Hey Congress! In November 2026, all you 435 members of Congress are up for re-election. If you wanna keep your overpaid gigs, remember who your voters are and not just your PAC donors. 33 Senators and 39 governors are up on the chopping block too.

Trump spending hours pooping live all over Truth Social, his diapers and the walls is not new, but someone in his circle with access posted the horrifically racist hit piece on President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. When will Stephen Miller cross the red line? When we’re in a Recession?

Electricity and hardware costs to mine a single Bitcoin can range from about $75,000 up to $100,000. Bitcoin is down below $65,000 for the day. Crashing crypto miners is the most positive environmental impact we’ve had in years. Watching Trump meme mining fail is pure bonus.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Heather Marsh is fearless. Start with “Us and Them”. There is hope in those pages.
This is what @opdeatheaters.bsky.social and Heather Marsh set out to expose; its not just isolated incidents, it is layers of networks and structures designed to prey on all of us and especially the most vulnerable. What they do during their official duties, they'll do as recreation too.

Kyiv was ready for a ceasefire from the very beginning, but Russia must agree to it. All the conditions for the ceasefire, according to him, are set out in a 20-point plan.

Sveum and Vazquez, alongside other BORTAC agents, showed up in reports and body cam footage released by a federal judge in November.
We were able to further confirm Michael Sveum's identity because one of those videos includes his phone lockscreen with a photo of himself at an ultrarunning event.

This poster is a Child of the Chalk. James Talarico critcized Colin Allred, yet this genius is accusing Rep. Crockett of smearing Talarico. Choir leader Talarico put his foot in his mouth, but they're blaming Rep. Crockett. This is nasty work.
Consider it explained.
And while I like both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, I have to say...this whole thing reeks of a desperate smear attack against Talarico. It doesn't make Crockett's campaign look good.
