Congress, it’s time to be brave and serve the whole of the American people.

I resembled this remark today. Imagine that. 🙄 My flag meant love of country and the rule of law.
I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

The Supreme Court Case declaring that Nixon could not impound appropriated funds was literally an infrastructure case involving New York City.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"
every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them:
MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING.
This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

You’ve got to be kidding me, that this was ever considered. Some people really struggle to handle their emotions, don’t they.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.
This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

Why are we cutting taxes when we have so much debt?
Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?
JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

I saw a longer version of this on Facebook and various thoughts started bouncing around in my head including, is Gen X about to wake up and start punching above our relatively light weight? We’re a relatively small generation. If so, it’s about damn time.
The great sleeping giant of America always remains asleep until some venality becomes so noxious, some action so disrespectful of the common good, some brutality so noisy, that he has no choice but to awaken.
I believe that sleeping giant is awake – and turning the tide on Trump.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.
