A Build America, Buy America law is causing construction delays amid the US housing crisis A law requiring that most materials in federally funded affordable housing are made in America is fully kicking in. But it is wreaking havoc on affordable developments.

Random man that looked familiar offered to take a picture of my friends and I after our annual birthday celebration dinner last night.
Realized after he walked away that it was @tomperriello.bsky.social ! Thanks for the great photo!

NEW: Trump appointed 12 Big Tech executives including Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

This board is usually made up of top scientists and doctors.

In the Trump Administration only money gets a seat at the table.

The airport perks for Congress may be drying up, not a minute too soon Delta Airlines suspends its special congressional service, while a Senate bill could end the line-skipping perk for members of Congress.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com.

Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

Say it with me:

We don't have a youth e-bike problem. We have an E-MOTO problem.

Teens are not welcome any where it seems these days. This is very disappointing.

It's not fun or glamourous, but it truly saved me at 45 almost 46 from developing cancer. I should have gotten a colonoscopy sooner given my family history of developing polyps. That conversation is uncomfortable, but please have it, and get the colonoscopy! 2/2

I don't have access to read this, but what I do know is I recently had surgery to remove a precancerous very large polyp following my first colonoscopy. I am grateful that they were able to remove all of the high precancerous cells. 1/2

This weather is bonkers.

Any florals are terrible in food and drinks. Like eating/drinking perfume. No thanks.

Watching this hockey game is exactly like watching travel youth hockey, so if you are enjoying it should check out a youth hockey game sometime!

Gushers. Can’t get enough.

do it! I learned as a kid and when my kid started playing hockey I took a learn to play as an adult and had the best time. I would have joined a league if it wasn't so expensive.

An old white foreign billionaire (hinting at Rupert Murdoch), peeking out from a huge mountain pile of cookies, tells a light-skin-toned construction worker (with a plate and one cookie) about the dark-skin-toned person sitting across from him (with no plate and no cookie) "Careful Mate...that foreigner wants your cookie!"

And the 21st century update:

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Something Big Is Happening A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.

worth the read.

So incredibly f’d up that the family of a famous and successful actor has to use go fund me in order to survive because of medical expenses.

I completely agree about clearing the sidewalks. I will add that buying some of those ice cleats that strap onto your shoes/boots have been a life saver for me having to walk my dog in a neighborhood where some of the sidewalks are clear, but some aren't.

One thing luxury thing I budget for monthly is house cleaning. I have a small townhome and pay $180, not sure how he is getting house cleaning for $80!

After decades of diet culture consuming me and not eating cereal, I recently starting eating it again. Man, is it good and convenient and can be healthy!

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Agree. Although an ambulance got stuck last night in my neighborhood because the roads still hadn’t been cleared at that point. Still dangerous not having emergency access to residences. Luckily after that they sent the large front loader to scrap the roads since regular plows couldn’t move it.

Road still has not seen a salt or plow truck from VDOT at the top of our neighborhood. They tried to come earlier but could not make it with the ice on our hill into the neighborhood. Did I mention that it’s the only way in and out?
