The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq? Over 8,000 Americans killed. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Trillions of dollars spent. Nobody has explained how a war with Iran helps America. Because it won't.

Trained on the Terminator films perhaps

The victim was interviewed by the FBI four times. The last time was the day before Jeffrey Epstein died

Tellingly, Johnson is once again facing a revolt from the women in his party about Gonzales. And they aren't RINOs: They're hardcore MAGA folks like Nancy Mace, Anna Paulina Luna and Lauren Boebert. He can't dismiss them.

15%. Can we get 50% Huh? Amiright!!!!!!!!! Fuck the mango Mussolini

Medical influencer resigns CBS post after name included in multiple Epstein files

Gov'ts worldwide are culpable re stuff like 👇. Not enough public message put out to combat ridiculous antivax nonsense! Vaccinations & medical/scientific advancements are some of humankinds most amazing achievements! Gov'ts should be actively combatting antivax nonsense! Vaccines save lives!

This is going to be a constant refrain as people let AI agents run loose in ways that we haven't even dreamed of.

If this really eclipsed the iconic blizzard of 78’….damn were people being dramatic about that storm…

This bitch don’t play.

Baking a sticky toffee pudding cake. Hoping it will warm me from the inside!

NEWS Longevity guru Peter Attia is stepping aside as a contributor to CBS News, after correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein came to light in the release of the Epstein Files from the Department of Justice. Full Story: bit.ly/4u9BnDx

Just shoveled a foot of snow off my driveway 💪 youtu.be/GKSRyLdjsPA?...

We’re in the heart of the storm now until early afternoon—winds gusting 50+ mph & snowfall at 2+ in/hr. It’s impossible to keep roads clear under whiteout conditions, but we have 900+ plows & trucks out keeping roadways manageable until we can really clear once the snow slows. Stay in & stay safe!

We got some sideways snow going on

Now they are saying maybe 30 inches of snow. OMG. We are gonna get buried. My bad ankle tells me this is gonna be a doozy!

It’s goin’ down, I’m yelling duck legs!

The phrase "no shit" is the immediate reaction from anyone who spent 5 minutes on social media during the election.

A big fuckin hawk came for a visit #birding

So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.

I understand that we will not ban AI that is for deepfake harassment and abuse, but that it’s for the same reason we don’t ban guns, because someone’s making money, not because this tech has so many other, legit, less harmful uses.

Why are men?

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

The conclusions about student cognition aren’t the interesting part for me so much as the money being spent on youth surveillance that isn’t leading to better learning outcomes. Teachers are being laid off, schools & libraries are closing, books are being banned.

These dudes are such sick weirdos. I guarantee that he's been waiting for an opportunity to choke a young brown girl long before these protests and town halls.

What does it profit a man to have billions of dollars if he has no one to, lovingly, tell him to shut the fuck up

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Another horrifying, Kafka-esque scene from Trump's America

After all this time, I am still actually shocked by the level of grift and corruption. Fucking unbelievable and also, par for the course.

"a little cash is always nice" ☹️

LOVE THIS 💗

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

There is so much pent up demand for joy and to believe in the future.

Send it to Britain and France.

Incinerator?

They aren’t spending billions of dollars on detention camps to leave them empty. They either aren’t planning on deporting people, or they intend to fill the camps with someone else.

New release from the Windsor Mint. Get yours now! 😜

AOC describes what has happened in Gaza as a genocide, praises the idea of wealth taxes and has condemned corporate monopolies. Those positions are correct, and they are shared by many Democratic voters. But not by most of the party’s other 2028 hopefuls. trib.al/x5i2RnA

Cuban sandwiches are so bomb

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

The Times Union editorial board: “For the good of Bard College, Mr. Botstein should step aside. If he won't, the Board of Trustees should tell him it's time to go.”

i don’t believe in the death penalty [finger to earpiece] hold on there’s been a development
