Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Someone needs to thank the president for bringing gas prices all the way down to 3.50 a gallon from that high water mark of 3.10 when he was inaugurated

On one hand - of coarse. On the other hand, good. They didn’t bail his ass out. The tariffs will be a huge failure, a complete fiasco, by September. And by Christmas people will be more than angry. Trump will have to solve it all by himself now.

“‘What we have heard from all of the people that we have talked to is that nobody wants this,’ Tanager said. ‘Nobody wants their public land sold off. (They) certainly don’t want our public land sold off to fund tax cuts for billionaires.’”

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

OPINION by @ryanbeckwith.bsky.social: Ryan notes how Trump’s megabill is already unpopular — just wait until Americans hear what’s in it. “The populist parts of the bill get more support, but their benefits pale in comparison.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Republicans have insisted for years that any increase in America’s so-called debt limit be paired with spending reductions. Now the party is poised to discard that philosophy and press ahead with legislation that combines nearly $4 trillion in tax cuts with a $5 trillion increase to the debt limit.
