I’ve been in travel for over 50 years and love it. Just moved from LA to Milwaukee a few weeks ago to be near my daughter and family, who moved in June. Civil rights, pro choice lead the way along with resisting the clowns. Love being here on Bluesky

Are you 🤬ing kidding me??? Criminalizing Habit for Humanity? I know Elon Musk believes empathy is the weakness of our society, does that mean the entire MAGA movement goes along with that maniacal ideology too???
Come on America, we are so much better than this.

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.
FBI ordered Citibank to freeze the group bank's accounts.

Be clear. $8 billion was an error. They misread $8 million! And it’s not saving. It’s cutting services, necessary research, assistance to millions here and overseas, and enforcement of laws that protect consumers and workers.
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that

"Maybe before coming after USAID, Republicans should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

Beyoncé is donating $2.5 million to the wildfire relief efforts in California with her BeyGood foundation.
More than Elon Musk and Donald Trump combined...
Which is easy since they haven't donated any money.

Ex-Texan here. And this is spot on. It’s called the Iron River. If you go to a small border town, just observe how many gun sellers are there. It’s much easier for Cartels to buy guns in the U.S. than in Mexico.
The number of gun trace requests from the Mexican government went up 25% between 2021-2023.
Investigators found that 76% of those guns were sold in Southwest border states, Texas and Arizona.
Most ended up in crime scenes in Mexican provinces besieged by transnational criminal organizations.

The U.S. and Mexico are working closer than ever to trace the origin of guns used in drug cartel massacres and other crimes south of the border.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour
The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

Why is there any discussion about this? It is utterly and totally disqualifying. Sex with an unconscious person is rape.
Pete Hegseth published a story saying sex with an unconscious woman isn’t rape. To be clear, he didn’t write it, but he published it.
This is who Trump the misogynist, sexual predator relates to ~ other misogynistic sexual predators. It’s beyond disgusting. 🤢

Love Harry Litman and his expert legal perspective on things. His Talking Feds YouTube channel is amazing! @harrylitman.bsky.social
Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman: "But in fact, President Biden’s pardon was justified and falls within the heartland of executive clemency cases. A clear-eyed analysis of the facts, the law, and, crucially, DOJ standard practice in Hunter Biden’s case establishes this."
Night of the Hunter
You could almost hear the howls of protest begin on Capitol Hill the moment President Biden announced he was granting a pardon to his son, Hunter.

Here’s the reality.
No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear
Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination
Pardon warranted
