Crazy coincidence that the two World Cup winners today were also the first two countries to recognize the United States.
Here’s a taste of today’s naturalization ceremony in Northampton
Bill Scher@billscher.bsky.social · last mo.The two best things to do on July 4 are the Chesterfield, MA parade (starting with the 7 AM pancake breakfast at the firehouse) and the Northampton, MA immigrant naturalization ceremony, 11 AM outside the Hampshire County Courthouse
And…the Dow drops back down to under 50k. Again. Thanks Trump!
Dear Democratic Party- please get your shit together. CA district 40 is an absolute disaster- looking like we’ll get to choose between two R’s because you can’t figure out having 5 people running in a jungle primary is a terrible idea. Well done.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
This man is just so incredibly stupid. How can it possible to know so little about damn near everything?
BREAKING: Mike Johnson reveals why he REFUSES to swear in Adelita Grijalva. #TrumpEpsteinFiles
Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists these days. Jack Posobiec, Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Then Pizzagate, Macron leaks, election-fraud narratives in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/
MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.
A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

Got a $103.50 tariff bill (accumulated 60% duty) from FedEx for some yarn my wife bought on Etsy. Thanks Donald! Glad to see other countries are paying the tariffs.
Dow is now lower than it was on 20 January, 2025. Well done Donald.
Nice to see Trey Parker and Matt Stone not at all bending the knee. Well done, #SouthPark.
Wherein our President gives a hostile foreign government literal *permission* to fire missiles at our soldiers. W.T.F.
NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last yr.UPDATE: Remember this case, where a federal judge savaged the Trump administration's "evidence" that a woman was in Tren de Aragua? Well, last week the Trump administration arrested her and her husband for the THIRD TIME — and now they say they'll use the Alien Enemies Act on them!
I do not understand how an EO (which is not a law) can be used as the basis for stripping a state of its legally obligated funding from the Federal gov’t? What am I missing here?
Is it just me or does SCOTUS seem to be going out of their way to not make any actual rulings on Trump’s actions but instead shirking the broader issues and hiding behind legal technicalities?
Beyond tired of everyone giving the damn bully their lunch money. Punch. Back.
Has there ever been a more useless political party than the current iteration of the Democrats? Feckless cowards in leadership, no agenda, no plan. Useless.
Oh, hey, look, the Dow and NASDAQ are negative again. Waiting for anyone at all to cover the bloodbath that has been Wall Street the past few weeks.
It feels like every time Trump starts talking I lose like 2% on my 401k. MAGA, I guess.
Plus or minus a Scaramucci, I wonder how long until MAGAworld starts complaining about ‘how unfairly the woke liberal media treated Andrew Tate’.
NASDAQ down ~5% since Trump’s inauguration. Making America Great by killing my 401k. Thanks Trump!
And…the Dow and NASDAQ nearly where they were when he was inaugurated. Well done, Trumpy.
Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Is Doge Taking Credit for President Carter's Death?: An Investigative Report by a data junkie with too much time on his hands 1/6
Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social · last yr.UPDATE: It’s 6:30 pm ET on Monday, February 17 and DOGE has updated the “Savings” page on its site. The site’s “Wall of Receipts” includes a “subset” of contract and lease cancellations. (I guess they meant to say “some receipts coming over the long weekend.”) www.doge.gov/savings
Wondering how long it is that DOGE’s vaunted team of experts determine that actually all of the waste in federal employment and things like NIH grants is only in blue states? I give it a Scaramucci before they ‘uncover’ data to support that.
Why do I get the feeling that if the top two Democrats had 18 children from 7 different women we’d never hear the end of it? Something something #familyvalues I suspect.
Why do I have the feeling that the law of unintended consequences is going to come back and bite us all?Taking a hatchet to the Federal government is not only illegal, it’s incredibly stupid.
The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
