A vote for Newsom is a vote for a man who will discard you rather than suffer the slightest political inconvenience.

One of the big reasons so many liberal orgs suck is that they’re more about β€œhow close are you to the Clintons/Obamas” w personnel than about β€œdo you have any idea how to be effective?”

Trump is using mass firings as a shutdown cudgel. Democrats aren’t flinching. The president reiterated the layoff threat Monday, but the hardball tactic isn't likely to break the impasse.

Democrats are not being useless push overs. I feel lost in this new world.

But, I don’t mind lol

See inside the new futuristic 'windowless' jet that a private aviation CEO is betting $6 billion on Flexjet CEO Michael Silvestro told Business Insider that the Jetsons-like aircraft with "smart windows" will attract clients seeking futuristic tech.

Windowless jets will have less drag, business reporters are sure to hype this thing up.

Small problem, if one can’t see a horizon that perfectly matches what your inner ear is telling your brain, your body tends to think it’s been poisoned and you will get air sickness.

I’m so shocked an anti LGBTQ hate group backed by some of the worst of America’s oligarchs is untruthful.

Seriously, The Advocate has been one of the few places reporting on this.

The idea that Weiss ragequit not knowing she’d get wingnut welfare is like saying you don’t know if the sun will come up tomorrow; maybe you technically have to wait to confirm it but you can make some assumptions in the meantime

At least for gay men, it’s a fun time.

You normally can keep looking good and have the energy to have fun all while actually making an at least somewhat decent income (by that I mean I was unemployed or nearly unemployed my whole 20s so maybe others have had difference experiences).

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder.

I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

What does a bubble this big mean?

Honestly, I don’t know. Like I think money will still exist after the LLM bubble pops but I can’t promise it.

I hope no one is over leveraged in the S&P 500.

Federal workers furloughed because of the shutdown have had their out of office messages changed without their consent to blame the Democrats.

Even though they didn’t do it, by not immediately resigning, they are active participants.

If you’re a federal employee, it’s time to resign.

In a nutshell: A jobs report discussing job losses might be a reflection of Trump terrorizing immigrants not employers shedding jobs.

AKA a worker flees the country and there is no new worker to replace them.

The U.S. is about to get much smaller and older.

Ahead of today’s jobs report, it’s important to remember that we might not be seeing true job losses but actually a declining workforce population.

Since March roughly 1.7 million foreign born workers left the country β€” that’s more people than who have entered the workforce.

Take our poll: Where do you stand on the plan to do away with property taxes in Florida? β€” The Palm Beach Post Gov. DeSantis is pushing a plan to either do away with property taxes altogether or significantly reduce them. Take our poll

Floridians can’t stop talking about doing away with property taxes.

Oddly they never discuss how ending property taxes basically means they will defund the police.

Sheriff and city policy budgets are out of control. It’s time to cut them down to size.

Pope Leo's critique of Trump ends honeymoon with conservative Catholics Pope Leo initially impressed conservative Catholics after his election in May as he embraced traditions shunned by his predecessor Pope Francis and steered clear of hot button social issues that divided the 1.4 billion-member Church.

I’m not a theologian but calling out the horrendous treatment of immigrants is a pretty normal thing for a Pope to do.

So how are so-call conservative Catholics offended by it?

Study: Miami Housing Market Bubble Set to Burst The warning follows a summer where Miami homeowners began delisting properties en masse, faster than anywhere else in the nation.

As a Miami area resident, I’ve kept an eye on home prices here.

It’s completely a bubble and it’s starting to burst. Everything is way over valued, rents are off too. Miami is overdue for a strong correction.

Home prices and rents here are about to tumble.

China to execute 11 leaders of mafia family running scam factories The Ming syndicate tricked thousands of migrant workers into working in fraud centres in slave-like conditions

In China, if business leaders, bankers, or billionaires commit serious crimes as part of running their business they are executed.

The U.S. legal and political systems should be taking notes.

Trump’s ICE Has Started Targeting Activists, Not Just Immigrants ICE demanded Meta hand over personal information attached to Instagram accounts that track immigration raids.

β€œAs predicted by many activists and civil rights advocates, ICE is increasingly becoming a force tasked with enforcing the political will of the administration and straying further and further from its original mission,” EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @Truthout.org.

Other examples:

Make SNAP essential and set a higher rate with fewer rules (without congress the White House must make the call right?)

Decide all SpaceX contracts void along with any other funding that might benefit Bezos, Zuck, or the rest of the gang.

Government shutdown 2025: A guide to what’s still open, what’s closed and what’s fuzzy While Social Security checks, mail and student loan bills will still be delivered, millions of workers are still set to suffer financial hardship.

At the end of the day, the OMB determines what is and is not essential during a shutdown.

Future Democratic presidents should use this as a way to enact their agendas.

Example: Instead of doing what Trump did and declare student loans essential, make them unenforceable and void.

The shutdown means one million people who serve in the U.S. military are working without pay.

How long can a regime go without paying its soldiers?

History tells us not very long.
