YouTube video by NBC News Trump-voting couple says they regret their vote after being stopped by Border Patrol

It is incredibly easy to sneer and jeer at trump voters who now regret their vote now that something bad happened to **them** — because or likely because of trump — but this man is talking here about the “shame” and “guilt” he feels so I don’t think people who are…

“Officer Rose, 33, had two children, and his wife is pregnant with a third. He was just a few weeks from his first anniversary with the department. He had graduated from training in March and had served in the U.S. Marines...”

Second time we’ve read about pregnant widows in two weeks.

If you're my age then your parents were probably forever prattling on about M*A*S*H.

I just listened to the movie's theme, "Suicide is Painless," for the first time. It is lyrical, as opposed to the instrumental version used for the television show.

And man what the fuck?

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

We are praying for the injured officer and the safety of our entire community. I’m committed to taking action as governor to keep Georgia safe from these senseless acts of gun violence.

There’s an active shooter at a building ancross the street from the main CDC HQ in Atlanta.

I just received a photo from inside a CDC office building of a window full of bulletholes.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that all these guys truly respect and care about women’s sports and female athletes, and totally aren’t just using them as a prop to stir up anger at trans people

I got a spam email about turning your law firm into a sellable asset.

If you law firm is a sellable asset, then your law firm is shit.

A firm's value is based upon the service provided by the professionals who work there.

A lawyer cannot ethically widgetize their business.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip
Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

JD Vance’s team had the army corps of engineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday, the Guardian has learned.

The request from the US Secret Service was made to “support safe navigation” of the US vice-president’s security detail for an August outing on the Little Miami River, according to a statement by the US army corps of engineers (USACE).

Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into.

One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.

What good is being VP if you can't abuse your power to have the Army Corps of Engineers making your kayaking trip more ideal by changing the waterflow of a lake?

the whole fucking point of the house of reps in the first place was to give the *people* a branch in the government, since the founders were worried about elitism and effects of equal state suffrage. setting aside that a 56% Trump state is not a “red” state,it literally doesn’t matter for the house!

Roswell's Mimosa Hall development draws criticism from former city leaders A letter to public officials calls for “independent, transparent, third-party audit of recent consulting contracts, land purchases, and capital allocations.”

Over the past two decades Roswell has changed from a traditional bedroom community suburb to something more akin to Decatur (vibrant downtown, great public amenities, etc.).

But it seems like every year some story pops up where the boomers are having a temper tantrum about a new idea or proposal.

Michael Thurmond would be 78 at the end of a first term as Governor and 82 at the of a second term.

And I'll give it to him, he is in great shape and sharp as a tack at 72 today.

But I am completely over living in a gerontocracy.
