We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

So the FCC chair rails against Kimmel for having the nerve to host a popular show that criticizes Maga Republicans. The network suspends the show. "Free speech" for the far right. Obedience for the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Why people are so sick of both parties: we get hurt every time Democrats win and can't enact their agenda (see: Green New Deal, Repro Access, Student Loans, Health Care). Then we get hurt every time Republicans win and hapless Dems can't stop their agenda.

Watch Dogkiller Noem, who started this "press conference" saying she works for Trump (as if there was any doubt). She's saying she's there to "liberate" people from the "socialist leadership." Right before she has their US senator manhandled out of the room. www.youtube.com/live/OzCq2xx...

This Rep Hosford clip is really something.
Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Happy 11th birthday to 18F. @alt18f.bsky.social
Over the last few years, we made it a point to commemorate the start of 18F with a blog post of our progress. Didn't realize the one I wrote last year would be the last.
I'm glad (more) people know about it now.
