I like this idea! @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social thank you! Time for me to make some calls today.
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

By “upgrading”, #NordVPN means they are moving something currently in the normal subscription and moving it behind a paywall.
They are “upgrading” the cost, not the service. This seems to be something many service providers are doing to hide price increases.

Been trying to silver plate some brass sheet and no matter how well I polish the surface, degrease it and make it ‘silver friendly’, it is a really hit and miss (mostly miss) process.
I’ve finally given in and ordered an electroplating pen kit.
Does anyone know of a plating fluid that works?

This is a continued genocide.
Israel is creating Lebensraum for more illegal settlements on Palestinian land.
Listen to the deafening silence from the so called Human Rights countries.
Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas started on 10 October, satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify show.

Oh; hang on. It’s’ based on an existing American General Dynamics design, the ASCOD 2.

How stupid is Amazon?
They just gave me a free 30-day Prime taster. I logged in to the Prime app and decided to try the Reacher series. Clicked the first episode and was immediately presented with an advert.
Within 10 seconds, I’d exited Prime and will not go back.
Cancelled.

These are not pardons to correct an injustice, they are creating injustice.
These pardons explicitly support insurrection against the Constitution and people of America.
