BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history.

“We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Perfection
While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

These are the words of an American President who is systematically suppressing speech & trying to destroy the First Amendment. These are the words of an American President who believes he’s a king. And his supporters, who all feign support for free speech, won’t say a damn thing.

.@elonmusk just called Senator Mark Kelly a “traitor.” Every Republican Member of Congress should be asked immediately if they agree with Musk.

Happy Paczki Day! Here's that time I went and helped make #paczki at Smurawa's Country Bakery in Pulaski, Wisconsin. Really wanted to go again this year, but work... work ruins everything! Unless it's paczki making, then it's delicious.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

As long as BlueSky keeps its video limit to 1 minute, important info in this era is not going to be shared in a way that helps the public.

Most people aren’t going to take the time to split clips and do a thread.

Linking to other sites doesn’t work.

The video limit needs to be increased ASAP.

This the exact opposite of universal basic income. A proper UBI would reduce the incomes of the top 10% via higher taxes and boost the incomes of the bottom 60%. Instead they're robbing from the poor to give to the rich.
The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca
In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

Hey travelers, I'm just curious: would you ever fly to Europe from North America on a ticket that's cheaper because it doesn't allow you to have even a carry-on bag?
