Newsom’s speech was juiceless tonight. He should have gone in front of the cameras and said “I’m going to kill the president, goodnight.“ SAD!

I find myself annoyed at an organization for communicating the magnitude of a minor success in a dishonest way while failing to communicate much of the real success happening behind the scenes. This isn't how we build trust in government, and certainly not how we reward good work within govt. Sigh.

Why cook the Big Mac books when you can cause the Big Mac precursor crops to fail? Your move, Moreno.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.
