I guarantee, if the Nobel Peace Prize committee told Trump he would get their prize if all Americans got free healthcare, it would be a shoe in.
Netanyahu announces that he's awarding the Israel Prize to President Trump. Trump says it's "surprising and very much appreciated"

These people talk about fleeing to a totally foreign country because they feel persecuted. Not by gangs and the government threatening to kill them, like many from Latin America to US. But by LGBTQ discussions in school.

Meet the 'moral migrants' relocating from West to Russia with a 'Shared Values' visa
Imagine moving to a country you've never been to before, with a culture you have no knowledge of and with a language you're unable to speak. You're with your whole family, including three children. And your new home, not your old one, is at war with its neighbour.

makes me think of the warnings people have often made of the unaccountable power of server owners on “decentralized” social media
BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Crucial thing to watch: The Dem blowout wins suggest it'll be way more risky for GOPers to gerrymander, because the GOP safer seats may become more vulnerable than expected. Rs in those seats will now be very nervous.

This is why you're seeing (like in Indiana) sitting GOP electeds not being willing to push gerrymandering further; more GOP districts by the math means making the existing ones weaker. In this environment, it'll be hard to get an existing GOPer to willingly make his own election more competitive

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
