I know this is the Sun but I firmly believe that the stories from the ranch are gonna be worse than the island when all is said and done

“I’m not in a position to opine on my opinion” That’s racist speak for “I’m a racist but too chickenshit to own it”

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Another layer of irony. Iran charging transit at Hormuz will be a de facto carbon tax on oil. The tax Big Oil fought for decades will now be administered by Iran. Us climate-huggers always hoped those funds would go to climate resilience, but the toll-taking is what matters most. Thanks, Trump!

Lower profile election, but nothing better encapsulates the trend in the Democratic Party of the outsiders becoming the insiders

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

Haley Stevens says she will fully support @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Literally Apple and Android could end the majority of distracted driving tomorrow simply by locking out all but a handful of apps when it detects the phone moving at a certain speed and held at a certain orientation.

What solutions are out there for getting drivers off their phone? (non-rhetorical)

Absolutely unhinged to say “I'm having a little something dropped off for you that I once heard might help cheer one up. I hope it helps” and then send this over.

It could be more psychotic if he selected the "make the image a 1000 piece puzzle" option instead of 25 pieces

So basically if they survive long enough to make it to the hospital in an ambulance, they're "no longer in ICE custody" and they won't tell us? That's horrific.

from where i sit the "talarico has a black voter problem" thing seems to have been largely pushed by a group of influencers who were some of Jasmine Crockett's biggest supporters, i'm sure that's not the whole thing but that's what it seemed like

Narratives on here are not reality

Lovely New York Central System poster from 1946 by American illustrator Leslie Ragan (1897-1972). The feeling you must’ve gotten as a visitor to the US during the steam engine boom must’ve been one of looking into the future.

Elon is talking about using robots to build a mass accelerator on the moon in support of an economy 1000x to 1 million times the current earth economy. It's a bad sci fi novel not an earnings call.

animals in the wild generally don’t have buttocks! because they’re not bipedal!

This behavior makes me understand why Dem primary voters are looking left for new leaders. I wish I could say they have their eyes on the ball here. But they don’t either. www.offmessage.net/p/senate-dem...

Huh. Ellison’s op-ed didn’t get into this at all. Guess he just ran out of space talking about his values and the truth.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

300 million years ago, dragonflies the size of hawks patrolled the swamps and millipedes grew longer than your leg. The air was richer in oxygen then, and insects breathe through passive tubes that only reach so far into the body. More oxygen, bigger bug. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Ron Filipkowski of MeidasNews noted: “Pretty convenient that Trump gets immunity from IRS audits for the year where he made, by far, the most money of his entire life in shady deals all over the globe.”
