Seem like a prime batch of applicants for that $1.7B “anti-weaponization” slush fund

⚡️Russian oil refinery in Syzran reportedly struck amid Ukrainian attack. A Russian oil refinery in Syzran, Samara Oblast, was struck in a Ukrainian attack overnight on May 21, social media channels reported.

Solar Panels can be Strategically placed, I am not sure how useful data centers will be…. I find it odd that the same people who complained about solar panels being a waste of land have no issue with opening data centers 3x the size.

Manafort!

I would definitely count this guy as someone I would vote for president in 2028

Trump’s habit of playful sexual harassment of younger men makes me think that his true calling is as the drag queen MC of a midsize city cabaret variety show.

All the more reason to go green and end fossil fuels for good.

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

The Colorado Democratic Party just voted overwhelmingly to censure disgraceful traitor Jared Polis for corruptly granting clemency to seditious criminal MAGA election fraudster Tina Peters. Good, they should also impeach him for defrauding his constituents, he can’t be trusted.

Yeah, it’s probably just a coincidence that Blanche represented Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Cohen, and Donald Trump. He’s just a guy trying to do the right thing without regard to party, as long as you’re a Republican.

Come on now Lora, have a heart. If he didn't ensure the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, then how else is he and his enablers supposed to insider trade?

(Reuters) - The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the beginning of a "systemic agrifood shock" that could trigger a severe global ​food price crisis within six to 12 months, the United ‌Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said on Wednesday. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

dead internet theory goes brrrr I dread to think how many not-very-clued-in consumers will be so easily misled by these

It would be cheaper to give every coal miner $5m every year than it is to keep them employed in coal mining. Not even joking; there are maybe 40k coal workers, but annual economic burden of U.S. coal is $200B-$500B (climate change, public health, water & ecosystem damage, dispatch inefficiency).

“.. Martin also predicted the Justice Department would dole out millions of dollars to those charged, and then later pardoned, in the Jan 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the people said. Even if it took until the end of President Donald Trump’s term.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Missed this one from yesterday, but X, which Elon Musk said he bought to enable free speech, is now limiting non-paying users to just 50 posts per day. Or you can post as much as you dang please on Bluesky.

I wrote about the "anti-weaponization fund" and how the "weaponization" cited basically didn't happen and how there is *actual* weaponization happening at the moment but that the targets of it will never see a single dime for their troubles. Gift link:

I must say this last month or so of historically corrupt and extremely racist kakistocracy partnered with across the board institutional failure has been...a lot

Trump’s mean tweets are still capable of swinging a primary in Kentucky. His approval rating is barely above drinking age and he will never be on the ballot again. His second term is already an abject failure. Other than that he’s killing it!

Trump has major influence over a small primary in a heavy gop district, behold his mighty power

Trump wants the intellectual property rights to Ukraine's amazing drones?! WTAF? He can eff right off with this sh*t. Un-freakin'-believable.

WTF 🤬

There have been 14 popes named Leo: hence, the name Leo XIV.

Bam!

Everything about the $1.8 billion fund is ludicrous but don’t ignore the irony of blue states being forced to pay for bullshit “weaponization” claims as the government is being weaponized against them. Gift link:

I genuinely struggle to understand what these people think is going on

Collins is an election denier who gave a social media stamp of approval for the late-January FBI raid on Fulton County’s election office, writing “Go get ‘em Kash” in a post — which he deleted just ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Russian occupiers in the city of Donetsk announced they were going to do a chlorine flush of the water system on 20 and 21 May, and advised residents not to use the water. The flush has started, and water mains are breaking across the city. Beautiful Russian Mir.

In just in time for her to get in on that taxpayer money slush fund

Republican voters don't want conservatives anymore. They want cult members.

Not all Jews support the Israeli government. Not all Americans support Trump. See how that works?

I intend to file claims for many of my clients targeted for retaliatory retribution by the Trump Administration, as well as my own claim for this Administration's unlawful weaponization of security clearance powers. No doubt we'll all be rich! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

Can’t believe Kentuckians let Israel buy their congressional seat, kinda hilarious though

Every GOP primary story is like “syphilis loses to pancreatic cancer”
