Since there doesn't seem to be a specific group devoted to mystery writers, I am hoping to get one going through more regular use of hashtags like #mystery #mysterywriting #mysterystories #DetectiveFiction et cetera. Thoughts, anyone?

Serial liar Karoline Leavitt deliberately changed the words “unlawful orders”, which Democratic senators used, to “lawful orders”, thereby entirely changing it to the opposite of the truth.

They should sue her for billions of $, just as Trump has sued media outlets.

President Donald Trump has yet again suggested that his political opponents deserve to be executed. And yet again, he’s basing this argument on a rather novel legal theory and a dubious interpretation...

The Trump family has been bragging that Trump's energy policy has enabled their Bitcoin-mining bonanza.

Turns out they're running part of their mining operations in Canada. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Justin Ling: The Trumps’ latest money-making scheme has a little-known Canadian connection. Can we do anything about it?
It's a refuge for criminals and a cash cow for the man who wants to annex us, yet bitcoin is still being mined in Canada.

Brooks, who positions himself as the great empath, issues a cynical dismissal of the Epstein story and defense of elites, ignoring the victims and his accomplices.

Got email from someone purporting to be from Brooklynwriters.com. That space closed in 2023. I therefore conclude this is just another scammer. #writing

Would you read a #scifibook with an octopus sidekick? A sarcastic narrator who breaks the 4th wall?
Or
A murder mystery on 2 colony ships ‘grown’ by #aliens to save the human race?
How about if their #bookreviews are great AND they are 99c/p each? No? Why are you reading this then?👇#booksky 💙📚🪐

It's the 2nd story this year featuring my far-future grifter protagonist, Rali Ribhu. I'll collect all of his tales into a book next year.

Can we at least agree that no one in Biden's or Obama's cabinet said anything similar about them before taking office?

How much of a credibility problem do Republicans really have? Every single one of these people now treats him like he's the second coming of the lord.

I’m not sure going full MAGA, which Stefanik chose to do a few years ago as a calculated and cynical move to advance her political career, was the smartest way to set yourself up for a statewide run in NY.

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans won’t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

After Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay appeared to faint live on air and RFK Jr. bolted from the room like it was on fire, Felon47 appeared annoyed that someone had the audacity to pull focus. The exact behavior one would expect from a demented sociopath.
