Bluesky fail - what happened?

Voting for Republicans

Ford retreats from EVs, takes $19.5 billion charge as Trump policies grip industry It's the most dramatic example yet of the auto industry's retreat from battery-powered models in response to the Trump administration's policies and weakening EV demand.

Maybe they shouldn't have given up on EVs so easily.

I thought he said we won and it was over...like four weeks ago, or something like that. I've lost track.

It's great how everyone believes every update from him, when he's purposely being kept in the dark by his own people. As always, he has no idea what is going on.

They're trying to figure out the maximum they can give to him without angering their base.

My husband has started thrifting (because our main business depends on consumer sentiment, and is really slow right now) and just sold two micro cassette voice-activated tape recorders. They sell at a premium!

Budgie tail feather

Got one too!

I *believe* this is it:

Swalwell and Gonzales expose an ugly truth: Washington is built to protect creeps The tight margins in Congress, raw power plays and a lack of political will constantly forces female victms to remain silent and women members of Congress to force their leaders to do the right thing,...

A little righteous anger from me about everything disgusting about Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales:
-Democratic leadership wouldn't have done a damn thing if women hadn't spoken up
-GOP leadership only kicked out Tony because Democrats kicked out Swalwell

Well, I did enjoy the bubble part a tiny bit.

soap bubbles are floating in the air in the dark Alt: soap bubbles are floating in the air in the dark

I did not enjoy my time living through the bubble/bust.

Too bad my advisor sold it a couple of years ago 😑

Without watching his media hits, his facial expression alone emits Central Casting cult member.

Untrue, and this isn't court, and that's irrelevant in the workplace.

A congressperson's workplace isn't a court of law, it's just that - a workplace. He *admitted* to his inappropriate behavior, and resigned. That is the appropriate remedy here. As for the allegation of illegal behavior, those will be litigated in a court of law. You are not getting the distinction.

Testimony *is* evidence.

These are the best (and really easy). I've had a bunch for years. They also move well. A rubber mallet is helpful (but not absolutely necessary).

Empty congressional seats always have to be filled by special primaries and elections at a time set by the governor of the state.

I'm not enjoying all the "wait for actual evidence" folks on here. Multiple accounts like this should be *more*than enough.

The Catholic Church will campaign against Ohio’s abortion-rights amendment. What about the separation of church and state? Religious organizations are barred under their tax-exempt status from endorsing candidates, but are allowed to back ballot issues, legal experts said.

Hmmm.

I miss Lina Khan (lucky NYC).

Posts like this are why we missed you so much! (That and your dahlias (as I look at tubers I need to plant today 😆).

And joyfully, the MAGAs vocally don't like it.

Maybe he can just make an AI version of his office with a legless version of himself where people can meet with him for a chat. I can't think of a good name for a place like that...

So after HR Block desktop kicked up an error when I tried to file (over S-corp medical), and told me I had to file by mail (never had that happen before), I redid them from scratch on freefileusa (recalling your previous post on the subject), and it was great! E-filed with no issue.

Too many people are more worried about keeping their jobs than doing the right thing. It's exhausting.

He is delusional if he thinks he's not going to have to drop out.

Every part of this is gross, but that it was an "open secret," repugnant.
