And also - can someone explain to me why Republicans spend the time, energy, and money to get elected to the House or Senate and then completely prostrate themselves

It's about time!

With evidence like that I'm sure he'd fit right in at the Federalist Society.

I don't understand how the Times can never determine whether Trump is lying but can say with certainty when he is joking.

What date will future historians pin as the beginning of the second Great Depression?

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Impeach, remove, convict.

Why aren't Democrats out front hailing *every* *single* *failure* of this administration? Also see today's ruling by a Trump appointed judge that bars the use of the Alien Enemies Act: abcnews.go.com/US/judge-blo... We need a scorecard to keep track of all his losses. MAKE THAT THE NEWS STORY!

The Oregon State open source lab which provides hosting for hundred of open source projects, as well as research, resources, and support to countless other others is in trouble and we will shut down soon if they can’t find $250,000. Spread the word and donate give.fororegonstate.org/PL1Uv3Fkug

Hey look everybody, the Canadians didn't elect the person the elites at the @nytimes.com thought should win, so they're trying their hardest to spin the election to the best of their ability. Also, fuck the @nytimes.com.

This is bonkers, @ramereth.bsky.social has been doing amazing things on a shoe-string budget for years, I hope some corporate sponsors step up. The link includes instructions on how individuals can donate, which I've done: osuosl.org/blog/osl-fut...

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

A recession is a forgone conclusion, the question is whether this tips into a full on depression. Y'all took all your money out of the stock market and started building up a 3 month supply of food once Trump was elected right? Right!?

This speech is fire! youtu.be/zMndfvxVeRo?...

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Yes!

Impeach, remove, and prosecute.

So true it hurts.

Trump says that any American who shows “dissension” against MAGA should be “immediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls. This is fascism.

So I found the reason the upstairs HVAC wouldn't work. The drip pan had filled with water. Why didn't it drain? Never hooked up to the drain line. Surprised because we've lived in this house for 14 years and this is the first time it failed.

This.

This is the way.

it's the people - the Republican Party - that aren't strong enough to stop him

My Spanikopita game is getting stronger. At this rate I'm going to be eating a pound of spinach a week, which probably isn't a bad thing.

I don't believe in coincidences @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

What's the easiest way to convert $ to €? Asking for ... me.

Cash $ or cash ₽?

OK, I'm not completely clear on the timelines, was JD Vance the last person to see the Pope alive?

I love my @frame.work laptop, this article is a great intro to why: www.wired.com/review/frame...

“frankly, he has not won an election since before I was born” Lmaooooo

The NYTimes is on their shit again.

Nailed it!

My first attempt at spanikopita came out great.

How bout we just never hear from anybody named Cuomo, Kennedy, Clinton, or Bush again? (Not to mention Musk or Trump) Dynasties can get fucked.

Profiles in Cowardice.

LibreCAD is really nice. In particular I really liked that the context menu when right clicking on an object was built from recent operations you'd done.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov
