Musk declares victory with Medicaid data release The Trump administration has used fraud in safety net programs as justification for deep spending cuts.

Musk dumped millions of Medicaid claims online and told Twitter to "find the fraud." This isn't transparency. It's a targeting system. Every doctor who treats the poorest Americans just had their billing patterns handed to MAGA vigilantes.They cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, then blamed the providers

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the β€œold world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not β€œsovereignty.”

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is not ACTUALLY true on paper.

HSI has charged voter fraud, & CISA (part of DHS) does have a role in election security -- remember Trump fired Chris Krebs for declaring the 2020 election sound.

Not excusing the presser. But it's important to know WHAT TOOLS Noem might use to steal election.
