If there’s a powerful group that can help break through the division, it’s organized labor. Solidarity means something to me. Thank you to the members of UA Local 85 for giving me the opportunity to connect, listen, and talk about the future we can build together.
Let’s walk.

Does the FBI still investigate real crimes or just Trump's political opponents?
Mike Young@micyoung75
FBI at the office. FBI at employees' homes. No explanation yet. This is the third voting-related federal action since February. Ohio. Georgia. California. Seven months before a midterm Republicans are already losing. Voter fraud is rare. Voter intimidation is happening right now.

@RBerestka @CynicalPublius Publius has the problem of obscuring some sound insights under occasional dickishness. It’s a risk of online dialectics.
English
@CynicalPublius Why the personal attack? I agree with you and point our that not only can religion masquerade as a political movement, but that political movements can masquerade as religions. Islam comes to mind. I didn't realize you were such a dick.
English
Now do political movements that based on a religion. One comes to mind.
Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius
One of the great power imbalances between conservatives and Leftists is the fact that our religion is religion, while their religion masquerades as politics. As such, we are governed by SCOTUS-determined “separation of church and state” and the Leftists are not. Case in point: “Pride Month.” This is a month-long celebration of the Left’s religion, but because it is not treated as a religion, federal/state/local governments everywhere can indulge in it. However, if we were to try and have governments celebrating “Jesus Month,” the lawsuits would be so thick you couldn’t cut through them with a rainbow chainsaw. I’m not sure how to solve this.

@DeanBaker13 And the private sector spends almost 20x that , 3/4 of a trillion

The government could also just PAY for the research directly -- no patent monopoly -- as it already does to the tune of $50 billion a year at NIH. This is too simple for intellectual types to understand, but ordinary people can get it.
Sentinel@3Sentinel4
@DeanBaker13 And the government gives a patent for a certain amount of time to ensure research happens

@TheStingisBack This movie demanded a sequel with Dangerfield’s character as a rich boor who runs for president. Oh, wait…
English
It’s the 40th anniversary of Back to School, which features one of the best meta jokes ever.
Rodney Dangerfield hires Kurt Vonnegut to write a paper about Kurt Vonnegut… and Sally Kellerman gives it an F, saying the writer “doesn’t know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut.”

@CurtisHouck Q- Why are the parents of a murderer getting CBS airtime?
English
Karmelo Anthony's mother and father on Thursday's 'CBS Mornings'...
"My son didn't intend to hurt anyone. My son was defending himself."
"What stuck out to me, number one, was the all-white jury, but I was trying to be, you know, like, all right, it's not that big of a deal. I mean, the truth is on our side."

My review- entertaining, but patchy, like Spielberg rewrote the script too many times. But Emily Blunt is great.

@MalloryMcMorrow So they’re right and you’re dishonest… got it.

Trump and Mike Rogers are one and the same. They want you to doubt our elections. Whether it was Trump's effort to overturn our results or convince you your vote doesn't matter, the goal is the same. They want to keep you from participating.
In Michigan, every time they come for our rights, we fight back. We've been preparing for this moment. Vote with confidence. Your vote is the strongest power you have.

@karol @marcthiessen @DocWashburn “an ex-girlfriend alleged he twisted her arm and confined her to a room but stated he never hit or punched her.”
Well, in THAT case…

@PaulRieckhoff “Trump contaminates and consumes anything he touches.”
No… people like you work to slime and destroy anyone who gets near Trump.

This is painful to watch.
I always have an issue with anyone using veterans in their family as a shield for their own actions.
That said, I don’t think this statement will unify the team, remove the distraction, or put it to bed.
Dart (and now, the team, because of his selfish decision alone) will have to deal with this all season. And probably for his whole career—and any team he’s on. Forever. Unless he condemns Trump.
Especially because you can be damn sure Trump will keep bringing it up. Trump will never let it go. Never.
This is what happens when you stand with Trump. And when you put him ahead of your team. Any team.
Trump contaminates and consumes anything he touches.
And unfortunately for me and all Giants fans, that now includes our QB and entire franchise. And history will judge him and anyone who stood with Trump poorly.
Teachable moment, kids.

IMHO, this is controversial because it looks like a small, blue 2000 Chevy Impala.
FOX Business@FoxBusiness
This may be the most controversial Ferrari in years. Ferrari unveiled the Luce, its first-ever electric vehicle, on Sunday, a sleek new EV developed with former Apple design icon Jony Ive. The company says the car represents freedom to experiment. Critics online say it looks nothing like a Ferrari. The $640,000 model arrives at a difficult moment for EV demand in the luxury market, especially in the U.S., where enthusiasm for high-end electric vehicles has cooled.

@stitchnstab @Fat_Electrician They are currently planning one right on the same aquifer my well uses.
This is deeply personal to me and I know exactly of what I speak.
Next time you want to insult someone, don't assume you know what they don't.
Now scram. You're an ignorant jerk.

@Fat_Electrician Water usage. Where I live in the Mountain West groundwater is life and because we all have wells, houses must be at least 8 acres apart.
Data centers represent a threat to ground water availability.
