He’s outer appearance is becoming a caricature of a cartoon villain. But you can’t even make this stuff up.

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Minnesota stood strong in freezing conditions and were firm that this is not okay. We owe everyone of them a debt of gratitude. In the barrage of horrors, there is hope.

I grieve as well. I am nursing a broken heart but I’m grateful there are people like you who still care and continue to speak for those who don’t have a voice! #staythecourse #nevergiveup

I’m not gonna lie, this breaks my heart on so many levels. But never forget, we ALL still matter! This is tough but this is not the end of the story. #nevergiveup #staythecourse

Systems are crumbling – but daily life continues. The dissonance is real If everything feels broken but strangely normal, the Soviet-era concept of hypernormalization can help

I can relate to the impulse to hyper normalize in our current environment. It’s a natural way to spontaneously self-regulate. It may be necessary to function on a daily basis. But it’s also good to recognize so we can all take action when needed.

Someone needs to explain to this guy the difference between a disease and a neurodevelopmental disorder. Not that he would listen…or care. This guy’s been spouting misinformation for decades. Now he has a freaking platform for his lies.

Trump Crypto Corruption Intensifies as Abu Dhabi Firm Invests $2 Billion President Donald Trump and his family are deeply involved in the world of cryptocurrency as his administration seeks to deregulate the industry.

Case in point:

Antecedent: A foreign entity or wealthy interested party/corporation needs to influence a specific outcome + Behavior: A contribution is made through one of these modes

Well…isn’t that convenient.

There are so many layers of wrong here that many of you have captured in your comments. His comments are the 21st century American version of “Let them eat cake.” We all know how that went down before.

COBOL is a genuinely archaic programming language. But trying to do this in a rush is INSANE. And you can bet a huge, huge number of things are going to break. Even in very simple code bases, understanding the levels of dependencies built up over decades takes a huge amount of time.

Senate Overturns Rule Limiting Bank Overdraft Fees to $5 Lawmakers voted to invalidate a rule adopted last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It now moves to the House.

The Senate voted Thursday to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure adopted late last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that had been expected to save Americans billions of dollars per year.

‘Red’ America needs the truth on Trump’s fentanyl failures With some voters seeing the light, it's time to focus on an issue that hits home

Trump pushes myths about "open borders” leading to spikes in fentanyl use. In reality, 80% of fentanyl traffickers at the border are U.S. citizens. Fighting the crisis means tackling demand—treatment, mental health, education. Facts matter. Read the latest fact-check from @joshlevs.bsky.social
