What are the best bang for the buck for cities that is often first on the chopping block? Sidewalks seem too of list. Others?

The last time (1600s) a King of England had the power to implement taxes (tariffs) without Parliament's approval, he literally lost his head (Charles I)

George III didn't tax colonists, Parliament did

Trump's tarrif taxes need congressional approval.

This is seriously one of those things that probably blows the minds of most people outside of the United States.

A “swearing in” should obviously be completely ceremonial, and should have no legal weight at all.

THE ELECTION GIVES THE WINNER THE ROLE, not the Speaker.

It really makes no sense.

What are republicans going to run on in 2026?

Shutting down government, firing workers, protecting pedophiles, taking away healthcare, starving people, increasing inflation and detaining citizens after beating them up? 😒

Just think, one year ago we could’ve avoided all this chaos but 60% of white men and 54% of white women picked the felon over the prosecutor.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Did moving the clocks back an hour hurt the Lions and help the Vikings? Seems like something to study when teams from different time zones play. Go @detroitlions.bsky.social !

What he said: 💯 🎯

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

How is this even enforceable or legal? Cruel indeed.

I’m in the stage of grief where one criticizes the winning team’s generally bad city planning. #WorldSeries

The humor, the clarity, the razor-sharp assessment by Obama that it’s all a distraction from their ongoing efforts to make life worse for everyday Americans. More please, President Obama.

Let the campaigning begin.

JD’s biggest problem is that he is JD Vance and when he talks he is repugnant. And he’s the 4th Chipmunk.

Oh my. I’ll be voting for anyone NOT authoritarian. Full stop. 🛑 Voters holding out for perfect candidates aren’t voters, they’re non-participants.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!

Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

The Trump regime is purely about grift and corruption, that’s the driving common denominator. Is everything else simply a byproduct in a campaign of disinformation and distraction?

Children.😭😡

The 6-year-old said he saw “snipers on the roof ready to shoot our cars.”

The 8-year-old said, “I saw soldiers and was so scared I started shaking.”

The 14-year-old said, “They put a gun to my face. Then they pointed it at my mom’s head and said they’d blow her head off.”

why not randomized borders for congressional districts. Plop in population, program to favor straight borders based on streets, and hit the button. Randomize every ten years. Don’t we have that computing power?

Reminding myself, it can’t happen because of one human or even 12. It takes countless of people keeping their heads down and going along with crazy. Where are the whistleblowers?

The cover they tried to bury. 🤭

Release The Epstein Files. Now‼️

How can charges be brought against those soldiers “just following orders” in the Caribbean? i know no one wants to do it, but this (and a 1000 other things) is so messed up.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

These. Were. Men. In. Their. 30s.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Portland continues to amaze me 👏

I’m a patriotic American, so I’m proudly anti-fascist. How about you? 🇺🇸

If you’re a ridiculously awful and complicit newspaper these days, you characterize the difference between blatant and manipulative lies weaponized for fascist and political violence purposes, and the truth, as “different views.”

Full support. But deep down my claustrophobia is triggered
