Somehow the InsideEVs rewrite (which never acknowledges or links to the source) is even fluffier than the original Ford PR piece. IEVs claim that “the battery still has 96% of its original capacity” is total BS.

The official Homeland Security X account posts a painting depicting some recent European immigrants invading Native American lands and inflicting cultural domination rather than assimilating peacefully and with permission from tribes.

Just another day in Trump World. The hurricane states are almost entirely MAGA. Trump wants to end FEMA support and funding as well.

An excellent reality check to concerns about the future of Social Security.
Contrary to what you hear from the media and Republicans, Social Security will be there, unless the Republicans in Congress vote to nix it substack.com/home/post/p-... The danger is political, not economic.

New “Dictator Approved” statue appears in DC
WaPo: It sits at the same location as the poop statue did last fall.
The artwork's creators intended "Dictator Approved" as a response to the June 14 military parade and authoritarianism, according to a permit issued by the National Park Service.

Trump is rolling back civil rights efforts across the government so it only makes sense to strip the names of civil rights leaders from our existing Navy ships. Gotta be consistent and make a 100% effort for white nationalism. That’s what a slight plurality of the voters wanted!
It's not just Harvey Milk.
The Navy is considering renaming ships named after Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others.
