HEADS UP: The Icing on This Bigoted BS Shitcake of a Bill is also a Backdoor Abortion Ban. Anyone celebrating their independence today is not to be trusted.

The new "no taxes on tips" provision specifies it's for industries where tipping is the norm BUUUUT it doesn't outline what those industries are. It's literally open to interpretation.

Gee, can't wait for every corporate HR to pass a tablet w/ tip options after every company training seminar.

They've got to applaud themselves for "increasing" that chocolate ration...

This monstronsity of a bill passes (as expected 🤮) AND #A03 is down for maintenance?!? How am expected to cope without my emotional support fics? The original stories?!? That's just cruel.😟

First panel: Two images are compared side by side. The text reads: Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. On the left, US Vice President J.D. Vance is pictured with the quote "it's immaterial" after voting for a bill that remove 17 million people from healthcare and transfer 4 billion dollars in weath to billionares. On the right is an image of Ebenezer Schrooge saying "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" from "A Christmas Carol." In the bottom panel is a picture of Pam from the Office that reads "They're the same picture."

I don't ever remember reading Dickens and thinking "Ah yes, this sounds amazing."

We learn today that Labour’s welfare compromise will STILL send 150,000 people into poverty.

Just think about that - a Labour Government voluntarily chooses to increase poverty. Scotland is taking a different course thanks to the SNP. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Imagine someone paying top dollar for you to stay in a hotel room and still go hungry. That's the reality for many homeless families.

Listen to @propublica.org and New York Focus reporter Spencer Norris break down his investigation into how hotels became New York’s default answer to homelessness.

This "biggest Medicare fraud" story seems AWFULLY convenient as historic cuts to Medicare are literally being debated on the floor of the senate.

It's been reported more than 90 private jets landed in Venice for that tacky wedding.

Y'all could like... carpool instead?

I mean, surely *some* of you could have travelled together.

Today is a SCOTUS opinion day.

We’re still waiting on rulings in two major cases: one on Louisiana’s congressional map, and another on whether courts can issue nationwide injunctions. Decisions come out at 10 a.m. ET — watch this space for updates!

Gun rights, anti-abortion groups challenge Minnesota lobbying disclosure rules The groups’ attorney says the public doesn’t have a right to information about spending on grassroots lobbying.

This is what they call a “tell.” www.startribune.com/gun-rights-a...

It's really a shame that Kyle Riker only showed up once in the series. God what I wouldn't give to have seen Will and his dad rebuild their relationship over time.

I know it's hinted in later seasons.

I guess the notion of parents learning from their mistakes & change is just a fantasy...

It's an absolute joke for people like Emmer and Fischbach to sign onto this. It's performative. Please, I am *begging* you, do not give them a platform to pretend like they haven't antagonised the rhetoric to this point.

It was my honour to officiate the wedding of a dear friend today. On such a dark day for so many friends across Minnesota, it was reminder that there is nothing more radical than love.

Speaker Emerita Hortman was a powerhouse.

MN will not be intimidated. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Just so I'm clear—the US couldn't shut down for 2 WEEKS to end COVID, fix the student loan debt crisis, or provide nationalised healthcare because of *checks notes* the economy.

But the flaming hot cheeto can can tank the same economy to, as Lutnick claims, bring automated manufacturing to the US?

Star Trek The Animated series scene. It's a cartoon shot and we see an outstretched arm holding a communicator in open position. You can't hear it because it's a picture but it makes a cute lil' chirp sound when you flip it open. Sometimes when I go to pay at a store I do this with my wallet and make the sound effects, it's a lot of fun, you should try it. It definitely won't embarrass your spouse. Closed caption reads: [PURRING HAPPILY]

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Since Paramount wouldn't give us #Sela in #Picard, I made my own.

Who wants to be a space princess when you could be an empress instead?

In the upright position, The Empress Tarot card represents creative expression, nurturing, and grace.

Reversed, she signals self-love and discovery. 💚🖤
