Let’s GO Maine! www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Please follow the instructions on this Reddit post to comment on these wasteful unnecessary changes to issuing passports. 1) it doesn’t allow for intersex people 2) it will cost $1B (hello doge, some wasteful spending) 3) probably violates equal protection clause since it only ‘protects’ women.

Ich darf noch nicht wählen. Bitte für mich (Habeck) wählen: Merz arbeitet für BlackRock nicht das deutschen Volk; Scholz konnte nicht für die Regierung gut kümmern. Lindner is Witz. Habeck ist die letzte aber echt einzige Wahl. Dafür bitte ich auch Euch um Eure Stimme für die Grünen.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

If the media won’t call it a Nazi salute then they’re definitely not going to say that someone was fired because they are Black or a woman. These outlets are complicit.

I feel even less safe now.

I feel less safe with the mediocre white guy who thinks he’s superior in charge. The armed services is one of the few places where anyone could rise to the top. It is a disservice to everyone in uniform and every citizen that this is happening. When do we admit that there’s a domestic enemy?

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

The Democrats are taking another long weekend and STILL agreeing to unanimous consent. It’s fucking insane. These people are not fucking listening.

Not. A. Single. Freaking. Time. Have. They. Trashed. Russia. For. Exterminating. Ukraine. Instead. Of. Blaming. Ukrainians. For. Resisting.

Interesting.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I wish they had that 15 years ago :/

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Going to reiterate that everyone on this website should run for something. Tree warden, Senator, horse catcher, whatever. The Democratic Party is currently screaming at each other about precisely how much more racist and transphobic they should get. Sneak past them, primary an old guy, take control.

I’ve seen more Seig Heils in the last month than I ever needed in my entirely life. I’m ready to get off this ride.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

This is great writing. I encourage all to read.

Seems legit.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

They could try "I don't have the authority to mass fire these workers without cause and neither do you"

All—and i mean ALL—Democrats need to do is say "Republicans don't like Dolly Parton teaching kids how to read" and yet...here we wait

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

This is my current understanding of the Constitutional order in the United States It is, needless to say, very bad
