AOC has said this about Marjorie Taylor Greene retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. "

Jeffries: "What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune had the decency to distance himself from Trump's remarks. But Mike Johnson couldn't say a thing."

MacCALLUM: You're implying that Trump might do something they wouldn't want to uphold. What are you talking about? CROW: The protests at Lafayette Square where he said, 'Can't you just shoot them in the legs' MacCALLUM: That's not an order. That's a comment CROW: That's coming from the president

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Several Chicago newsrooms have been quietly collaborating to bring big ICE stories to the forefront. In this story today, we found that feds used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times during immigration raids — even after a judge said to stop.

HOLY SHIT. Unusual Whales has been mentioned BY NAME in the US Congressional hearing on getting US Congress banned from stock trading. "Get on that Unusual Whales site...this is pathetic folks, we all know what is going on [on stock trading]" Said by Rep Tim Burchett!

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files. Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years. He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together. His attacks won't change any of that.

Here in my parts we only get about 2 good weeks of fall colors, so I savor them. #fall #photography

I’m supporting Rafael Cruz’s run for president. Don’t @ me, IDC. You find a bigger loser — you can’t.

All the stuff that’s being released about Epstein now is due to the House subpoena of the Epstein estate The executors have had all these documents for years, and knowingly kept them secret We don’t even know who the beneficiaries of the estate are! They’ll get at least $100 million.

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him. Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

This is a very good case in point - if BlueSky wants to moderate heavily, then moderate heavily, but you gotta hit all the offenders, *especially* the powerful ones

Wal-Mart called and said they needed that $2B of SNAP money to help their holiday bottom line.Then the airline executives called and cried that they didn’t want to have the flight reduction. Then the lobbyists called and…you get the picture. It wasn’t about the people, never has been, never will be.

Toasttab has a bug bounty system for security vulnerabilities. When are they introducing their grammar bounty system for shitty writing? login ≠ log in and everyday ≠ every day #grammar #writing #english #spelling

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

Follow the money.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Original-to-me joke, AI-generated visualization of said joke. #humor #funny. What slogan do you get when you cross ex-lax with Pillsbury? Go ahead, pinch off a loaf.

Another egregious misuse of “setup.” (See step 2.) Did Verizon really not hire a copy editor before this went out? #grammar #spelling #writing #education

It's pretty fascinating seeing New Yorkers lose their minds (derogatory) about Mamdani. His vision for NYC is better than Cuomo's. Also: Cuomo's actions and decisions literally killed New Yorkers. How could anyone trust him to lead this city?

Vote all the Republicans out even if you like your Republican. Vote them all out at every level County State Federal every level. They are not fighting for us than they are fighting against us. They should be taking Trump to task instead they asked what can I do to help you Trump

New bikeways that have opened (or are very close to opening) in Minneapolis this year: - Hennepin Avenue S - University Avenue SE - 24th Street E - 1st Avenue S (1/2)

Does Amazon have a literacy issue? Do they not hire copy editors? Are we just ignoring phrasal verbs now? All of the above? #design #ui #grammar #english

How does FedEx care so little that they conflate “log in” and “login” on their mobile interface? Like, was nobody literate doing the work on their site — and nobody else proofread it?

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Did they really think turnaround was an imperative verb? #grammar #spelling #HOA #writing

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Why are “log in” and “login” so hard for companies to get correct? How do multiple people see this copy and go “looks good?” #grammar #writing #web #wtf

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Looking forward to Mike Johnson declaring he hasn't seen the diarrhea jet clip.

Nice recap

$23.08 for this meal in Seoul. One of the best meals we've eaten this trip. That $23 included the beer, by the way. This would have been a $50+ tip meal back home in California.

I did a thing and it worked. I have a Chromecast I wanted to use while traveling in Korea without any region restrictions. I use a system called Tailscale to operate a VPN through my home internet. Following a few steps with some YoutTube help, I got it to work and am streaming Tennis on YouTubeTV.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Seoul alleyway by night. #seoul #southkorea #photography #instagram #travel

What gives me hope is this: In my lifetime, I have felt moments of profound grief and staggering despair, but it is only since then that I have been able to actualize and appreciate the greatest joys. We must first witness the darkness to understand the need for light. Please don’t give up. 🍁
