All the important things are simple. All the simple things are hard.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Flying cars, of course. Not EV charging stations, not buses. Fuckin' flying cars.
Dr. Jeff Masters@drjeffmasters.bsky.social · 39m agoFlorida had nearly $200 million to expand electric vehicle charging across the state. While other states used their share of the federal EV charging money to install plugs along highways, malls, etc., Florida didn't, since "the private market has already done enough to serve everyday vehicles.”
Pete Hegseth's hair now holds 60% of our strategic petroleum reserve.
El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
new from @tusk81.bsky.social: Imagine forcing a child who fled violence, trafficking, or abuse to stand alone in immigration court against trained government attorneys. That's exactly what the Trump administration is doing by ending legal funding for nearly 20,000 immigrant children.
Gut Punch to Immigrant Kids: Trump Administration Strips Legal Assistance from Vulnerable Children
Children “who have fled violence, trafficking, and abuse” woke up Saturday without the legal support they were promised, said one legal service provider.

If investors believe this, they deserve to have their money taken. I will shed no tears for someone who loses everything when the grift is this obvious.

If money can’t buy power, the rich have nothing. This is the real revolution.

Come on folks. Give Trump some credit. It’s a lot of work to cheat at 18 holes of golf over 10 years.
We all know what they're going to do 🤨
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayNew in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
This example can be applied to all things Trump, including his stubborn Iran failures and his unending 2020 election lies.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 3h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
voters are clearly indicating that they want to see radical changes. this means that leftists need to move closer to the center and maintain the status quo if they want to win elections.
It’s exactly the same if the U.S. government had come to me, a voter, and asked “how many Americans would u be ok with dying so Donald trump could eat a piece of cheesecake today” except it’s worse because the administration never really asked, they just did it
