Peace now

Has this been just a myth that Elon Musk is a genius and we have this problem of translating or interpreting wealth to be the greatest metric of intellect or success?

@wkamaubell.bsky.social says, "yes, next question!"

this would be active duty US troops deployed indefinitely on US streets?

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

On the morning of June 18, 2025, Hernandez Viramontes was working at a car wash in Orange County, where he has worked for approximately ten (10) years, when immigration agents arrived. Id. $ 148. During this visit, the agents did not identify themselves. Id. 9 149. Agents asked Hernandez Viramontes whether he was a citizen, and he replied yes and explained that he was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico. Id. 9 151. They asked for an ID, which he provided. Id. Agents then explained that his ID was not enough and because he did not have his passport, they were taking him. Id. Agents placed Hernandez Viramontes in a vehicle and transported him away. Id. 4 152. During this time, Hernandez Viramontes did not know whether they were going to take him to a detention center. Id. Agents verified his citizenship and, about twenty minutes later, brought him back to the car wash. Id. $ 153. When agents brought Hernandez Viramontes back to the car wash, they did not apologize. Id. 4 154. Shortly after agents returned Hernandez Viramontes to the car wash, yet another group of agents raided the carwash again. Id. 9 155.

One of the plaintiffs is a U.S. citizen working at a car wash that has been raided by Border Patrol multiple times. He gave them his ID but they demanded a passport.

Because he didn’t have one, they detained him and drove him to a different location to check his status.

Old story by at least 3 years. Exposed before today. Why did she wait until now?

Removing the flags of Arizona's 22 sovereign tribes from the Phoenix VA is an affront to the service & sacrifice of Native veterans.

Vaccine skeptic hired to head federal study of immunizations and autism A long-discredited researcher and vaccine skeptic will conduct a government study on whether vaccines cause autism.

Oh good! While Trump & Elon cut lifesaving research, they’re going to put our very limited federal resources towards studying the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism.

These people are doing less CANCER RESEARCH to waste your taxpayer dollars on total bunk.

Former Never Trumpers—and even some Democrats—are suggesting Donald Trump deserves another chance and some optimism in his second term. @ayman.msnbc.com and his panel disagree.

For those keeping score, Trump should’ve been prosecuted by DOJ in 2017 for his crimes with Russia to become president in 2016, convicted by the Senate in Impeachment #1 for extorting Zelensky and in Impeachment #2 for trying to overturn the 2020 election, and prosecuted sooner by Garland’s DOJ.

Trump asks the Supreme Court to delay the start of the TikTok ban President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a "political resolution" to the issue.

Trump should butt out of TikTok case. US has one president at a time.

Democrats Lost the Propaganda War The party used up about $5 billion on political ads in 2024. There’s a better way.

Just read this by @ryanlcooper.com. It made me think and I did resonate with a lot of it. There are so many hot takes on why Harris lost / Trump won and 99% of them don’t resonate with me. This one (mostly) did. Recommend.

KTM is, hands down, one of the best congressional reporters out there. She’s always chasing the stories that matter that everyone else has overlooked in their focus on the immediate.

Donald Trump’s Christmas wishes are the fantasies of a senile old man.

Bro needs to go into a home already and I hope Justin Trudeau points out he didn’t win 50% of the votes and had the 4th lowest margin of victory in a long time.

Elon is going to war with the encyclopedia

We also have a HUGE national shortage of construction workers, agricultural workers and food processors, landscapers, and hospitality workers. But he wants all of them all deported as not useful, while justifying migrants in his industries.

Dear POTUS and FLOTUS, wishing
you both a joyful and peaceful Christmas season. May this holiday bring warmth, love, and cherished moments with family and friends. Your service and dedication to the nation are deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for your leadership.

From lettuce to cilantro to broccoli, Yuma County produces many of the leafy green vegetables consumed in the U.S. during winter months. Farmers there rely on the nearby Colorado River, but with drought and a changing climate, they've had to adapt.

Sorry Netflix. Lamar and Derrick aren’t your huckleberries. Enjoy your weird cake.
