Minnesota seeks to impose social media tax “It’s time that we recognize and admit the fact that there is no tax, there is no fee we can place on business that ultimately will not be paid out of the pockets of our consumers,” said Sen. Bill Weber, R-Luverne." kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the *most* corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

Expand school to year round. I'm sure there are educational needs that are not being met. Specifically civics and critical thinking. Plus, these hourly workers would probably rather work than draw half wages. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Elon Musk gives me hope. We don't have to be business smart to become a billionaire. www.reddit.com/r/news/comme...

This is insane! every last bit of this is loony. www.huffpost.com/entry/paula-... Humanity will never survive without universal equality. That means NO ONE submits to anyone...ever. ...also...Tammy Faye Baker reincarnated? We need to put all the money into education, right now! Damn!

When you find a new song to obsess over and listen to exclusively for the next 10 days

Johnson's top essential program is the TCFB Initiative. (TCFB= tax cuts for billionaires)

1. How is a U.S. company allowed to employ an 'undocumented' immigrant? 2. How is there a tax record? 3. If an immigrant is issued an SSN for tax purposes, aren't they now 'documented'? Are wealthy business owners exploiting the rules? Shouldn't Congress fix this? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Confusing: "the US National Toxicology Program stated with “moderate” confidence that exposure to elevated fluoride levels could reduce IQ in children" www.vox.com/health/40753... Yet they want people with little education that are easily manipulated.

I would be very wary regarding any crypto project related to the person they call POTUS. #scam www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Extortion. Israel is negotiating with financial terrorists...and losing. "Israel vows to ax trade deficit in bid to lift US tariffs" www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Hello Wisconsin!

Cod liver oil and steroids to save the day...Not! "Texas' measles outbreak isn't slowing down. How can that change?" www.npr.org/2025/04/08/n...

This guy... real piece of work. "China condemns JD Vance’s ‘peasants’ jibe" www.politico.eu/article/chin...

'Supreme' is defined as "greatest in degree, quality, or intensity" Perhaps 'Supreme' is a misnomer regarding this court. "Supreme Court lets Trump move forward with firing thousands of federal workers" www.npr.org/2025/04/08/n...

Fox News did this to you. "Trump Voters Suddenly Shocked at How Badly He Screwed Them" newrepublic.com/article/1936...

I'm ashamed to be American for dozens of reasons...probably more.

Perhaps Trump will visit Tehran to negotiate... ;-) "Trump says U.S. will have direct talks with Iran about nuclear program" www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Pretty much sums up what the world can expect from Trump. "Trump doesn't give Israel a break on tariffs despite Netanyahu visit" www.axios.com/2025/04/07/t...

WTF? "Mother and three children arrested by ICE in border czar's New York town released from detention" border czar = meat head www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

This is the guy in charge of deciding if you get rescued from a foreign prison. How does he sleep at night? "Chief Justice Roberts pauses deadline for return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador" apnews.com/article/supr...

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

No shit! Wall Street leaders warn of harsh economic consequences from Trump's tariffs. www.npr.org/2025/04/07/n...

Loving my Carrollton, Texas library!

I'm guessing these people don't get paid a living wage. 2 US border inspectors are charged with taking bribes to wave in people without documents. www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/u...

Who better to sus out a scam, than a scammer? US defends tariffs on remote island of penguins and seals. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My rural Internet price keeps going up. My new bill is $69.99 for 12Mb DSL. It was $34.99 in 2020. I might not complain as much if I got something for my 2x price increase. But absolutely nothing has changed, except the price. #frontierinternet #frontier

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
