The contradictory messages are happening because we have a senile old fool who is mentally unstable who bases his foreign policy off things he sees or Fox and clips from social media that his hacks show him. The entire world is less safe as a result.

The GOP isn’t debating Reagan vs. Trump anymore. That battle is over. Now the divide is darker—between controlled authoritarian power and a party willing to welcome open fascists into the room. The GOP is still strong, but cracks are forming. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

I use X-Plane 12 a lot and had to upgrade, not because of performance so much, but because I was running out of VRAM with my older 2070 8GB. I went with the Nvidia 4070 super with 16GB for many of the reasons you mentioned. 5070 was not available at the time.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The reason oligarchs & the political/media class they own had a months-long elite freakout over @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is not because of any one of his policy proposals - but because his win would mean they no longer get to buy every election and control every political outcome. Pass it on.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

I really need for people to see & acknowledge that the open racism & sexism in US public life today are directly downstream of the decade-long effort to destroy "woke," ie, anti-racism & anti-sexism. This was always the point.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.
