AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Hungary banned anything that โ€œpromotes homosexuality,โ€ which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

If I'm running a news room now, I assign everyone who has done piece on Biden's final-years fitness-to-govern, and have them apply same standards here.

(Once heard Bill Clinton give 45-minute ad-hoc on what diff *counties* in Arkansas had done in Civil War. Trump doesn't know WHAT YEAR it was.)

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out.

The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. Sheโ€™s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

โ€œThereโ€™s no recording allowed out here.โ€ I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him donโ€™t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nationโ€™s history.

PADILLA: โ€œIf this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.โ€

I was interviewing someone for a job today. When I asked if he had any questions at the end, he asked me about my Salesforce Developers Podcast appearance from almost 3 years ago. Gotta respect that level of research for an interview.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

I was honestly shocked by how good SM2 was. My review is the only reason not to play it is if you hate the setting, because it does Warhammer so well. And yup, the games have very similar yet distinct vibes

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isnโ€™t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

She should be the one in jail for criminal incompetence. Much like most of the Trump administration. And many would be, if the MAGA Congress had a spine, a soul or a brain.

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is? The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.

โ€œHabeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.โ€

Expedition 33 is a brilliant twist on the JRPG genre.

It's a shit platforms.

Game designers, if you want platform challenges then code a fucking platformer.
