There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

Bipartisanship with a party full of fascists is not cooperation; it's appeasement.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

Nope. They'll never blame him for what he does. Everything that goes wrong for them will be Biden's fault, or Newsom's, or trans people in bathroom's. Thanks , Obama.

2/3 Only when from frustration I clicked on CANCEL my purchase, did there suddenly appear a customer service rep who called me. The complicated problem had to be solved by a higher level of technician who was suddenly available to me.

Hey @mscommunity.bsky.social customer service sucks. I bought Office 2024, then had a complicated problem with it that no online bot could answer. But NO way to talk to a human, or EVEN to write out the problem. If my problem didn't conform to one of your boxes, it kept telling me to start over. 1/3
