Sadly the world lost a great man today. Pope Francis was a great human and a beloved pontif. I can't help but wonder if his meeting with JD Vance was a factor in his leaving us behind a day after Easter?

Musk and his rats have nothing whatever to do with rooting out “waste and fraud.” Their real purpose is to usurp Congress’s authority over spending, under Article I Section 8 of the Constitution. Some thoughts...
Musk’s rats
They’re burrowing into every data system in the federal government, although many wouldn’t pass a security test

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA

After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

In recent days we’ve seen a number of Conservative politicians claim the last government left the UK with “the fastest growing economy in the G7”.

Our politics blog looks at what that claim is based on 👇
