Over 500,000 Mail Ballots Were Rejected, Mostly Technicalities

So For God’s Sake, Be Careful!

     In the 2024 election, 584,463 mail ballots (1.2%) were rejected out of 47,629,437 received – most (62%) for technical issues. 238,000 were rejected because signatures on the ballot and envelope did not match. Many others failed due to missing or unsealed secrecy envelopes.

Robots Are Coming To Take Your Data Center Job

    Meta is evaluating a robotic arm which, if successful, could replace 80% of human workloads.
    “More and more of our customers are telling us ‘we want to run our data centers using humanoid [robots]’ because you can run them at higher temperatures, in the dark, and all these things.”

ICE Wasted $20 Million Buying Detention Centers It Won’t Use

    “The agency failed to account for long-term costs in acquiring detention centers and lost $20 million in unrecoverable costs purchasing the warehouses it no longer plans to use, the review found. Even more could be lost if ICE sells the warehouses for less than what it paid for them, the GAO report said.”

Trump’s Ego Arch To Become…

    Grasping for any explanation to get his Superiority Shrine built, Trump now claims it’s a matter of national security because he plans to include sniper posts, drone ports and ammo dumps…which should be handy for anyone attempting to attack snipers, drones or ammo, since they’ll be permanently located and brightly lit.

Crypto Kings Expected To Dump
$100 Million Attacking Democrats

    Wonder who’s paying for those never-ending Republican attack ads? At least $100 million will be coming from cryptocurrency Super Pacs after every Senate Democrat voted against the industry’s CLARITY Act. Dems had concerns it allowed Trump and his family to profit from a number of crypto interests.

WHERE THE HELL DID ALL THOSE “NON-CITIZEN VOTERS” GO?

    Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names it claimed identified noncitizens who registered to vote, so state election officials got to work.
    On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded reply to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

MMR Vaccination Takes 2 Shots…
…Dr. Trump Now Demands 15

    Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccines are combined into a single dose given at 12 months and 4 years. Trump wants to separate the vaccines into 3 different doses, broken down into 5 shots. That’s 15 shots to get your kid vaccinated; however, 1/5th of a dose is so low each shot would be worthless. 15 shots and still get sick.
