I absolutely agree. If they want to endorse someone, go right ahead, but don't do it while being subsidized by MY tax dollars

They don't want you to read about how people fought for civil rights, probably because they don't want you to read about how to beat them

Wow. All but five states have lower GDP than the San Francisco Bay Area.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

The US once benefitted from autocrats chasing away scientists and academics from Europe, now somewhere else will benefit from autocrats doing the same thing in the US. Shame.

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices.

Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu.

Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

Apparently, the 6 figure salaries they're getting as gov't employees is "a small fraction." Am I the only one or does that seem to suggest that private companies are far less efficient, and gov't is MORE efficient if they can get the same "value" for less cost? (I'd argue these guys aren't a value)

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

Next SOU, the Dems should sneak in bluetooth speakers and just play recordings of GOP yells of "You lie!" "Liar!" and, if they can find appropriate times, "You put them there!" Keep switching which speaker is playing (with many hidden on the GOP side) and watch Trump fume at his own party's words.

Bluesky, why can't we delete a post? I saw a post on the War in Ukraine that had info I didn't know, so I went to repost it. As I did so, I noted the 'quote' option said something like it was disabled. Seconds later, I thought that could mean it was BS, but I can't delete it to prevent misinfo

This is such a core concept of our democratic system of government. They are our REPRESENTATIVES, not our leaders, not the people who tell US what to do. If they can't handle people saying "Your decisions are wrong," then quit the job.

Musk is starting his own payment system, but is trying to axe the fed dept that would prevent him from scamming consumers, and the Senate is trying to pass a bill that'll make it impossible for the CFPB to stop fraud. MAGA, are you going to actually admit you're pro-fraud now?
