Why aren’t at least some Republicans (a few more than now) in the House and Senate willing to turn on Trump? Are they all bought off? Threatened bodily? Unwilling to be primaried? Or do they see him as a necessary evil to get tax cuts for t to he rich?
Nothing new under the sun. The folks like Tom Friedman who said Sadaam had WMDs all have their jobs, but the Dixie chicks, who correctly said it was BS, got canceled.
South Texas homebuilders say ICE arrests have slowed work
More than 380 people attended an impromptu meeting that industry leaders in the Rio Grande Valley hosted to draw attention to the chilling effect ICE arrests have had on construction.

本日、地方にある経産省出張所に用事があり、15MBのファイル(PDF形式)を送ったが、先方の受信上限は何と10MBなので、跳ねられた。結局ファイルを2つ(それぞれ10MB以下)に分けて、無事に送信ができた。天下の経産省は2025年に15MBファイルを受信できない❗️日本はIT先進国かどうか、疑問を感じる。
Get every Democrat running for senator or Congress in 2026 to make it one of their main campaign promises, so if they win they have a mandate.
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with
CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

Mark, Japan’s single-payer system works well, especially as compared to the mess in the US. Why aren’t you advocating for the US to adopt a system like Japan’s? (I know there are all kinds of obstacles posed by vested interests in the US, but don’t give up without even trying!) @mcuban.bsky.social

Long time resident of Tokyo here. This article is OK, but omits some important facts. Such as: 1) Japan doesn’t allow big corporations to own hospitals and clinics. 2) Residents (including non-citizens) get a free annual physical (including cancer screening), and periodic free dental checkup.
WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment
I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

米国トランプ政権は不法移民を強制的にエルサルバドルの拷問収容場CECOTに送り込んだ。米CBS局は暴露番組を作成したが、トランプより新局長は放送をドタキャンした。だが、カナダでOAだったのでこのリンクでみえる。米国政府は酷い待遇を「外注」したことは間違いない。

米国の法律によって12月19日までに政府はエプスタイン関連の全資料を公開する期限だ。政府は、例えば大陪審記録を公開したが、完全ノリベンだった！ #舐めている！ 米国会(特に共和党会派)は許すかどうか、興味深い。
政府の #狼少年「後発地震注意情報」は取り下げられた。気象庁の6人の地震学者からなる判定会の存在を延命するコントだった。的中率は1000分の1(甘く評価しても100分の1)に過ぎず、当たってもほとんど役立たないのに国民に #えらい迷惑 をかけた。
