That's a good look while Federal employees miss paychecks. Why was Eric T in the room? New Rolex division in his dad's name?

According to the Financial. Times, between 2021 and 2024, Kraft Heinz increased global prices by 26 percent. Competing with major increases in rent, insurance premiums, taxes, medical bills, tuitions, utilities. We didn't lose our appetites. We're trying not to go hungry.

I get that and have found it useful. But sometimes, they can't share a goal if their heart is locked up with hate. Believing that the goal, when attributed to self, is fair and pure; when attributed to the other, is wicked.

Stock oprions work if you're already making ends meet. But if you have looming debt, a few thank you's WITH an $8,000 raise to allow you to live debt free
for a few years is a GIANT motivator.

Where? Field trip!

Not at all. A major part of the Dem"s healthcare fight is to save rural medical clinics and hospitals, which depend heavily on Medicaid and subsidized healthcare payouts. Democrats are also fighting against new tariffs that make it too costly to build new assembly plants in the midwest.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice.

He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education.

What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

Could cost you your life when it's your turn in that ambulance or stuck in that fire.

$45 Billion for 100,000 new prison beds = $450,000 per bed. It doesn't add up. What kind of beds are they getting, gilded flying canopy beds? Or are they getting $60 beds and lining the pockets of private equity prison moghuls?

Not just extra doses of Christianity. Oklahoma was also instructed to teach the lie that the 2020 elec tion was rigged. So here's a teaching aid for high school teachers, about how it clearly wasn"t.

Whatever Moscow has on him isn't as damning as the poop video.

Atlanta showed out.

So don't report the words coming out of his mouth either. No photos. No proclamations. None of his accusations. Just what they do. Not what they say. Until they return your credentials. Let them yell into the void.

I asked #AI why we are developing AI for tasks requiring empathy when humans do that so much better. And shouldn't we use AI to analyze data heavy problems? I like the answer, but judging from my customer service calls, it's not accurate!

These are the thoughts I have in predawn hours.

In general, people who walk their dog 🐕, not just let them out, people who don't chain their dog in the yard, are people who are better able to manage their emotions and put things they see or hear on the daily into perspective.

All 1,966 Palestinian prisoners scheduled for release today have boarded buses at Israeli detention facilities, Reuters reports.

@barbmcquade.bsky.social where did the WaPo get this and whose eyes was it meant for?

Is it good news? What if you got cancelled. Would you want the option to sue?

We need to tax the rich for sure. Equally crucial, we need to bring wages up. When you're poor, what's the use of subsidized daycare and free state university tuition if you can't afford to have a child? Minimum hourly, $19, minimum salary, $62K.

Talk about how we got here. All the missed opportunities to limit pardon numbers, enact campaign finance reform, expand SCOTUS, etc. Fails.

Two mass shootings this week. 7 more people died. More than a dozen were injured. Did even hear about on the news.

$45 Billion for 100,000 new prison beds = $450,000 per bed. It doesn't add up. What kind of beds are they getting, gilded flying canopy beds? Or are they getting $60 beds and lining the pockets of private equity prison moghuls?

That's gonna be a cute precedent. Who else wants to sue them?

I can't keep up with all the mass shooting news. Condolences to the families. This is beyond terrible. I guess I'll just re-post this every day.

America (Estados Unidos) came SO CLOSE to Not This. Think about it. Outlawing mega-donors. Faster indictment process. Aggresively attacking Russ elec propaganda. Voting for her. Any one of those.

@keithboykin.bsky.social "it can't happen here" I was looking for the second biggest one (after pardoning those violent...)
But you left it out.
▶️ Kidnapping fathers and mothers.

Self-inflicted? You have a sniper, probably masked, on a rooftop, who supposedly didn't hit his target. What's the motivation? I'll wait for the coroner's report.

There are a lot of smart GenZ out there, who are fearless, adventurous, empathic, and can create anything. I love them ❤️
The only thing they can't do is face to face conversations. It's weird to watch, 100% they'd rather talk into a camera.
I'm generalizing here. Your kid might be nothing like this.

A photo of one of only 4 albino Puma's in the world, born with a genetic mutation in captivity. She's rare but healthy.

#Caturday #Cats
Two years ago in (July) this albino #Puma was born at the Thomas Belt Zoo in Nicaragua. She's female, rare, healthy & the first born in captivity. Her name is "Itzae." She's the 4th Puma w/this genetic mutation in the world.
