“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober…”
Breaking: Joe Biden pardons his son, Hunter Biden.
“It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.”
Hello from my childhood bedroom 👋
To be fair she does look like a chicken.
Just saw one Facebook group share another Facebook group's post, that was a screenshot of a tweet commenting on a screenshot of an anonymous unsourced Reddit post.
If you had to choose between the Dubai version or the regular chocolate, which did you like better?
I love Lily’s and have been wanting to try this!
I reached out to Pete Hegseth with some questions about his tattoos and positions on far right extremism.

In 2021, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped of her committee assignments.
Now, she's set to lead a new House subcommittee on government efficiency, reports @anniekarni.bsky.social.
It'll be an extension of Elon Musk/Vivek Ramaswamy's new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Senate Republicans were breathing a deep sigh of relief Thursday afternoon after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) announced he would withdraw his bid to serve as attorney general, acknowledging that allegations of sexual misconduct against him have become “a distraction.”
BREAKING: Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as Trump's attorney general pick.
"While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition," he wrote in a statement.

This chart is pretty insane. More of an overnight social/political-type shift than typical tech adoption imo: techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/b...
Some Trump advisers want private investigators to conduct Cabinet nominees' background checks instead of the FBI.
Why: Many Trump allies don't trust the FBI and it could help some nominees slide through confirmation.
The snag: Senate Republicans are not on board.

Bluesky is cool and good. But that is a slippery slope towards becoming awesome. Should we take steps to make it stupid and bad?

This breakfast burrito is covered in a layer of crispy fried cheese. 🤯
That’s the tweet.
Americans are choosing to get their news filtered thru the lens of influencers, many who have likely never stepped foot in a newsroom
“Most (77%) have no affiliation or background with a news organization.”
