Time to leave Capital One since they merged with Discover and forced new debit cards that don’t work at all merchants. Couldn’t pay for groceries or my water at College Street Music Hall with either Apple Pay or the debit card because the merchant didn’t accept Discover. Genius decision executives.

Yes they do. That episode 😮🔥

The CEOs don’t realize that the point is to close hospitals and kill people.

65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

From the Cato Institute; this one is worth reading.

Topline: "nonpublic data from ICE indicate that the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind."

Don't let their lies dominate the narrative.

Prescott had a good turnout too, according to a friend who lives there. Good to see this in Northern AZ.

New employer uses United. I’m very concerned.

This is murder.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

The Failure, Fear, and Frenzy around Luigi Mangione is officially on the EMMY ballot.

The fact that there's zero daylight between "pope they picked" and "only pope they would've picked if JD Vance really did kill the previous pope" is kind of interesting.

He’s deliberately crashing the economy.

Reeves! It’s always a pleasure to see him preform this genera. Had the opportunity to see him twice at The Falcon in NY. Always an amazing experience. Enjoy!!

I’d make sure my dogs were safe and secure

Hilarious

That single is what instantly captivated me the very first time I heard it. From that moment on, I was a Cure fan for life. That song and image are instantly recognizable as The Cure. Robert always closes every setlist with Boys Don’t Cry. IMO, it’s not wasted and wouldn’t fit any album as a cover.

Absolutely! And I’m unapologetically childfree. They worry about declining birth rates without regard to why their actions and policies are causing people to rethink having children.

AZ is absolutely getting more liberal but it’s still an uphill battle with the large Mormon population. I’ll never go back but I hope my niece has a better future there. Just gotta get her through ASU before 🍊🤡 defunds her Pell grants.

Maybe there’s hope for my birth state

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last

This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.

The truth isn’t hostile or political. It’s the same as listing fees on airline tickets.
