Talarico: "If you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

We live in Texas and got one of the fake flyers — I assume every resident did. How evil is it to spend millions of dollars on this distraction?!?

openjdk.org/jeps/538 Only a couple decades late, Java 27 adds PEM support. That was about the only reason I used bouncy castle library. #java

openjdk.orgJEP 538: PEM Encodings of Cryptographic Objects (Third Preview)Introduce an API for encoding objects that represent cryptographic keys, certificates, and certificate revocation lists into the widely-used Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) transport format, and for decoding from that format back into objects.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

Talarico on trans athletes: “I’m always going to stand up to politicians who bully kids to score political points. My faith teaches me that every child is made in the image of God…I’ll always fight to make sure our student athletes and every sport is safe and fair. Those are not mutually exclusive.”

The new congress needs to seriously put in some guardrails for all this crap the administration is doing. Legal filings and court orders are pointless. Expecting common decency and honoring handshake agreements are naive.

Did they not watch Robocop? Jokes aside, this is demented. These are just people trying to live their life and work jobs that make American lives better.

ABC NEWS: “ICE set to deploy a fleet of robot dogs to track and apprehend undocumented migrants…” Deranged. Dystopian. Nightmare fuel.

What have libs done to you? Nothing. What has an immigrant working a hellish job nobody wants done to you? Added tax revenue with no benefits. Now, what has Trump and his Republican Party done to you?

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

Biden made the right decision with problematic execution pulling out of Afghanistan and he was savaged for it daily. Trump makes one of the worst strategic decisions in U.S. history with catastrophic consequences and somehow the reaction seems milder. Am I wrong about that?

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.
