Sections of the U.S. Constitution Missing from Government Website Articles I, Sections 9 and 10 are inaccessible on Congress-run portal, raising concerns over transparency and public access.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitutionโ€”which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpusโ€”have disappeared from Congressโ€™s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Two things that shouldnโ€™t be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great.

Keep โ€™em sick.
Keep โ€™em locked up.
keep the checks coming.

Juxtaposition of two โ€œnewsโ€ articles in my notifications today. The first one is how Medics are fainting from hunger in Gaza. The second is a writer making the case for why lunch is the best meal of the day. My god.

These are not strays.

Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

So they want you to buy American grown tomatoes? Meanwhile, today they were arresting farm workers at a California tomato farm.

โ€œGet your hands off of him! You donโ€™t even have a warrant for him.โ€

Trumpโ€™s masked Gestapo invades a surgical center to grab an innocent landscaper as medical staff tell him to leave their private facility.

A lawless regime.

โšก๏ธNEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the โ€œSTOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACTโ€ โ€” requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves.

As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

โ€œWar itself is, of course, a form of madness. Itโ€™s hardly a civilized pursuit. Itโ€™s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.โ€

The hypocrisy of politicians to attempt to swiftly protect themselves from the threat of gun violence, when they could have done something to prevent over 2,000 children in the U.S. being killed by guns annually, (nearly 50k total gun deaths yearly) is sickening.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Does that sound fair to you?

This is disgusting. Allowing a draft dodger to remove 1,000 servicepeople who, unlike him, were brave enough to serve. Just because our Christian Nationalist Supreme Court says it is OK to base the right to serve on *Donald's* bigotry instead of *their* ability to serve. Disgraceful.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.
