It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Very different people. None of them this vulgar.

Elise Stefanik’s journey: moderate Republican (2015) to MAGA warrior (2019 onward) to House leadership (2021) to potential VP (wasn’t picked) to maybe Speaker (didn’t run) to UN Ambassador nominee (withdrawn) to NY governor candidate (ended campaign) to retiring. All in a decade.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

I want to drive a dump truck of cow manure to the Microsoft headquarters and drop it off in the lobby as a thank you.

They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.
Is there a way to get this mind-numbing Co-Pilot shit off Microsoft Word?

Rob Reiner was a master storyteller whose gifts transcended genre & scope, from larger than life adventure to intimate horror to childlike wonder and beyond. He was truly one of one. As you wish.

"Jobs including doctors, nurses and support staff," it says.

They intend to drive up patient wait times to create dissatisfaction with VA, leading veterans to, presumably, call for privatization.

They can't suggest privatization now because veterans love VA. So they intend to turn vets against it.
Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.

The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."
