It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

Does anyone think that Meta cares how they make money?
Matt Burgess (WIRED)@mattburgess1.bsky.social · 8h agoNEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM.

Capital One has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump Org. over the closure of hundreds of bank accounts in 2021, arguing that the shutdowns were the product of a monthslong anti-money-laundering review — not retaliation for the Capitol riot, as the Trump businesses have claimed.
And narcissistic personality disorder, and, at this stage, psychosis.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
You can either tell the truth or you can work for Trump. You can’t do both.

Remember Trump's disastrous Great American State Fair? He's now asking Congress for an additional $10M to reimburse costs for his July 4th "Freedom 250" flop. That's on top of the $100M+ in taxpayer funds that's already been funneled into his MAGA party planning committee.

But our current Congress, as an institution, is too corrupt and cowardly to fulfill its constitutional duty to exercise this power and duty. And that, sadly, is where we are today.
