“After a month in the studio,” he said, “I’d packed my bags when Quincy [Jones] called & said they had one more song for me. I wanted to go home but he insisted: “Man, it’s a good song. It won’t take long.”

In 2022, CA paid $83 billion more to the federal govt than it got back.”

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company Is Tunneling Beneath Las Vegas With Little Oversight

A lot of people are asking, “What can we do to protect our parks from being destroyed by the Trump admin?” Let’s be honest, the next four years are going to be tough. Just like the first term, we anticipate a relentless assault on the environment-maybe even worse, now that lessons were learned. 1/4

This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.
