Thanks for this.

Thanks for this.

High cruelty payoffs! That’s always the top concern for Republicans.

What is it lacking?

Plush carpet and air conditioning. No, it’s working fine — fun for me, and a handful of others don’t seem to mind.

That’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so…

Breathtakingly cheery headline there, Associated Press.

Came here to say exactly that, but you beat me to it and also linked to a solid source that’s new to me and goes into my regular surf cycle.

Medium has a paywall, which tends to keep me away, but Substack pays Nazis to post there. This makes the Substack platform distasteful for those who dislike fascists.

Makes sense. Thanks for thinking it through for me. (:

Why does the Institute of Peace have a gun safe?

These are not ‘detainees’. The word is prisoners.

An internal memo circulated at the Social Security Administration stated that the agency is considering adding another step to battle fraud…

Nope. Bullshit. None of this is about battling fraud, and anyway ,Social Security is about the cleanest, most fraud-free agency possible. Over 99% accuracy. The claims of rampant fraud are just more Republican lies.

25th Amendment, babe.

I’m not lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or questioning, but I’ve been to Pride events in San Francisco, and a few other cities, because they’re fun and inspiring and subversive! Pre-corporate, Pride was about announcing yourself and being yourself, and I don’t know what the heck Comcast or Anheuser-Busch adds to that, beyond muddying the event by making it about cable TV or beer or something. My straight gut says, going without corporate sponsorships will make the parades and parties more fun.

Exactly and it’s astounding — no Dems have filed impeachment papers against Trump in 2025. Al Green has said he will, but he hasn’t yet, so the total is still zero. Infuriating.

Despite the rhetoric, the Trump administration has so far not openly defied a court order…

I guess nobody at AP reads the news.

Poor polling only matters if there’ll be elections.

For prompt service, please take a number and wait in line.

25 Trump, then 25 Vance.

That certainly seems to be the plan.
