Just in case it isn't clear, Trump's "federal funding freeze" is literally stealing the public's money - money that pays for food assistance, domestic violence shelters, suicide prevention hotlines, cancer research, and the work of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Congrats to the AP for getting this headline right.

Please notice who runs the wire story and doesn't.

Critical thinking skills, and information retention appear to have become passé.
This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

Bowie was consistently ahead of the curve as his music showed time and again. Cue today’s playlist…
Bowie, gone nine years ago today.

His unbelievably prescient BBC interview — from 1999, about the internet’s sudden, mass adoption — is always worth a listen.

I heard Mike on the Knowledge Fight podcast sometime in 2023 or early 2024. Thoughtful guy. I’m buying the book now and sending positive energy to all affected
Mike's book "Jewish Space Lasers" explained the centuries-long history of how Marjorie Taylor Greene came to blame wildfires on fictional direct energy weapons instead of climate change.

Yesterday, Mike's house burned down from climate-induced wildfires.

Please buy his remarkable book.
We lost our house in the Eaton Fire. We're safe, but the level of devastation is impossible to convey. I won't be able to work for a while, so if you want to support us, I'd appreciate a Patreon subscription or buying one of my books. It will help.

Senator Fetterman, please ensure the Dreamers are protected!
ICE reported tens of thousands of migrants with criminal records — homicide or sexual assault.

425,000 have criminal records in total and should be deported.

I support a secure border.

I support a legal path for Dreamers.

I support the Laken Riley Act.

Totally on point! But what’s really sad is that this cultural reference is almost extinct. Where is the Eddie Haskell meme reel?

I appreciate politicians who are thoughtful and measured, who keep their comments/rants to regular “business” hours. I didn’t buy a ticket for the circus.
