@psyop_sentry @broadhurstbobb Can you link it? I can't find anything on this story.

@broadhurstbobb Fake news per CNN.

Congressman Jamie Raskin has been ordered to repay the federal government $304,000 he took from the illegal student loan debt relief program for his daughter's tuition to Stanford. "Mr. Raskin knew the program would be shot down," wrote 14th District Judge Joseph A Barron, "so he pushed his application through using his position." Raskin's defense was that the program was perfectly legal when he took the money. "That defense is summarily rejected." The judge also noted that the Raskins are worth more than $14 million and shouldn't have qualified in the first place. "There's grounds for a criminal case here if ever this court saw one."

Missouri University (@Mizzou) just posted a notice of intent to hire an H-1B Strategic Communications Associate Salary: $64,000 Nobody in America was qualified for this job.

@BurtMaclin_FBI @MostlyPeaceful Well, I get that. But what about next time? Enemies could just monitor Polymarket to check if the US is taking action and jeopardize the mission.

@MostlyPeaceful Absolutely. It’s shameful that someone who served his country for nearly 20 years gets charged for doing what 95% of Congress does daily.

Pardon this man.

Of course they did. Of course…they did.

“I hope you die and your wife is happy about it.” Okay I hope you get fired. “YOU CANT SAY THAT!!!” 😤 😭

Trump just sharing a spontaneous but deep spiritual connection with a bee while the First Lady and King of England and hundreds of other people look on in visible discomfort.

Social Security is a tax. Not insurance. Not a trust fund. Not a retirement savings plan. The Supreme Court has ruled so. Even so, the fact is that there are fewer and fewer workers to support retirees, which is why the government has to “borrow” (print) money, which causes inflation and adds to national debt. I don’t give a fuck whether you want your money back or not, Social Security an economically unsustainable Ponzi scheme. “Conservatives” always yammer about how socialism sucks and that you are not entitled to other people’s money, but if you mention that Social Security is essentially the same thing, the geezers suddenly become the biggest fans of it.

@DrewVento So does Panera Bread. I don't get the appeal. It also is very expensive for what you get.

Starbucks food tastes like it was 3D printed

@RobProvince I still drive into dirt. I hate buying a car.

It used to be that when you bought a car the plan was to pay it off & drive it into the dirt. Now it’s a lease or buy with a plan to sell at its peak used car value. So people and car companies all use the same 5 colors that have the highest resale/trade in value.

Resale value and govt regulations……

@JownsMike @TheRob1772 @jimmykimmel CNN said it was a joke. It's funny. We should use it more often. Jimmy is teaching us how to be funny enough for ABC.

@TheRob1772 @jimmykimmel Kinda seemed like it

Hey @jimmykimmel Molly has the glow of an expectant widow. Hits a little different when it’s aimed at your own family, doesn’t it? Scumbag.

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

By the way, the White House hosting the correspondents dinner in its own ballroom is arguably a violation of the First Amendment: it's government control over press access and expression and could have a chilling effect on criticising the president.

@ScienceMagazine Sounds like we need new scientists.

Climate policy has long fixated on how energy is produced, but a growing body of research suggests the real leverage lies in how it is used. In a new #SciencePolicyArticle, researchers argue that reshaping energy demand, through efficiency, electrification, and curbing excess consumption, could unlock faster, fairer progress toward net-zero goals. scim.ag/4cPAlol

@RichLucido @jarvis_best You don't organize your Jarvis posts?

@jarvis_best Of equal concern...

"We may never know the motivations of the man who directly told us his motivations in a manifesto!"

“Social justice is a demand that the state should treat different people differently in order to place them in the same position.” — Friedrich Hayek

It’s not both sides issue.

It's important to remember how much of the left reacted when Charlie got kiIIed:

That's what is kind of astonishing about this. These aren't rantings of a way too online autist weirdo. His manifest sounds like something normalized on Reddit, BlueSky and Kimmel.

Gunman's manifesto: "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." NYT: We may never know the motive of the gunman.
