Under the MAGA Republican system of government, it’s the executive branch’s job to rape democracy. It’s the legislative branch’s job to watch them do it.

Most Americans support his plans to deport undocumented immigrants and send troops to the border but by a 3-1 margin those with an opinion think taking over Gaza is a bad idea and 2/3 think he is not focused enough on lowering prices.
Trump has a 53% approval rating in a new CBS News poll, higher than in other surveys. Most Americans in this poll say Trump is doing what he promised on the campaign trail and describe him as tough, energetic, focused and effective. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

Two black QBs are facing off against each other today.

They have the 1st and 3rd best records in football, the 3rd and 6th raw QB ratings, the 3rd and 5th expected yards on passes, and the 3rd and 6th expected yards on runs.

Or as republicans call it, DEI.

Okay, update #2:

Thank you all for the well wishes and understanding.

In 5 more posts I’ll have skeeted 1000 times on this platform.

Have I strived to ensure they are well researched and fact checked? No.

But have I at least strived to ensure they are entertaining? Again, no.

But did I at least enjoy myself while doing it? Also, no.

EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Want to provide charging in areas with on-street parking? Collaborate with utilities to install secondary meters on existing structures sending trenched power to EV chargers they install streetside.

That's the most complicated solution and still very possible and much cheaper than DC fast charging.

So, if an apartment complex installs just a dozen L2 chargers, that can take care of some 48 cars at least.

Worried about coordination between people? Then install load-sharing EV chargers which spread the same power over more plugs.

There are tons of inexpensive solutions. Right now.

Just listened to an All Things Considered piece on electric cars in Norway and while it was overall a pretty good piece,

NOT ONCE did it mention at-home charging.

Lots of discussion about new chargers at Circle-K, how taxi drivers are adapting, incentives, range, etc.

No mention of home charging.

My 2025 year in review so far is just a constant mix of existential dread, banging my head on my desk, insomnia, and all the questionable books I've been reading to keep some shred of my sanity.

America, you are in danger, girl!

Elon Musk and his hackers—aka DOGE—are everywhere within our federal government, and they are spreading. Pay attention, connect the dots, and call it out—before it’s too late.

Kanye West was quiet about his antisemitism, homophobia, sexism, ableism, and other prejudices for the last couple of years. Now suddenly he’s gotten very very loud.

It is almost as if something changed recently that emboldened him.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

What I'm getting from this stream of nonsense is that Musk will probably use his control over the FAA to award Starlink a fat contract.
