Edmundo González Urrutia won the 2024 election in Venezuela. He was the choice of the people. The Maduro-Delcy Rodríguez ticket stole power instead. Now Trump says he is freeing the Venezuelan people by making Rodríguez his puppet. So no, there is *nothing* to celebrate today.

“Why dOn’T dEmOcRaTs-“ Shut your bitch ass up & give them the majority & talk to your friends & family who keep enabling the Republicans who control everything. REPUBLICANS killed 2 different pieces of legislation to reign this in not even 2 weeks ago. Stop being pussies & be mad at Republicans.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

Minor or greater geomagnetic storms are expected later this week, potentially bringing the phenomenon to more states, forecasters said.

Public hearing on the proposed county supervisor district maps is Monday at 5:30 p.m. Better study up. Gazette incorrectly stated Green & Remington live in District 5, when in fact it is District 2. The lawyers better get going b/c the auditor needs planning time. www.thegazette.com/local-govern...
