The GOP U.S. Supreme Court is not a court-it's an arm of the GOP. In 2028 we need Democratic presidential candidates to make reforming this corrupt court one of the top priorities!

I disagree. Shame is a healthy reponse to grievous misbehavior. If we escape this nightmare it's important that our children and theirs remember e ery sordid detail of what happened.

It's shitty behavior but not illegal when the benefactor is a U. S. national. It's definitely a crime when a foreign national is paying the bill. Which is what seems like is going on in a number of these cases.

Obviously no one should try to criminalize the freedom to voice and promote even reprehensible political opinions. It's the use of that right to promote the opinions of others, hiding their identities to create an illusion of authenticity, and being paid for it.

If we somehow escape this nightmare and find ourselves with competent leaders again, one thing I would like to see is agressive prosecution of those who sold their free speech rights to foreign interests. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign...

The current maladministration sounds like a rats nest of competing interests with nothing in common except replacing our representative democracy with different flavors of autocracy that benefit their paymasters - both foreign and domestic.

The 2026 GOP budget slashes $12B from education, kills 40+ K-12 programs, wipes out special ed grants, & guts TRIO, GEAR UP, and work-study.
It’s a blueprint to dismantle public schools & abandon kids. Congress must reject it.

So AOL is dropping support for dial-up internet in September. I had no idea there _was_ still dial-up. Or AOL for that matter. www.tomshardware.com/service-prov...
AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day
But there remain a few options to plug in your 56K (or slower) screeching modem into.
