If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

A Republican found a magic lamp and rubbed it. The genie said, "I will grant you one wish." The Republican said, "I wish I were smarter.” So the genie made him a Democrat.

sharing this since so many states implemented that “do not touch” phone law This allows you to record your traffic stop/interaction with police without getting a ticket for touching your phone this is from 2022 so I don’t know if there are updated versions but this one works for lots of people

The Siri shortcut can be activated when you're pulled over by police, and will send your location to designated contacts and start recording video.

Congratulations, North Carolina. You’re on your own and your FEMA request is “not warranted.” Read ⬇️
The Honorable Josh Stein Governor of North Carolina
20301 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699
Dear Governor Stein:
This is in response to your April 25, 2025, appeal of the denial of your request for an extension to the cost share waiver under major disaster FEMA-4827-DR that was declared on September 28, 2024, due to Tropical Storm Helene. You specifically requested an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days.
After a careful and thorough review of all the information available, including that contained in your initial request for a cost share adjustment and appeal, we have concluded that an extension of the 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance for an additional 180 days under major disaster declaration FEMA-4827-DR is not warranted.
