Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

RIP to Chris Christie’s 2028 campaign, murdered by an octogenarian mere hours after launch
Joyce Carol Oates • @JoyceCarolOates
really, this is a serious question: why on earth would Chris Christie imagine that anyone, anywhere, ever would want him to run for President? what sparks such a delusion? granted, his wife might enjoy having him out of the house & on the campaign trail; but better just get an inexpensive hobby instead.

Judge Luttig lays out a kind of constitutional Armageddon for January 3, 2027: “The 1st moment of constitutional crisis will come when, sometime before the 120th Congress has been gaveled into session,the loyal temporary clerk refuses to list Democrat representatives-elect on the clerk’s roll…”

I stand by everything I said previously. At least with a major bank I know there is oversight, deposit insurance, and regulation for things like anti-money laundering.
Tweets from Karen K. Ho (@karenkho) on Nov 9, 2022.
1. "I don't report on finance anymore, but please do not connect your bank account to Twitter"

2. "there is no such thing as a guaranteed high yield, this transaction with Elon Musk will be incredibly risky and not insured by the FDIC or CDIC, and there are many reasons why financial accounts and traditional investments are closely regulated"

3. "I used to be a literal bank teller for several years and my parents both worked for major banks for two decades. If you feel like goofing around with money, buy a raffle ticket from a local charity. 

Do not give a social media company your bank information."

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
KEY POINTS

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
