I got the #Wordle on the first guess today, which never happened before, & I’m wondering what it says about my psyche that I chose this particular starting word. (I don’t have a set word that I always use. I pick a word at random each day - whatever pops into my head.) 🤔

Putin’s best ROI - Donald Trump.
That is powerful!
I hope people understand that Louisiana, and the South, are the way they are because the people in power will do everything they can to keep us down. Good for him for saying it to their faces.
Trippy - I love it!
How about this?
Instead of threatening to hold Pam Bondi in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about Epstein, just fucking do it already.
In a major state antitrust investigation, California's Attorney General has unsealed hundreds of records revealing that Amazon illegally pressures its marketplace sellers to engage in price-fixing.
While Trump's DOJ lets corporate lawbreakers off the hook, states are still holding them accountable.
And it SHOULD have its own Congresspeople and Senators! DC has more residents than either Vermont or Wyoming, but instead of having representatives in federal government, it is ruled directly by the federal government.

I have the same question — how do you know that Warren could easily find out the answer herself? Where is that information available?
And from the "Annals of Being Surprised that Water is Wet," a new study found that ICE has been hiring people with "questionable qualifications" and histories of lying to frame innocent people.
Seriously, though, it is good that they did the careful study even though the results are obvious.
That is exactly the kind of unity we need! Thank you @tommalinowski.bsky.social for showing how it’s done!
I wish that incumbents who are past retirement age & have held their seats for 20+ years would support the next generation of leaders instead of trying to stay in power til their last breaths.
Solar panels should absolutely be put onto the roofs of all government and commercial buildings and installed over above-ground parking lots. They should NOT be taking over our green spaces, farmland, and hillsides!
Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center.
They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.
Tax breaks for just four corporations—Amazon, Alphabet, Google, and Tesla—blew a $51 BILLION hole in the deficit last year.
Every penny being taken from healthcare, housing, childcare, and food assistance is paying for that.
This Tax Day, every American should know:
Because of Trump, Amazon avoided paying over 90% of the taxes it owed.
That's $17.5 billion that should be going to health care, schools, child care, and more.
But instead, Jeff Bezos gets wealthier.
Congress needs to tax the rich.
You did a great job, but it was still extremely frustrating to watch! Sen. Johnson claimed it was important to stay on topic & then demanded to know if you supported the Ayatollah?!? I hate that hearings are set up to be “gotchas” rather than real working sessions where ideas are exchanged.
😢
…could American civilians — even if they were armed to the full extent allowable under a generous reading of 2A that Sens. Johnson & Paul apparently favor — ever actually mount a successful challenge against the U.S. government?)
🧵 4/4 (at least for now)
3. If the U.S. government started doing to U.S. citizens the terrible things that Iran is doing to Iranian citizens, would exercising our 2A rights be an effective way to prevent that government tyranny?
(Or, put another way…
🧵 3/
2. If 2A was enacted for the purpose of allowing private citizens to protect themselves from a tyrannical government, under what circumstances would I, a private citizen, be justified in using my Constitutionally-guaranteed right to bear arms to defend myself against the U.S. government?

I wish I could ask Sen. Johnson & Sen. Paul three questions:
1. What part of the 2nd Amendment talks about a personal right of self defense?
🧵 1/
Because USA is #1! We CANNOT and Will Not be beaten, even in Stupidity. Do not attempt to Challenge us by doing Dumb things because WE will Outdo you every time in a race to the Bottom! Thank You Bigly!
Even for a degenerate like Johnson, this is a stunning misrepresentation. Just War theory delineates when it is permissible to go to war if there are no other appropriate options & what the ethical limits to how such a war can be conducted. Preemptive attack for incoherent reasons is not covered.
Calling Mike Johnson a weasel would be a shameless affront on the dignity of weasels.
Wow - that capsule is way bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It’s like a mini Tardis.
How TF is this chatter happening on a “news” station??? I knew that Fox News was bad — but this is frightening.
Yup - it’s clear that the Pope is on a mission from God! Now we just need him to team up with Dan Akroyd and the rest of the band so they can kick some saggy butt!
