Trump's ICE goon rejects hired off the street and failing basic fitness tests aren't about to storm into a nest of actual criminals where they could get hurt. They're targeting churches, schools, work sites, and neighborhoods because those people aren't going to fight them.
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Sean Duffy wanting to "bring civility back" to airline travel the same week that Trump called a woman "piggy" on an airplane is pretty amazing.

Yet another unforced error. Kelly had largely been backburnered out of the public eye after he wasn't chosen as Kamala's VP.
This will force him into national prominence, just like Trump's nonsense against Newsom and Pritzker. Then man is unintentionally helping fill the Democratic bench.

Sen. Mark Kelly told NPR "it just doesn't make any sense" for him to face a military court-martial after he and other Democratic lawmakers released a video reminding active-duty troops that they don't have to follow illegal orders.
Sen. Mark Kelly: Trump and Hegseth don't 'understand the Constitution'
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., and other congressional Democrats released a video last week letting service members know they can refuse illegal orders. Kelly is now being investigated for misconduct.

I think you have to be straight-up bad at math to disbelieve Aliens *EXIST*.
But you also have to be bad at math to believe that they exist at the same time as humanity at distances to our planet that could be physically traversable within the time span of our existence so far.

I know this isn't the point but it makes me laugh so much every time someone says "hung" when they mean "hanged".
Anyway here are some guys angrily talking about how big Polis's and Weisner's dicks are.

Rebranding inflation as “the affordability crisis” is a gift to Trump as it makes this out to be a new problem as opposed to the problem he claimed he was going to solve but instead made worse.

What must it look like to the aliens that we are feeding machines the water that we need to survive as a species?
Like you'd have to conclude the robots were in charge and we are placating our tin gods or something.

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.
Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.

If I invite you to a party and you show up and take a picture of me and tell your phone to call me fat and ugly, then just tell it to keep using more and more slurs, you're never getting invited anywhere unless you're a multi-billionaire.
Which I think explains a lot about Musk's social situation.
