It's not a detention center it's just a place we detain people against their will.

So follow the law is out.

Shameful.

Mark this day. So much going on ... but when crypto inevitably crashes, the Democratic Party will be wholly complicit in the poverty and suffering that results.

A dark day in American history just got worse. We will all pay for this folly.

Again: Emil Bove said this was election interference. Now McLaughlin has joined in that crime.

Senate Democrats know the so-called GENIUS bill will wreak havoc on the US and the global economy, but can't be bothered to use their leverage to get it right.

Maybe show some concern over Section 9 of the so-called GENIUS Act, Senator.

Back at work?

The possibilities of chaos laid out in this essay are precisely why I have been sending comments to @markwarner.bsky.social. He simply does not care. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Terrifying. The last thing we need is creating greater potential for a national or global financial crisis.

As a constituent, I have sent comments on the so-called GENIUS Act to @markwarner.bsky.social - before and after his disastrous cloture vote. Recently I pointed to Section 9, which pushes stablecoin holders to the front of the line in case of default. 1/

Agatha Christie's Hjerson. Utterly engrossing and sublime.

Farcical if it weren't so reprehensible. Though we can say this about so many things these days.

"'If Dems bail on [the GENIUS Act], they will get 0 dollars going forward,' said Avichal Garg, a managing partner at the venture capital firm Electric Capital, which focuses on digital asset technology like cryptocurrency. 'It would be political suicide for them not to support it.'"

It's coming. Mask up - especially indoor congregate settings.

Debased and degenerate conduct.

PLEASE STOP USING AI GENERATED ART TO ILLUSTRATE YOUR POSTS. YOU CORRODE AND VITIATE THE ALLEGEDLY POSITIVE MESSAGE YOU ARE TRYING TO CONVEY. IT IS LIKE CHOOSING TO DELIVER LIFE-SAVING DRUGS IN A BOOBY-TRAPPED BOX.

We will know this week if there is any spine in the US Senate. Or if we have officially transitioned to something Edward Gibbon would have skewered mercilessly.

A Stephen Crane poem: “Think as I think,” said a man, “Or you are abominably wicked; You are a toad.” And after I had thought of it, I said, “I will, then, be a toad.”

"Stephen Miller and Donald Trump have made a choice: To hunt law-abiding migrants rather than the Trump supporters gunning down Democrats in their homes." Boom.

I guess disabling women's lives, or the lives of those exposed to COVID, is OK as long as "city life" is "protected" with malice, violence and incompetence.

"Silence and complicity won’t protect you."

Utterly debased.

Impromptu POTUS G7 departure interview calls failed parade a big success because weather report was wrong. So decimating NOAA is a feature not a bug, apparently.

I didn't believe posts saying @nytimes.com has disappeared the No Kings protests from its homepage. A headline already minimized them by saying "thousands," not "millions," turned up. Just looked. The critics are correct. No Kings protests have literally been erased from the homepage. #fail
