The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies.
Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency.
Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors.
In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund.

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year
And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor
And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.
But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.
