The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Imagine if the guy trying to overthrow the government actually knew how it worked. The House impeaches with a simple majority and the Senate convicts with 67. Which is to say, it’s not happening.

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

Its been assumed that only men were scribes before the advent of the printing press in the 15th century. New research (N=24K; 800-1626C.E.) finds 1.1% were written by female scribes, inferring that 110,000 manuscripts were made by women in medieval times. news.artnet.com/art-world/wo...

So did Trump rescue that Ukrainian army that he claimed was surrounded by Russian forces yesterday, and said they would all be dead already if he didn’t intervene to save them? Any update on that? Did Trump save the day?

🚨 NEW: Trump is golfing yet again. 54 days in office, 14 days on the course—wasting 26% of his presidency (and your tax dollars) on tee time. For comparison: ➡️ Biden first golfed on day 87 ➡️ Obama? Zero rounds in his first 56 days Trump remains the undisputed laziest president of all time.

It seems niche or just one out of a million things. But the actions against big law firms may end up being some of the biggest stuff happening right now. I take anything but a lawyer centric view of the world. But “big law” firms are a critical power node in the US system.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

Little Marco gets little respect, even from the nicest countries.
X post by Mark Chadbourn (@chadbourn
.bsky.social), featuring a "Follow" button. The text of the post reads, "Canada giving Marco Rubio the tiniest red carpet they could find in a thrift shop somewhere." The attached image shows a small red carpet laid out on a wet tarmac in front of an airplane, where two individuals in dark coats stand welcoming two men descending the stairs. The scene appears to be a satirical take on an official welcome, with the red carpet humorously described as minimal and second-hand. The background includes a truck and some trees, suggesting a cold or wintery environment.

This is what Google tells me: "The Swedish Saab Gripen fighter jet has long been regarded as a possible alternative to the F-35 for Canada. Known for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and proven performance, the Gripen offers an appealing balance between modernity and operational independence."
