If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of...

Our foreign aid, will not help foreigners or save foreign lives, even if they are women and children… That’s all I heard!!! Eff You Rubio!!! Eff You!!!

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

More Scott Pelly Reporters "Bari loves this institution" Bilton told staffers at one point during highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes" "She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it-and she's doing exactly that."

Blue Origin rocket and Their only Launch Pad Destroyed. Possibly ending America's chances of beating China to the Moon 🌙? I'm stuck thinking... SABOTAGE

Wondering, was Blue Origion sabotaged? This could be a huge benefit for SpaceX... Yes? Corporate sabotage is a real thing.

Lost my daughter this month. So much trauma dealing with coroner funeral home and trying to figure out how to pay for her final expenses I haven't had time to grieve. When it finally hits... it's going to be bad. 💔

Joey Boy would rather Talarico be a pedophile.

Thiel is worried about America’s direction, especially higher taxes in California, political instability, nuclear conflict and AI risks. Argentina appeals because it’s geographically isolated and Milei’s libertarian, anti-tax politics align with Thiel’s. 2/2

Rats fleeing the ship they’ve sunk themselves: The NYT says Peter Thiel has quietly bought property in Buenos Aires and is meeting frequently with President Javier Milei. He sees Argentina as both an ideological fit and a Plan B outside the US. 1/2

Supreme Court Justice Alito's son has been secretly working as a political appointee attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department, raising serious conflict of interest questions as high-stakes cases involving the agency have made their way to the nation's highest court. www.rawstory.com/samuel-alito...

Iran fired missiles at a U.S. base following U.S. attacks. A "deal" is being promoted that neither side has agreed to. Inflation soars. Trump is trying to get his face on money. And more. Your midday update is here:

This is what was handed out at my senior complex today by the local Food Bank. Carrots? Back when I was ranching this would have been considered animal food. Is America ashamed yet? Probably not.

Trump: "I'm going to join you for dinner. I'll set aside the Iranians for an evening."

They keep saying it’s “not about race.” Then why do Black voting districts keep getting dismantled in state after state? There’s a deeper fear driving parts of modern American politics ...and this article goes straight at it. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Atlanta should go back as many months as they figure & bill them NOW double for cheating. (Or just cut them off entirely but charge for what they used.)

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “A political lynching… an era of retribution… what just happened in Tennessee was the largest and most swift disenfranchisement of Black people in a century.” #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

I love the argument "This isn't a misuse of public funds. Boeing, Shell, Toyota, and Google are paying for the Transportation Secretary's road trip."

“It’s an absurd situation. They’re just straight-up lying about not knowing Memphis is majority Black… They know exactly what they’re doing.” Kanew on the racist lie at the core of the Republican push to strip Memphis of representation.

AOC seems to personify the subtle art of not giving a fuck. Meaning she gives a fuck about what matters. And that seems to make The Club nervous. markmanson.net/not-giving-a...

Trump’s Marie Antoinette ballroom went from costing taxpayers zero dollars to costing them $1 billion. Republicans are publicly standing with him through all of it. Talk about a rope-a-dope.

Trump only gives a shit about stealing the 2026 election and turning D.C. into a memorial to himself. Anything but solving the war he got us into, lowering the grocery prices he promised to lower, or dealing with skyrocketing gas prices. 1/2

I suspect that the so called "trespasser" at the Denver Airport deliberately approached the plane to commit suicide. Sad 😔

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.
