Folks, I promise you the conspiracy rabbit holes are a lot of stupid bullshit dressed up for social media engagement. Many of us who are veterans are cringing at the otherwise smart people we see sharing said stupid bullshit online. None of it is worth your time. I promise you that.

For decades, lawmakers have ceded their constitutional war powers, allowing presidents of both parties to launch military action without approval, writes Adam Weinstein.
Congress Has Only Itself to Blame for the War Department
Years of neglected oversight have led to unrestrained presidential authority.

Where can we start signing up to support your run for POTUS? I just retired from organizational development work and I am ready to commit.

Not true. We have a growing number of brand meds. The only reason we don’t have all brand meds is because the big PBMs threaten to reduce sales of the brand’s meds if they work with us.

They know we will do to brand pricing what we did to generics.
Unfortunately Cuban can only work his magic on generic drugs. Patent holders control the pricing of their own drugs.

An actual dictator and a wannabe dictator walk into a bar.

The actual dictator points a gun at the bartender and says, “Leave.”

Then he shows the wannabe dictator all the blackmail he has on him.

“Now, do what I say,” he commands.

Sorry, this isn’t a joke. It’s what happened yesterday in Alaska.

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”
The Supreme Court is about to let religion ruin public education

This is probably so true and horrifying at the same time.
I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.
