1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It's the latest one that aired last week.

Getting caught up with South Park, and Stephen Miller Nosferatu is 👨‍🍳💋

KU will never be a football team. 2007-08 was an anomaly.

IRS Direct File won't be available next year. Here's what that means for taxpayers The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear.

Probably just a coincidence, but Intuit's (TurboTax) total political contributions last year were under $800k, overwhelmingly Democrats. But then it donated $1M to Trump's inauguration. I couldn't find a similar gift to previous inaugurations. apnews.com/article/irs-...

SNAP benefits: Trump admin seeks emergency block on order to pay food stamps in full The Trump administration tried not to pay for any food stamps in November because of the government shutdown. It now proposes partial SNAP benefits.

It's bad enough that a judge has to force the federal government to resume funding for FOOD assistance. But the federal government filing an emergency bid to block that order is a bold strategy that can backfire in the midterm election. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/07/s...

The shutdown has stopped data collection for upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics reports (and other agencies), including for inflation. That could significantly affect the quality of the reports when the government reopens, a fact that people who don't like the results will use to undermine them.

Trump's bright view of the economy doesn't match what voters are seeing NBC News exit polls from Tuesday's elections showed voters are deeply worried about pocketbook issues and the direction of the country.

Today marks the second consecutive month of no employment report from the federal government because of the shutdown. I suppose you can make any claim about the economy when there's no official data available to refute it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Someone having a medical emergency during a press conference with White House health officials is almost as symbolic as the photos of the White House demolition.

We now know where he's at during fight-or-flight mode.

And the Trump administration has considered passing a federal law that preempts any state law regulating AI, which would include AI tech. DOT Secretary Duffy expressed the need for more AV regs during confirmation hearing, but we haven't seen any yet.

My point is that Arizona did nothing meaningful in the wake of a pedestrian death that many people saw coming. San Francisco appears to be poised to do so, but only after the death of a cat.

We appear to be in overall agreement on AVs, i.e. more oversight is long overdue.

The governor shut Uber down AFTER it already decided to do so on their own. It was more symbolic than anything else. Arizona never beefed up regs in the aftermath. The state may had beefed up enforcement of existing, super lax regs though.

I don't recall any significant regulation at the state or federal level after the incident. Uber ceased operations in Arizona, but just moved them to another state. There's virtually no oversight at the federal level, which has been a key talking point among those critical of AVs.

Anyway, Mississippi is basically the Wild West. Residents were told to call the police if they spotted the monkeys. Instead, they just shot them. Had an opportunity to kill a primate and took it.

Small-town preacher shoots one of last lab monkeys that escaped Mississippi crash George Barnett, 45, a church leader and avid hunter, is the second civilian to shoot one of the escaped research monkeys in the past few days.

If you thought Cocaine Bear was wild, life is crazier than fiction. Three monkeys got loose in Mississippi after a crash. Only one made it out alive. One was shot by a mother, the other shot by a preacher. I'm guessing the gun of the person who found the third jammed. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Elaine Herzberg, the 49-year-old mother & wife killed by a self-driving Uber in 2018, was homeless at the time. Our society views homeless people & other marginalized groups as "less dead." If Elaine were a middle-class stay-at-home mom, the regulatory process over AVs would have begun immediately.

A self-driving car killed a human being seven years ago, but apparently killing a cat is what prompts government officials to look into more autonomous vehicle oversight. 🤦‍♂️ thehill.com/policy/energ...

I'm only partially joking. We were just told for a third consecutive year that there will be no holiday bonuses this year. That was a week before we were informed our health insurance deductible will increase by 25%. Tariffs and tax breaks really jumpstarting the economy.

My holiday bonus at work came early this year.

The future of liberal, progressive politics in the U.S. doesn't necessarily hinge on the success of Mamdani, but a lot is riding on it. That's why the current White House administration will do everything it can to see him fail. Godspeed, NYC!

“DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT SANDWICH?”

This thread is WILD and a scene that would have ended up on the "Idiocracy" editing floor for being TOO stupid.

Map by Axios showing which states are addressing SNAP funding. See if you can find a pattern ...

The Second Amendment has less to do with protecting oneself from a tyrannical government and more to do with grown men needing to protect themselves from most middle schoolers who can swing a better punch.

Christmas Capitalism vomit on every aisle in every retail store right now. Watch your step. 🤮🎄

I found a place in BFE Missouri selling legit Labubus for $17.99, so I got one for a 1yo's birthday. I'm being told it's a "rare" one, but I know nothing about Beanie Baby BS 2.0. 🤷‍♂️
