If the President can spend $$$ in any fashion, we effectively don't have a Congress, and the Constitution is over.

Capt. Obvious: VT is a tiny state. You can throw a rock from most any spot and hit another state. So if you move 2 hours from your house, there's a good chance you've left the state. In most every other state, that means you're still in your home state. vtdigger.org/2026/07/08/p...

Poll: Most young Vermonters say they’re likely to leave state amid affordability concerns - VTDigger

“I think there's a lot of frustration out there,” said Gov. Phil Scott in response to the poll. “We have a lot of work to do to make Vermont the affordable state that these folks need.”

internet advertising is stupid. Me: bought a Rollo laser printer in March. Ever since then, Youtube spikes every video with an ad for Rollo. WTF. Absolutely wasted money on Rollo's part.

Medicare Advantage accounted for 53% of total Medicare spending ($534 billion) in 2025. Enrollment is rising and Medicare is projected to spend $76 billion more on Medicare Advantage in 2026 than it would if the beneficiaries were in traditional Medicare. 🔗: https://on.kff.org/4p4bDGn

This is maddening, @balint.house.gov @welch.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov. A complete layer of grift.

The image is a graphic with text highlighting Medicare spending statistics. It states, "$534 Billion. Spending on Medicare Advantage was $534 billion in 2025, over half (53%) of total Medicare program spending. Medicare pays an estimated 14% more per enrollee in Medicare Advantage than it would if the same beneficiary were covered by traditional Medicare." The source is cited as KFF, "Key Facts About Medicare Spending Trends and Projections from the 2026 Medicare Trustees Report," June 24, 2026. The background is green, and the text is white.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office.

Lakers are better off without Lebron. 41 years old. Time catches up, and sometimes in a single season.

Can confirm the news that after eight seasons and an NBA title, LeBron James is moving on from the Lakers, his agent Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told @ocregister.bsky.social. An NBA-earthquake decision that makes the Lakers a purely Luka Doncic-led franchise.

IT WAS 2016. You ain't helping things if you excuse current behavior because someone else did it 10 years ago and hasn't said sorry.

Fine, but before I sign on to court packing, all the Bernie Sanders/ Jill Stein voters who screwed up in 2016 have to ADMIT how badly they screwed up.

Within the next 10 years, the northeastern US will experience an extreme heat dome with 5+ days of 100°+F temps and nighttime lows above 80°F. Brownouts will occur, and thousands of people will die. It will be ugly.
