I don't think we'll ever be done with the "I fucking told you so's." The Food Research & Action Center reported that these changes would weaken safety nets and worsen food insecurity for low-income families: frac.org/blog/project...

It can cost from $15,000 to $100,000 per year to keep one person in prison. The price varies by state for medical needs, and security level. We could be spending that money on housing and food for them instead of enriching the owners of the prison systems.

@kjparton.bsky.social Many years ago, I jumped a shark. At least, I'm pretty sure it was a shark. It was very small - certainly no more than 5 feet/150cm, if that. It was facing the beach and still for the short time I saw it. I assumed it was dead, floating in on the tide. (Question coming)

Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn. Probably just a coincidence.

Couple things: 1. If the terms of the Iran deal being floated are accurate, it’s a complete US surrender and a total embarrassment. 2. Trump casually threatening to nuke Iran if the deal doesn’t go through is fucking insane.

If you believe that not voting sends a message, you’re wrong. It just shows you’re out of touch. If you want change, you must go to the voting booth. Voting is your constitutional right to make changes to your government. Register to vote, help a neighbor, help someone get ID and register to vote

California voters! You may have gotten a really ugly text against Fiona Ma for Lieutenant Governor. Here's the thing: it deliberately came out after ballots dropped, so they wouldn't have to file financial reports until after the election. They're trying to hide their identities.

The inflated margins padded the contract by at least $850,000 above what a competitively structured deal would have cost. The government ultimately agreed to pay the firm $13.1 million seven times what Trump originally claimed the project would cost.

An internal National Park Service analysis flagged the no-bid Reflecting Pool repair contract as a financial outlier. The agency’s own contracting specialist found that federal construction contracts of this type typically carry a profit margin of 6 to 12 percent,

Screenshot of a Twitter/X thread showing the Democrats (@TheDemocrats) posting that Pete Hegseth "needs to go," Hegseth responding that their agenda of "illegals, trans & DEI" are no longer allowed at the DoD, and Democrats replying "Pete's POV:" with an image of a smartphone screen showing multiple apps with notification badges, implying Hegseth is distracted by his phone — a reference to reports about his use of Signal and other apps for sensitive communications.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
