I'm starting a rumor here that Trump wants to eliminate the penny just because Lincoln won the Civil War. #truefacts
President Trump isn't the first politician to call for the end of the penny — but getting rid of it may not be easy. The value of the 1-cent coin has been debated for decades.
Are pennies worth it? Trump's plan to scrap them didn't come out of nowhere

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

The Democratic party is maddening right now. The only way to respond to bullies is to bully right back. Stand up for yourselves, dammit.
It seems Dem concern over the situation has reached “Susan Collin’s furrowed brow”.

This is important to note.
These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

I'm available for interviews with any media outlet or podcast covering the Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing. I did not watch the hearing and have no knowledge or expertise related to the topic so I would not recommend interviewing me, but I am available.

Deeply saddened by the news of British comedian Tony Slattery's death. I loved him. We had major things in common about our psychological life stories and I always wanted to meet him and tell him so. I wanted to emulate him in style and humor and thought he was handsome.

ASL and English are not the same language.
ASL has no written form.
Reading English subs is not = to seeing ASL & many Deaf ppl need sign to fully understand info.

Fuck Manchin and Sinema. Turncoats.
What a huge loss for labor. Democrats had an opportunity to lock in a majority on the NLRB till 2026 ... and Manchin + Sinema just sabotaged them. Now Trump can immediately stack the board with union-loathing conservatives who'll undo four years of progress. www.axios.com/2024/12/11/s...
