"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

This is such a stupid, shameless lie for *many* reasons . . . But does this dishonest idiot think parents would watch their child get on a school bus on Monday and not even think to question their whereabouts until they showed up again on Thursday? What a fool.

🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

When the public invests in new tech, the public should benefit.

That’s why our investment in a Quantum Fabrication Lab at NYU includes a first-of-its-kind agreement to give the city seats on the board and a share of the revenue from the lab — all while making our city the quantum capital of the world. 

We’re creating a new national model for economic development that gives working people a say and a stake.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 19h
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are just coming home, arriving at their parking spot to find that the car next to their spot is parked just on the border painted between the two parking spots.
Blue: Ugh, the neighbour has parked right onto the divider line again.

Blue frowns behind the wheel, while Green sits on the passenger seat, looking unbothered.
Blue: Would you mind getting out of the car so I can park?
Green: Sure.

Having parked his car right next to the line as well, Blue peers out of the driver's seat. Green is standing outside, observing the parking job.
Blue: Am I still in our spot?
Green: Yep, you're in.

Blue's car is now parked right onto the border of the parking spot, so close to the neighbour's car that it would be impossible for the neighbour to open the driver's side door. Satisfied with the work well done, the foxes leave.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.
