The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

I also think Toyota did a bad job of hawking it. I literally had no idea how robust of a system it was until you made a video about it the other day.

Batteries are going gangbusters right now with current technology, and there’s technology on the way that will make current tech look antiquated. If you aren’t up to speed on this stuff, follow this guy.

I’m so old I remember when the White House Press Corps stood for nothing, but they’d at least circle the wagons whenever Obama’s pressec so much as hinted that FOX News maybe wasn’t being totally “fair and balanced.” Now they don’t even give a shit about each other being threatened with prosecution.

The news media is so disinterested in military procurement that the only stories I can find about our new $209M (each*) navy tanker drone read lIke press releases written by Pete Hegseth. These tankers cost more than F-35s. Here @wardcarroll.bsky.social takes a more critical look. * CRS study

The Fifth Circuit needs to be reformed out of existence, and every single judge assigned to a new Northern Mariana Islands circuit. Or the new Nome, Alaska circuit.

Coming to check out the cybertruck that smashed into a preschool and exploded this morning I assume

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

Both parties already have national-level voter files based on carefully compiling and cross-comparing all the local and state-level files. It's been that way since the mid-2000s as records were digitized. The right wing dream is *misinterpreting that data* to attempt to purge people off rolls.

Yes, we learned that if the cult leader says there is no pandemic, the cult followers will ignore their own dying mothers to agree with him.

Remember, kids: the Nazi driving the electric dumpster may not be willing to yield for you, but his automatic braking/collision avoidance system is.

I think people misunderstand the motivations. Body modification is not really about fixing something that’s perceived to be inadequate. People don’t do scarification because they think god gave them insufficient scars at birth. There’s lots of other psychology involved though.

"We need to invite Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent but a campaign stop with Liz Cheney is a bridge too far" is real "I'm going to become the Joker" stuff for me.

Your occasional reminder that @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.senate.gov not only voted for this guy, but sheparded him through the confirmation process.

I am not a Platner fan, but if he’s going to have heterodox positions to pander to low info white voters who also have heterodox positions, this is the one I’d choose. Also, if he wants to keep the gun lobby from spending to defend Collins, he comes in slightly to her right on the AWB.

I have worked for many of these people and DR is correct, whether people on here want to believe it or not.

This is a bizarre word choice. A pedestrian is someone who is walking as a form of transportation. Someone on a runway at DIA is not walking from point A to point B, they are someone who broke in and evaded security in order to commit a very showy suicide, possibly killing hundreds of others.

Caveat! If it becomes a monument or museum, a) most visitors will never really see it because it’s on White House grounds, and b) absent GOP annihilation in the next two elections, Republicans will turn it right back into a Trump memorial ballroom at first opportunity. Raze. Replace with whatever.

I am once again here to tell you that multi-party parliamentary systems are not superior to two-party presidential systems

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

This is a really good explanation, Alec.

A lot of people who are mad at Obama for saying Democrats should speak plainly also like it when Democrats speak plainly.

I’m seeing a lot of highly defensive responses On Here when Obama says be more like Mamdani. The same people who are taking that advice as a personal affront were giving the same advice as recently as three minutes ago.

Birb is not rinsing or washing but bathing and basking. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

peace is at hand, and if iran doesn’t agree, the bombing will continue

who needs to air your own TV ads or raise small-donor cash with #copolitics friends like there.

55th anniversary of the 555 going strong, with a Big Clive livestream (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzNj...), and a video precisely 5:55 long published at 5:55 on 5-5 from @eevblog - www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/e...

I bought a clavichord from Albuquerque last month and despite having lots of friends and relatives in the area have yet to get someone to go pick it up for me, so I’m probably going to have to make a quick run down there. I’d take my mom’s Chevy volt but it doesn’t support DC fast charging.

You guys it’s like Christmas in May up here

Wallet inspector etc and so forth

Just completed a post-midnight porch plant round-up and retrieval, thanks guys

It’s gonna be craptacular A propos of nothing, I read that Putin is getting extra paranoid about coups and assassination of late.

We fought. We won. Others can too. www.mediamatters.org/angelo-carus...

Criticizing Israel and its behavior and policies, even very sharply, isn’t bigoted. Reflexively responding to any mention of Jews, Judaism, Jewish history or culture, or the Jewish community with demands to denounce Israel is absolutely bigoted and also unhinged.

It’s amazing how enamored these people are with the smell of their own farts

Increasingly concerned about the potential for widespread power outages for the foothills, and even some of the lower elevations. Boulder, Fort Collins highest probabilities in the metro area. #COwx

A big May storm is increasingly likely for Colorado Tue-Wed. Highlights: 1) Potential for 4"+ of snow for parts or much of the Denver metro area (low-medium confidence) 2) A big 10-20" mountain snowstorm (high confidence) 3) Significant moisture (medium-high confidence) #COwx

I made this point a few days ago and the reply I got was “well actually my sexual paraphilia doesn’t include Looney Tunes characters“

My take on his spirituality is that if you can't look past mild Presbyterianism in your leaders the problem is you

For when @catsofyore.bsky.social inevitably pivots to video youtu.be/UIhuYYZj4jE?...

Fico supported Ukraine's entry into the EU‼️ How interesting. Russian influence in the EU is collapsing after the loss of its main asset: Orban.

Ahh the return of the royal “we.” Here come the hick-branded beer koozies.

Oh my god if she’d be a hundred, what does that make me? #old

Since we're entering another "expand the Court" cycle, it can both be true that (a) expansion itself would be a long term bad idea, but (b) *threatening* expansion is a very good idea. Negotiate like you're prepared to burn bridges.

Everybody watch @jamellebouie.net

We amended the Constitution so the people instead of state legislatures elect senators because the old system resulted in corruption and dysfunction, and now we have a system where state legislatures functionally decide the composition of their House delegations before a single vote is cast.

Had an annoying argument with my young leftist coworker. His thinking is so muddled and he talks like Glenn Beck and Alex Jones combined. Says it’s been “documented” that Butler was staged. Wants me to prove that the WHCD wasn’t staged. Says if I don’t say it’s staged, I’m defending Donald Trump.

I would say that it‘s not all that new. We perfected “tax spending“ (spending through refundable tax credits) at the state level decades ago. IOW, disguising spending as tax cuts, usually for very niche purposesp, but really to get around budget rules and constitutional strictures.
