The sheer scale of the corruption - announced just today - is astounding and shameful.
Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him
State House votes to rename Florida airport to Donald J. Trump international
The Republican-controlled Florida House voted 81-30 in support of the name change to President Donald J. Trump International Airport

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Pretty sure if you need to sell your plasma for groceries you are NOT middle class
My god do we need UBI

“Researchers have found that when a new plasma center opens in a neighborhood, foot traffic at local grocery stores increases, interest in payday loans declines and crime goes down, an indication of the way money from plasma props up households’ finances for necessities.“
Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.

The far right was in overdrive yesterday to make the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge about trans people.

It helped obscure the fact that it's actually Canada's first mass shooting targeting children. Canada's Dunblane.
