80 degrees yesterday so we went driving around the countryside in the convertible. Woke up today with thunder snow and wind gust of 25+ and 30 degrees. Only in the Midwest.

Data published on DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” shows that more than one-third of the contract cancellations, 417 in all, are expected to yield no savings.

Even FOX is reporting this!

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.”

The gaslighting is real.

Bluesky won't let me in when I use my android phone. It sees my account but won't let me put in my password. No problems here on my kindle though. Thoughts?

Justin Sun, a Chinese national accused of fraud, sent Donald Trump $18 million last week.

When Hegseth’s nomination falls, that’s going to be three failed cabinet appointees before we even make it to inauguration.

So much for a well-oiled machine.

New clowns, same circus.

Please take the time to read this. Truer words have never been spoken. Is this who we are as Americans?

Trump is still running all his businesses while selling random junk. He has a publicly traded company, and he can easily be bribed. He once again will be in violation of the Constitution day 1. Corporate media should do their damn jobs and focus on it, instead of sanewashing him and his nominees.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Just want to remind everyone George W. Bush held fundraisers for Bob Casey’s opponent and he’s very good friends with Harlan Crow.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.

I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

So my bootlicking Senator, Joni Ernst will be MTG's counterpart in the Senate for the fake DOGE.
She literally tweets 12x her percieved outrage every day. Should fit right in with tweaker Musk.

Sarah McBride should follow Mike Johnson into the bathroom every time he goes just to make him feel uncomfortable.

Worth watching. The World with Richard Engel, the "United States of Emergency" interview with Rachel Maddow. It's her thoughts on Trump's next term and what she fears might happen. I too think these things could happen.

Yesterday on Xhitter, the wealthiest man on earth threatened a gov employee that she was going to lose her job. Gave her name, job title and salary. He also threatened the UK parliament.
I truly fear for us as a country going forward.

Mikhail Zygar explains why Trump's victory is being celebrated in Moscow. Not just because of a change in Ukraine policy, but because "to many in the Kremlin, a Trump presidency might bring about the collapse of the American state"

Thread, from former mentor of Zuckerberg and Sandberg (not former Facebook exec)
We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

I go to You Tube to watch news segments. It's getting noticeably overrun by right wing trolls.

The Senate *hates* Matt Gaetz.

This is going to be an early check on whether or not they’ll be a realistic check on Trump’s power or if they’ll just roll over and do what he wants.

But the fact that a coked up pedo was even nominated for AG is insane.
