I need this monopoly version...

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

BREAKING: There is yet another widespread outage of X.

New meme alert

Federal workers are being indiscriminately fired – and they know firsthand what’s at stake, not just for their own lives, but for Americans who rely on vital federal services.   We held a press conference with SW Ohioans so they could speak out and share their stories. 🧵🎥👇🏼

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

A record number of Americans applied for British citizenship in the first three months of this year, and for the right to live and work in Britain indefinitely, according to official data.

Heaven is where the cooks are French, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.

This is a wild level of retaliation against blue cities, aiming to hurt small business owners throughout the cities by stripping them of easy access to the SBA. There will also be some kind of "citizenship verification provision" added to all SBA applications. More red tape for American businesses.

Funny, I thought Christians like Mike Johnson weren’t supposed to tell lies…🤷‍♂️😉

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

Wow. Not often you see a resignation letter like this.

I did a Facebook post about this, #auspol. The tl;dr version is that if the teals want to fundraise like a political party, they should just become a political party: www.facebook.com/share/18LvMD...

On left: Acting Deputy A.G. Emil Bove memo orders firing FBI officials because they worked on Jan 6th cases On right: As SDNY co-chief, Bove "gave strong, direct encouragement to the line prosecutors to aggressively pursue the investigation, legal process, support FBI," former colleague tells NPR

The pattern is astounding in its consistency: They have no interest in the common good. They will never build, they will only subtract. They are incapable of creating anything meaningful, beautiful, or life-giving. They only know how to destroy. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/defeating-...

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

Holy crap !!!

Eva Narcissus Boyd, known as Little Eva, poses with producer Al Nevins, King, Goffin and producer Don Kirshner. King and Goffin asked Boyd, who was their teenage babysitter, to record “The Loco-Motion.” The song vaulted to the top of the singles charts in 1962. #blackhistorymonth 📷 PoPsie Randolph

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

If you don’t believe this costing, do your own maths. What do you pay for a dine-in, sit down business lunch for four people? What would that *cost the taxpayer*, 5 days a week for 46 weeks of the year, #auspol? The ABS lists 2,662,998 actively trading businesses in Australia as of June 2024!

Please read this @hcrichardson.bsky.social. If you are frightened for American and concerned, you should be. I am finding it hard to believe that good people who I know actually intended to vote for this.

‼️The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers’ orders. The Georgia-based chain is adding a 50-cent charge per egg because of the “nationwide rise in cost of eggs,” according to signs posted at its restaurants. 🥚

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

@raskin.house.gov: "We're already hearing now, with [Trump] pulling the plug on USAID, that China is moving in-- to say that 'they don't want to help you, but we're happy to help you.'"

You anti-Kamala Palestine supporters really showed her.

Do they need to kick these fucking doors in???

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Some Services that have been shut down have opened up alternative accounts. Alt Fish and Wildlife Service @altfws.bsky.social Alt DepartmentOfInterior @altdoi.bsky.social Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social Please give them some follows so they know we still appreciate their service.

The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.

A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school. Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nation’s health agencies.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or scream... or all of the above.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh wait.

"We're going to dynamite the US economy because Canada should have given NATO a few more dollars" is so simple-minded. And, BTW, JD Vance famously wrote about his mother's problems with drugs. She didn't get them from Canada. She stole them from her American patients at the hospital she worked at.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

BREAKING: David Hogg, a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting just been elected Vice Chair of the DNC. CONGRATS!

Going well, Donnie… For Pete’s Sake !!!

A second plane has gone down in 3 days. Seems like things were safer when DEI was still in place.
