Hey! I made it on the local news again! They even retained the talking point about how EVERY PRESIDENT since FDR has respected Civil Service Veteran Protections UNTIL TRUMP 47.

We know Trumpers will stay with Trump even after he is outed as 100% guilty as a participant in Epstein's worst crimes.
The question is what coping strategy they will use to stick with him:
a) Everything is fake.
b) His opponents are "worse"
c) Asking "Is his statutory rape all that bad?"

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

One thing you can do to help is contribute to food banks. I volunteer at one and these SNAP cut backs have doubled the number of people coming in. We have to provide food for double the people and it runs out pretty quickly.
How Families Are Coping With SNAP Cuts
In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50.
Because of the government shutdown, the Trump administration initially sought to stop supplying benefits.
