What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
A great opportunity thanks to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milo Minderbinder
Maybe so BUT obviously the IRGC will crumble when they see the President's 346th Truth Social post threatening to do what he's already been doing.
Put a banner on every rural hospital that closes
Sorry, the money had to go to Trump's son-in-law
Reading about the so-called “first fascist,” the French Marquis de Mores. A police report on his arrest in 1890s called him “a hothead & an adventurer, someone with all the qualities to reach very high or very low.” My 1st thought is: better caliber of writer amongst the cops of those days…
Two weeks in and he’s begging for France and China to save him like a dog.
I love it when a museum has an exhibit that's just a lil guy
And people say that philosophy isn't useful.
…telling us we are old and yesterday’s news, it’s your turn
People in my generation had to go off to die in the Middle East for a shambolically run war launched by an idiot woefully unpopular Republican president who won the popular vote on reelection, presided over a destroyed economy, and who can’t form sentences ever in public, so since you Zoomers kept…
Ok Gen Z off to Iran you go
The SAVE plan, which allowed student loan borrowers to pay back their loans based on their income, is dead after the Trump administration refused to defend it in court.
Now, monthly payments will spike by as much as 400%.
Trump is making the affordability crisis worse by the day.
It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!"
Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.
There must be an absolute federal prohibition on law enforcement using facial recognition to make arrests.
A few years ago, there was an internet project to find your “twin,” where people could locate unrelated doppelgängers. Facial recognition alone does not identify an individual person.
"While the U.S. remains firm in its air dominance, Iran’s drone campaign has forced the targeted countries to use expensive munitions for interceptions."
“It’s kind of like the ultimate symbol of asymmetric warfare.
Good story from @nbcnews.com on Iran's drone attacks.
2006 slop.
No one cares if you were in the Army or Marines.
You need to be able to use complete sentences, not be a crypto shill, not sign on to the latest "tax break" mania gripping the party, you should despise liars and cheats, and you shouldn't care about attending the right cocktail parties.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.
ALERT: #GasPrices appear to be rising to $4.69/gal in #Phoenix and to $4.19/gal in #Tucson today. This is a price jump from the last price cycle due to the Iran situation.
👇🎯 You know, the ones that Democrats passed, & literally <halved> child poverty, before everyone lost their stuff about temporary single digit inflation, memory-holed who (the GOP) was solely responsible for blocking their extension, & started pretending Barack Obama was more liberal than Joe Biden.
One of the betting markets will outright buy a news source with the specific intent of manipulating their own markets.
To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines.
The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.
Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

“I’m not saying Trump is Stalin but it’s very much the culture Stalin had around him where he humiliated everyone around him by making them look and be faintly ridiculous.”

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
the late '80s and early '90s had so much ninja in the culture, but let me tell you: the ninja brand is still strong with the youths
Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.
Dems should pledge to sign and ratify the ICC treaty that Clinton signed but W (smartly for his ppl) refused to push thru.
Make it clear we will arrest these ppl… and ship them someplace no future vice-signaling GOP Pres’s pardon power can reach.
