After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Once I kindly do the needful it's over for you heauxz

Don't cry Little Lupine

Finally at the "stuff in the ground" phase

I need to re read Great and Secret Show

What's your ballot like homie what are you into

"They were right about everything 👏👏👏" yeah except how to run a campaign oh well

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

I agree w this 100% but I also think "a felon shouldn't be president" is perfectly fine to say. Felons should have full lives and both legal and normative respect but excluding them from the presidency is fine. Other jobs, absolutely not but not everyone gets to be president

Bunch of plants, don't know where to plant them. Assumed I'd have figured out a garden bed protector but I haven't

yeah there were two scenarios where Trump didn’t become president given the scale of the anti-incumbent backlash in 2024: 1) biden stepped down early enough for a full primary season 2) Biden appoints an AG who isn’t garland and they appoint a special counsel 22 months before garland did

On today's podcast Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah said teams have told them they're not as high on Armand Membou as the media. Membou also only has one 30 visit that has been reported (Cowboys). This reeks of teams trying to keep their interest quiet.

are people really mad that David Hogg wants to primary the senile, useless democrats in office currently doing nothing to help anyone? is that what i'm reading rn?

Having a baby, pretty cool huh

👀🚨JICYMI: New Quinnipiac Poll: More Americans now disapprove of Trump on immigration by 50% to 45% (including 51% independents) MAJORITY of Americans now disapprove of Trump on deportations by 53% to 42% poll.qu.edu/poll-release... cc: @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social l

literally the first listing i clicked on zillow

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

after seeing all the praise for The Atlantic, it's important to remember the magazine drove away Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong and then hired Jonathan Chait late last year

First harvest! Kale and spinach

Original Blackthorne. Thought he was dead a long time ago! My mom loved him in Thorn Birds too

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

It's 5 pm It's Friday You know what that means...

Most of all he was my best friend And he's gone too soon

One dog humping the other, book and cardboard garbage strewn everywhere. Love my redneck life

I knew it! Grayson in The Pitt is the Claire's guy from ITYSL! The great Richard Wharton

Dark S2E5 An Endless Cycle Woo shit

Harry w a fresh kill. Warning very graphic

Moron!! Pax Americana is a jobs program for Natsec ghouls, nothing more. Instead of Japan and Korea just paying for their own military, we do and it trickles down to a few select DoD associated ramoras.

Got some smooth aster seeds, planted twelve and already two are germinating. Hope I can get a few to make it, would love to spread this around the backyard. Fall bloomer, shade tolerant

finally. we have redditors on bluesky
