REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,

A little preview of Independence Day.

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

The hilarious thing about people complaining about 14-year olds on e-bikes that are too powerful is that in less than two years these kids will be able to drive 500hp, 5000lb vehicles.

"2.5 billion gallons" sounds like a lot but is about 2 tenths of 1% of the amount of water (approx 5 million acre-feet per year) used to grow almonds just in California. www.c-win.org/cwin-water-b...

It’s really crazy to see socialist electeds across the country adopt the YIMBY platform, with the exception of San Franciscan socialists who have tied themselves to the mast of left-NIMBYism and Dean Preston’s failed BoS tenure.

This entire, miserable political party is so hyper-fixated on attacking trans people that even when they face a straight, white male like James Talarico, they don't know how to do anything except to pretend he's transgender

As it looks like Steyer isn't going to make it, @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social's race is the most important race in California by far. Most of California's housing crisis is driven by LA being awful and it'd be a massive victory if suddenly they weren't.
