Kinda enjoy the fact that my vote counts the same as his and cancels out his state office votes.
President Donald Trump cast his ballot in the midterm elections Saturday, saying he voted for all Republicans in Florida before speaking at a Georgia rally. https://www.wfla.com/news/trump-casts-his-midterm-ballot-early-in-florida/

The IceCube neutrino detector has won the 2026 Nobel Prize in physics. The Trump administration has proposed slashing its budget in half in 2027.

The "school security industry" is a way to bankrupt school districts by redirecting funding away from teachers and giving it to various kinds of cop-adjacent chuds instead. The Plot To Enslave America
The tiny and quick drones are being deployed in an increasing number of school districts – part of a growing school security industry as parents and schools find new ways to protect students and staff from carnage. https://cnn.it/4qDiszA

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

This is a blunt assessment of what the Trump regime is proposing for US science: they plan to take all the funding, essentially collapsing university-based research, in order to give that money to themselves, and they are lying about it.
Thoughts on the various Trump administration proposals to revamp US science funding - and what they all have in common:

The Trump admin just changed the definition of "harm" to animals under the Endangered Species Act, in what environmentalists called the biggest erosion of protections for wildlife in 50 years. @nytimes.com gift link to the story w/ @catrineinhorn.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...

Could they also give back the election then because egg prices were like the biggest talking point for republicans. Oh wait nothing is real and hypocrisy is the nation we live in
A group of major egg producers accused of price fixing will pay $3.3 million to settle an antitrust lawsuit brought by the federal government and 17 states, according to court documents.

These are the early stages of a police state.
Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

As long as I’m a teacher in Florida I will never teach a class that Florida politicians create. I teach AP classes because they have an international standard. I’m also a math/science teacher so this doesn’t apply to me. But apparently the GOP has their own type of math.
Florida has created a new U.S. history course that advances a more conservative interpretation of the nation’s story. It focuses on the Protestant faith of the founders, argues that the U.S. Constitution is an antislavery document and recommends a textbook written explicitly to build patriotism.
For a second I thought he was actually talking sense about America
Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."
Wait so boycotting isn’t going to work because the government is going to go after ad companies that pull ads from outlets that spread hate? Isn’t a free market where companies can choose when and where to spend their money?
The FTC complaint recycles various claims made by conservatives about brand-safety initiatives that attempted to reduce ad spending on sites distributing misinformation and other objectionable content.
S-tier corruption. Pay back a company to tell them to NOT give us more rentable energy, during a fossil fuel crisis, so instead, that energy company can spend money on fossil fuels. Wonder how much of this billion is going to Trump friends when it’s reinvested.
TotalEnergies has agreed to what's essentially a refund of its leases for projects off the coasts of North Carolina and New York, and will invest the money in fossil fuel projects instead, the Department of Interior announced. n.pr/3PjBEUt

All I can think about is Lockheed, Northrop, Boeing, Raytheon, and all the other DOD contractors reacting like this to the war. Wonder how much money they are making…
Top Trump administration officials told lawmakers in classified briefings Tuesday to expect an "overwhelming" and bigger wave of military strikes on Iran in the coming days.

It's almost impossible to comprehend how many people have died now because a racist reality star just couldn't deal with having a popular black president.
We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes! Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal. Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett. At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to: Net worth -> Lifetime Giving 50K->$30 100K->$60 500K->$300 $1M->$600 Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*. www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...
When the government starts preying on the few remaining kind people in society, that probably means the inevitable collapse of said society.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Guineans are voting to elect a new president in the country’s first election since a 2021 coup, as analysts say a weakened opposition will result in a likely win for junta leader Gen. Mamadi Doumbouya.

We aren’t there yet, but the fact that Trump is objectively moving us in a direction that ends with us not knowing a forecast or what weather is coming is absurd. Perhaps we’d go back to paganism to pray for certain types of weather.
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
