They let me back on. For some reason they seemed to have decided that my account was running ads that were spamming or scamming people. My account does not run ads. It is a personal account. 🙄

People return to work for many reasons, but the biggest is financial need. As costs remain high, more retirees could be looking to re-enter the job market. nyti.ms/48Wnhwd

Welp, Facebook’s AI bot suspended my account so I guess I’ll go on a social media diet until or if they decide to let me back on. My posts are no worse than the MAGATs’ and in most cases better. Most of what I post is news stories and columns and an occasional update on my family. Screw Facebook.

A viral video has reignited concerns about overcrowding in federal immigration holding cells in Baltimore, where lawyers and Democratic lawmakers alleged detainees are being kept for as long as 10 days at a time in a site designed for much shorter stays.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

DOGE Claims It Has Saved Billions. See Where.
A WSJ analysis of government data found that many claims of savings were overstated and “woke” cuts were only a tiny fraction of the total.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Banks Approve of Republicans Increasing Bank Fees
A Biden-era CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees is under challenge, and lawmakers used bank lobbyists for their testimonials.
