Huh, maybe you shouldn’t have nominated three members from congress when you already had a small majority to begin with?
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who serves on the powerful Oversight and Homeland Security Committees, is unsurprisingly deciding that there’s voter fraud in a California congressional district based on a random account’s suggestions.

The “Popular With Friends” feed is an easy way to keep up with the most liked posts from people you follow.
Doesn’t necessarily replace a “Trending” feature, but it’s better than nothing.

Way too early 2028 prediction: Georgia and North Carolina both swing back blue. Georgia has been trending left for a while now while the down ballot races in NC heavily favored Dems this cycle. Thoughts?

You would think with the cost of eggs supposedly being so high, grocery stores would be somewhat empty on the weekends.
That hasn’t been my experience at all since the pandemic ended.

We’re used to a symbol ✔️ to verify identity and status, which is hierarchical & binary. On bsky, our mods label 🔴 false identities as impersonations and we have more than a binary symbol ✔️ for you to express your presence, like custom domains!

The New York Post editorial board on their meeting with RFK Jr:
“When it came to that topic his views were a head-scratching spaghetti of what we can only call warped conspiracy theories, and not just on vaccines…In fact, we came out thinking he’s nuts on a lot of fronts.”

Any senator that votes to confirm him after all this evidence is a traitor to this country.
Things are getting worse for Matt Gaetz.
A woman testified under oath to the House Ethics Committee earlier this year that she saw Matt Gaetz have sex with the 17 year-old minor.
The woman's lawyer said that she "witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017."
