i truly hope a hollywood script writer is taking note of the admin's absurdities
I think it's wonderful of the Trump administration to show their support for the bravery, heart, & tenacity of Epstein's victims who will be at the US Capitol during the military flyover. Because I'm sure that's why it would be scheduled at the same time. š
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: ā¢admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states ā¢abolish ICE ā¢grant citizenship to any immigrant ā¢disband the 5th Circuit ā¢expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
maybe it's Guillani's prize, which is likely in exchange for him keeping his mouth shut

Cutting ACA subsidies is going to be a disaster for working class Americans and will lead to a massive future healthcare crisis, if allowed to go forward. And it's 100% the GOP's fault, and, in fact, it's by design.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get careāand they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

It's so weird how Greenwald and Nate Silver and the likeāwho aren't even hereākeep insisting that Bluesky is pro-DNC, when I've yet to see anyone here ever say anything nice about the DNC at all. Also, evaporating? Lol. Bluesky now sends WAY more traffic to @techdirt.com than Twitter *ever* did.

It's an honor to earn the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic Party and the elected officials who fight for this borough every day. Families in the Bronx are being crushed by the affordability crisis. As Mayor, Iāll deliver for them and all New Yorkers.
These pleas for money have become routine, unfortunately, but the bottom line is that Meduza needs nearly to double its support base over the next few months, or it will cease to exist as it has for a decade. Without this dramatic donation growth, the Meduza you know goes away.

Here is another example: lots of data suggesting that right wing terrorism is a bigger threat in recent years. But Musk stepped in to ensure that anyone who uses Grok is told the opposite. X is a misinformation cesspool *by design.*
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Let's get this judge's decision right. It's not saying the Trump administration just happened to violate the law. It's that they *knew* they were breaking the law but did it anyway. @notus.org: www.notus.org/courts/judge...
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I know itās a subtle distinction that most mainstream media publications will elide but technically Judge Breyer found that the Trump administrationās *use* of the military was illegal Trumpās legal authority to *deploy* the guard in CA is a separate question thatās pending before the 9th Cir.

Youāre right, but also BlueSky wasnāt designed for extreme decentralisation, but to offer credible exit. @rudyfraser.com has already achieved this. If bsky becomes hostile, blacksky already provides a fully independent pds, relay, and app view. And he did it with next to no funding.

Look, obviously the announcement today is going to be something horrible and stupid, like an invasion of Chicago or a bullshit indictment of some Democrat. Heāll slur his way through it and leave. So tamp down that hate boner.

This isn't about Bluesky itself; it's a test balloon. Silver is testing here whether he can give the Right a new word for wOkE since they ran it into the ground so hard people are using it for franchise rebrands they don't like.
