Oh so the problem is that congress doesn’t align with the president enough huh? You’re just too darn independent huh?

“Carl Ruby, a Springfield pastor, said he was struggling to make sense of Bel’s untimely death. ‘I know that I’m a pastor and I’m supposed to be forgiving,’ he said. ‘But right now as I sit with a broken family, I’m crying out to God for righteous judgment in those who made this happen.’”
Tom Joscelyn@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · 10h ago“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

much like your posting@mlyp.bsky.social · 2d agoTucked and Cucked
‘ “What I’m hearing when I go across the state is people saying — and these are Republicans, not Democrats — we can’t have six more years of this, or even two more years of this.”’ Wtf do you mean 6 more years of this. Don’t even say that, mister.
TrumpsTaxes@trumpstaxes.com · 2d ago“He’s in serious trouble in farm country. He being Trump - and Trump is us. I’m not very optimistic.” - Sen. Kevin Cramer And then there's this tidbit: 'GOP lawmakers in the South are also seeing unusually adverse polling data' Farm country. The South. Yikes. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Zach was my teaching partner at the Naval War College. He's an all-around great guy with a strong sense of honor and professionalism. He's speaking out against a deep stain on our country: the betrayal of Afghans and others put their lives at risk to work with us.
Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 3d agoExtraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.
With all the talk about trumps weight gain and the exoskeleton he’s definitely wearing to help him walk, I think it’s extra funny he posted an AI generated video of himself waddling.
“There is no plan to ease the entry into the AI era.”
Michael Clemens@mclem.org · 3d ago“The highest priority is a monumental task: creating a domestic and international framework for dealing with AI. “None of our current institutions were designed to handle a technology that spreads so fast and touches so many parts of our lives. So we’ll need to make new ones.” Vast work ahead.
What the hell, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social? Serious loss of cool points for this one. Sucks to see it come from @thebulwark.com of all places.
Adam Bonica@adambonica.bsky.social · 6d agoThe Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:
All hands on deck! This bus is pedal-powered!
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 4d agoThe thing is you have to be a party hack right now if you care about good things because basically nothing matters more than republicans losing and democrats winning, but lots of people want to not be party hacks more than they want good things.
They took away the people’s chance at LEGAL WEED with it, man! Double rude!
TrumpsTaxes@trumpstaxes.com · 4d agoThis is a massive scandal in Florida that directly implicates GOP Sen. Ashley Moody, and could tangentially hurt Byron Donalds in his #FLGov bid. $10M in taxpayer money was meant for health insurance for poor kids. Instead it was routed to GOP PACs. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

One time I did commission a piece of art from a real human artist. It was in college and I gave one friend all the change in my change jar to do a Dude-themed bday picture on the dry erase board on another friend’s door. It was probably $5-6. Today I have even less than that to spend on art. $-287!
Some of you are as insane about AI as MAGA people are about…everything…and need to calm down; you’re being too loud. Some of you seem like you’re eternally having an aneurism. Not good for blood pressure. Toxic fixation. Unhealthy obsession. Need to vary. Switch it up.
Ironically enough, the ICE officer is going to run away through the southern wall to Mexico.
MPR News@mprnews.org · 6d agoA federal judge has refused to order Texas to extradite an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who is charged with shooting and wounding a man in Minneapolis.
Totally worth reading the entire Referee Findings. She says he punched her, he says he slapped her, but there were still marks on her a day or two later. He also donkey-kicked her in the leg. He also had been removed from a Hennepin County building by security before. He also had road rage after.
Daniel Suitor@danielsuitor.com · 6d agoI'm largely holding my tongue on the latest disciplinary decision out of the Minnesota Supreme Court, but apparently the going price for a landlord's attorney slapping an opposing party in the face then, the next day, screaming at her pro bono attorney in the courthouse is a 60-day suspension.
“The entire investigation that led to the Flock searches was performed at the behest of her abusive partner…” aka the guy that pointed a gun at her the day she took the pill. Aka the same guy who has his own criminal trial coming up. Texas, man.
404 Media@404media.co · 6d agoGarrett Langley, Flock’s CEO, told cops that a 404 Media story about cops using Flock to track someone who self-administered an abortion was "entirely false." He's lying.
Why does the workday last two hours after the school day! Hmph!
