Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Starbucks just needs to shutter all locations in the states where AG's pull this crap. Put everyone on paid leave. It will be cheaper than paying the lawyers and the coffee addicts will burn down the state in short order. In Missouri, that's a win/win.

WITAF? The Department of Homeland Security has budgeted up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads in the United States and overseas that repeatedly thank President Donald Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. /1

I actually wanted to watch a report about medicaid cuts intended by the Trump admin, but when I clicked on it, Mika Brzezinski's face appeared... ... and I ain't gonna watch a second of this "Morning Joe" shitshow, even when the topic interests me. I'll get the info somewhere else.

At 5am this morning, the temperature is minus 7 and the "feels like" temperature is minus 3. How does that make sense? The wind makes it feel warmer? #weather #kansascity

#kubball🏀 WTF is going on? Love ya, but the Top 25 run is over. It should already be over. Did not deserve the 23 ranking. Do we even make the Sweet 16? Rough year.

Missouri Governor Kehoe signed a sweeping executive order that bans all state agencies from spending money on diversity programs and initiatives. In this unrelated photo, the rich diversity of the Missouri chamber is VERY clearly demonstrated. /snark www.sos.mo.gov/library/refe...

Well, it's started. I'm negotiating contracts with clients and clarifying that all bets are off if these stupid tariffs impact costs. 25% can be too much to absorb by ourselves. Meanwhile, President Elon is doing just fine. www.businessinsider.com/state-depart...

This MFer is going to get us into a world war. "The growing threat from Russia is more urgent at the beginning of 2025 than it was two years ago." www.businessinsider.com/german-navy-...

Insecure fans boo the #kcchiefs but #chiefskingdom keeps it classy. Thanks, Philly fans, for give us even more motivation!

A 3-Peat is a tall order, especially against such a great team. Cheers to all of #chiefskingdom on a great season and, hopefully, an even greater finale!!!

This WAS the National Cancer Institute's page - "Definition of Transgender - NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms". So, if it is scrubbed from the internet, then there are no transgender people left? No need to even understand them?WTF? www.cancer.gov/publications...

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

I NEED video.

If I told you to march on Washington in ____ days, would you be ready? Can you walk a mile? Do you have a way to get to D.C.? Plan now. Get ready. Go find out how another group of people fended off a dictator. Google it. Ask ChatGPT. Study. Prepare. Get ready: Mind, Body and Spirit.

In all seriousness, is there nothing that can be done to stop this Treasury madness? I am seeing a lot of posts about people trying to get access and being turned away. Do we not have money for a black ops group to go in and shut it down?

Elon Musk is moving to kill USAID. Here are three reasons why that matters: It will make us less safe. The foreign assistance USAID administers around the world prevents crises, staves off famine, fights disease, and promotes democracy around the world. People will suffer and die...

Dear Football Gods, Please continue watching over my Kansas City Chiefs. If, under some weird twist of the cosmos, the Chiefs should lose...please muzzle ANY Chiefs fan who even thinks to blame the loss on the refs or a couple of bad calls. DoBetr #KCChiefs #ChiefsKingdom

Duuuuuude @booker.senate.gov what are you doing?

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) signed their most recent contract on Dec 19, 2024. I wonder if it will be tossed aside...and how many of my former co-workers voted for this shithead. #natca www.yahoo.com/news/trump-m...

Imagine if -prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged -Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems -Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat -Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned -People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

President Trump’s remarks, suggesting that diversity requirements and other policies caused the collision of a passenger jet and an Army helicopter near Washington, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

I wish people put the same love and passion they have for football into things like: Human Rights Women’s Rights Gay Rights Or just overall human decency… but hey, what do I know. #gosports #chiefs #fuckdonaldtrump #eattheritch
