Reason n+1 not to post things about children
Meta has enabled Muse to build extensive and ever-growing profiles on the orbit of people in a user’s life. Based on user input but also “publicly available information.” Whether that means a web search, Facebook’s own extensive data, or buying data broker info…we don’t know? And we can’t opt out.
The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days
🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.
By vote to 47 to 51, with John Fetterman siding with the Republicans, the US Senate officially declared it was perfectly fine with Israel murdering nine Americans, and it had no interest in demanding any explanation for the murders. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to use expanded database for potential voter purges
Critics have said the data could lead to U.S. citizens being kicked off the voter rolls, but the justices noted the law prohibits broad voter purges in the weeks leading up to an election.

can't believe the car that runs on millions of tiny explosions transmitting energy through a complex series of oily metal parts doesn't last as long as the one that's four wheels attached to a battery

Every one of these people view their positions in the government as an opportunity to cash in on multiple grifts while traveling the world and having a great time at our expense.
So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”
I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.
“There was absolutely ample water available to keep the river colder,” said Jon Rosenfield, science director for @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social, but the Trump admin chose to deliver large quantities of from Shasta reservoir this summer. “The fish are not being protected...those eggs are getting cooked.”
This major California river has gotten too warm for its salmon
The Sacramento River has gotten too warm for salmon eggs. Environmental advocates blame the Trump administration for taking too much water out of Shasta Lake.

it does seem suspicious that Lady Gaga would choose to have her baby at *checks notes* the largest hospital system in Southern California
Ah, ok. Well people are also mad at her for having her baby at a Jewish hospital with alleged “ties to Israel”. This rampant antisemitism is fucking exhausting.
RFK Jr should be the 1st of several impeachments in the next Congress. #ImpeachRFKJr #Vote

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Don't compromise with bigots. Should be an obvious political strategy. The bigots will still hate you, make up lies about how you want to mutilate children or something and never vote for you, and now you're a bigot yourself.
It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.
BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.
We don’t need our journalistic watchdogs to have “access” to Trump Everyone in the press room should walk out in protest … and source up.
Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was. RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.
As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!
