So not only taxation without representation, taxation without public knowledge.

Trump Should Not Try to Revive Reagan’s Dream National missile defense is still impossibleβ€”and expensive.

"Pete Hegseth doesn’t want to talk about his β€œhugely ambitious” missile defense project.

Maybe that’s because β€œall anyone knows about Golden Dome is that it will be an expensive, all-azimuth defense against everything that flies,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:"

After meeting with local vendors and business owners, my office reached out to @nycsanitation.bsky.social about the need for more trash cans along Roosevelt Ave.

Thanks to their quick response, 51 trash cans were installed! Grateful for their partnership in keeping our community clean!

Airman arrested for death that prompted Air Force-wide safety review of Sig M18 Airman Brayden Lovan, 21, died on July 20, 2025 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. His death remains under investigation.

Last month the Air Force ordered pauses, safety inspections, of the M18 pistol after an airman died. Now an airman has been arrested "on suspicion of making a false official statement, obstruction of justice, and involuntary manslaughter.” Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/air-for...

Trump administration seeks $1 billion settlement from UCLA, a White House official says A White House official says the Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles.

The most racist administration since Jefferson Davis is just going around the country saying, "Give us money or we'll tell people you hate the Jews."

Give me a fucking break.

The mysterious 'dark comets' prowling our Solar System These strange objects could explain how water arrived on Earth, but may also be a previously unrecognised threat to our planet. Now, a spacecraft is headed towards one to investigate.

Germany to stop arms sales to Israel that could be used in Gaza after takeover plan approved - live updates Gazans say they fear more destruction and displacement, while Israeli hostages' families say their loved ones are

The AI was created by the parents so... I get it. I don't want to blame them for how they manage their grief.

It just doesn't seem very healthy to me.

Hegseth is from Minnesota, a state that provided thousands of troops to the Union to stamp out the Confederacy.

I, as a white Southerner, think there should be a monument to Minnesota for kicking my ancestors' asses.

The reason the Brooke Shields jeans ad was controversial was because she was 15 FUCKING YEARS OLD.

The reason the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad is controversial is because MAGA is all "hell yeah, the well-endowed blue-eyed blonde has great 'genes.'"

That says more about them than the ad.

This is a good thread for clarification and somehow makes the original story worse.

Annabelle doll bought by star after previous owner dropped dead Comedian Matt Rife has been warned of impending danger after he acquired the world's most haunted doll and announced his intentions to display the infamous item.

I was only vaguely aware of Matt Rife, so I tried watching one of his specials.

Look, the Warrens were frauds through and through, but that doll is definitely going to murder this goober.

Two things happened today: I was really sick and my new Xbox was delivered. I took a picture of it sitting on the couch still in the shipping box.

So, if my boss asks any questions...

"I was so sick, I just brought it inside and went back to bed."

Better than a doctor's note.

Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says possible takeover of Gaza is a decision "only the Israelis can make" In a wide-ranging interview with CBS News, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said it'll be up to the Israeli government to decide whether to fully take over the Gaza Strip.

Not sure, Mike. I think there's a lot of people who have a say in this. They've just been starved to the point of inability to speak.

Any kid interested in comics this will kill it for them. The rest will dabble and move on to the next ai bauble as soon as they’ve made the same generic pap as everyone else.

Looking back, maybe making this guy the icon of hard work and never sacrificing your ideals wasn't completely thought out.

I think I saw this yesterday but overlooked who it was. We made him an icon of working hard and never compromising and... maybe that was premature on our parts.

Trump set to announce initial deal to end conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia President Trump plans to announce a pact for peace between two former Soviet republics, Azerbaijan and Armenia, at the White House on Friday.

Not that I believe a word of this, but it's going to piss off Cenk and the rest of the Young Turks.
