One of the most important model city-building projects in the world. “Initially, everyone thought it would cause gridlock. But people adapted. Now we can’t imagine the highway ever being here.” The fantastic people-place that replaced an elevated highway, transforming a city & improving traffic.

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.

Just sitting here thinking about those “price of eggs” Trump voters who are gonna get a multimillionaire Treasury Secretary who supports giving even more tax cuts to the super rich but does not support increasing the federal minimum wage. Great job. Bravo. You fucking idiots.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Karine Jean-Pierre gives her final White House press briefing. "I would not be here today if it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me. I have stood on their shoulders." I'm gonna miss KJP.

Apparently, Mike Flynn is not tired of losing lawsuits against me yet. floridapolitics.com/archives/715...

My pledge from now on: I don't care whether someone has an (R) or (D) attached to their name; if they are an elected official & dropping the ball, I'm going to be on their ass. It's time we see ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS as people to be held to high standards.1/2

President Biden, laid it down: - 18 year term limit for SCOTUS - No stock trading for Congress - No immunity for Presidents for crimes they commit in office, because that's bullshit THAT PART! 🔥🔥🔥

*Apart from everything else* ("apart from that, Mrs Lincoln...") Hegseth's answers to wiffle-ball-soft questions from Repubs make clear that HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING about actual job of SecDef, or major choices, programs, dilemmas, coming up. Then there is everything else

This billboard says it all.

Sen. Reed confronts Hegseth after he claims 'DEI' doesn't put 'meritocracy first': "All of your public comments don't talk meritocracy. They talk about liberal democratic efforts destroying the military ... That's a political view. Your goal, as I see it emerging, is to politicize the military."

Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen points out that Pete Hegseth couldn't be bothered to meet with her prior to the Senate confirmation hearing and that he has a responsibility to meet with both sides of the isle, not just Republicans. 🍿

In other travesties, today is Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing for Secretary of Marginalizing Women in the Military.

U.S. California Republicans in Congress fled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as Los Angeles continued to burn. They attended parties with Trump while people tried to save their homes. This is what rule under oligarchy looks like. #LAfires

More than half of voters in the U.K. think that Elon Musk is having a negative effect on British politics. They don't want his South African azz meddling in their affairs. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

JUST IN: Another team of Mexican firefighters has landed in LA to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what TRUMP did

Here’s my challenge to Mel Gibson regarding the four friends with Stage IV cancer who were “cured” using Ivermectin and Fenbendazole. Convince those four to reveal their medical records, showing: 1/4

Oh myyy, a million followers here at The Good Place! That’s an unexpected milestone, especially in my 88th time going ‘round the sun. Let’s make the world a bit of a better place together, shall we?

Biden inherited a flaming wreck from Trump. Trump is inheriting a soft landing from Biden.

listen guys, we can't invade canada. we need canada. who are we going to pretend to be when when we travel in europe if not canadian?

Just now in presser on SoCal wildfires, FEMA Regional Administrator advises for those affected please register for assistance these ways: * Go to disasterassistance.gov * Download the FEMA app * Call (800) 621-3362

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires. In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought. Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit. IN ONE MONTH. Bish needs to sit TF down.

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

My message to Zuck

Welcome to idiocracy.

1. Zuckerberg announced he was getting rid of Meta's fact-checking program, one of several moves designed to curry favor with Trump Fact-checking itself is important but Meta's program was very bad. It was always just a PR operation. When it stopped serving that purpose, it was killed

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

Today I proudly took the oath of office to represent the remarkable people of Maryland’s 8th district. As the new Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee, I will defend constitutional democracy and freedom and champion the common good. Thank you for this high honor.

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024. If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"
