This is how the media makes me lose my zen. “AP’s Subscribe to The Ground Game” It's not a game. And part of the problem is mainstream media has turned it into one. It's democracy. It's economics. It's healthcare. It's climate. It's equality. It's our future. The last thing it is -is a "game."

Nero fiddles. Rome burns. And the GOP-led Congress are led by cowards like Mike "Lil" Johnson who are complicit in their silence and inaction. The pedo criminal elect should be impeached, indicted, imprisoned, and his corrupt ill-gotten gains should be returned to the U.S. Treasury.

Trump is once again focused today on the many difficult issues facing Americans.

“Not so simple”.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

This 2022 piece by Jeremy Peters In the New York Times was hilarious bullshit when it was published but now that Musk is literally bankrolling the entire Republican Party it’s a fucking laugh riot.

Musk is making a strong case to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX, claw back a majority of his hoarded wealth, and indicting him for election interference in the United States, Germany, and U.K.

Not just hardware. U.S.-based companies who have "obeyed in advance" to lawless Trump Admin. overreach for data. www.linkedin.com/pulse/canadi...

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

I hope her father and the lawn is ok.

What a strange story. California woman finds a man, allegedly drunk, sleeping on her lawn early in the morning & sends her dad out to move him. The man wakes up & allegedly assaults the (elderly) dad, who shoots him Turns out the man is off-duty ICE agent David Gonzalez abc7.com/story/off-du...

Vance needs to couch this discussion.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

What does he think about “Pedo-intelligence”?

Trump: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Stop the cruelty, lawlessness, corruption, and abuse. Make a plan to vote. Vote to elect or re-elect Members of Congress who will honor their Oath of Office, defend the rule of law, and embrace democracy and equality.

Heartbreaking 💔 Children scream while masked ICE goons kidnap their families in broad daylight in Harrison, New Jersey.

Perhaps the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell human trafficking and abuse files are stored in another galaxy? Maybe that’s where the framework of a healthcare plan is coming from?

Is it just me or are there others tempted to send samples to Elon Musk and his entire DOGE team for analysis?

The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.
