I’m currently about 2/3 through Against The Day on audiobook. I have no idea what’s going on so I just kind of let it wash over me. The narrator is very good with voices.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Not to be a wide-eyed naΓ―f about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Elon Musk’s penis rocket and exploding car companies have been given $38 billion in government funding, but he’s cutting funding for children’s cancer research, gutting the VA’s suicide prevention hotline and letting palettes of desperately needed food expire because it’s β€œwasteful spending.”

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we would’ve spent that $$:

USAID has its flaws, like any govt agency, & they shud be fixed. But it's the backbone of US "soft power", helping billions with hunger, HIV, disaster relief & more. It also makes up a small % of our GDP compared to others. Weakening it only paves the way for China to expand its global influence

I thought this manner of determining conflicts of interest applied only to Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.

. @jahimes.bsky.social makes the case that when Donald Trump says something outrageous to get attention, it's because there's something else going on that he doesn't want to get attention.
