Just listened to the Hur interview tape
and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Eliminating Head Start would be devastating for 800,000 kids and their families who rely on it for early education, health services, and family support. We can't sacrifice their future to fund tax breaks for the rich.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is the frontrunner to build Trump's "Golden Dome" missile shield.
SpaceX is proposing a subscription service where the government would pay to access the technology, rather than own it.
Experts think the project could cost hundreds of billions.

Reporter: April 9th, these tariffs come in place. Do you plan on having negotiations before that date?
Bessnet: I-I-again, I'm not part of the negotiations. So you know, w–we'll see.
Reporter: Canada and Mexico, notably missing on that chart. Why is that?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Another work colleague passed unexpectedly at the weekend. Probably the fittest athlete anyone knew and only 49. So sad for the family. Shocking. Losing two coworkers in two weeks brings mortality close to everyone.
