"The current Supreme Court is nothing more than another legislative filibuster, housed in the judicial branch, and crusted over with Harvard and Yale JDs to make it look pretty to the gullible."
ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.
Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.
That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.
lol. Sure, it’s all over soon. End in sight. Negotiations going very strongly. Markets are definitely being rational about this.
Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022.

Melanoma doctors tell us the FDA’s rejection of RP1 makes no sense and will cost thousands of lives

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

it’s good that california & virginia ratified their counter-gerrymanders through referendum, but instead of saying “until the next decadal redistricting” they should’ve been permanent trigger laws that revert to independent commissions once a national gerrymandering ban was in place.
TV Buddha is a video sculpture by Nam June Paik first produced in 1974, but exists in multiple versions. In the work, a Buddha statue watches an image of itself on a TV screen. The screen's image is produced by a live video camera trained on the Buddha statue.

This bill is dangerous.
It does not protect privacy. It lets Big Tech and Telecom do anything they want with your data.
And it blows up all state and many federal privacy laws that we already have.
Most dangerously, it may nuke all state civil rights laws.
Here are some examples:

Fun fact: the guy (Hung Cao) who now leads the US Navy claimed that Monterey, California (median home price $1.2M) had been taken over taken over with witchcraft.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

He is bankrupting our country, just like all his other ventures
Any Dem who runs on a platform of ending every single government contract with Palantir, then hiring a team of experts to undo the damage these fascist dorks have done to our infrastructure, communications and personnel, not only has my vote, but has my donation checks and volunteer hours as well.
A white dog mascot wearing a white middle bowl as a hat and a brown skirt kneels on some grass in front of some trees.
Sanomaru, the mascot of Sano City, is a samurai puppy with a ramen bowl on his head and potato skewer swords.
He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
This is absolutely insane and I like it
EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon Erases Wounded U.S. Troops From Iran War Casualty List: “Definition of a Cover-up”
The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties — inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count.

Jay Bhattacharya falsely accused people of “censoring” him for years — including Stanford Internet Observatory. He has his job because of pretend censorship — he parlayed being a fake victim into a government appointment.
Here he is suppressing a paper because he doesn’t like its conclusions.
Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
They think you're stupid.
