The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Right: JD Vance, "The reporting there is going to be a Qatari base on US soil, that's just not true"

If you can't trust the United States Secretary of War, who can you trust 🤷‍♂️

Independence is FOR something, it's not just an end point, an end in itself but a beginning of self government to raise ourselves up and away from the dead hand of Westminster #independence.

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 9h

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

These are my favorite kinds of AI search results. I'd like to think that one percent of Lake Erie vanishes with each return like this.

A fake screenshot of someone querying "the name of a local business (I just want to see their hours)" on Google. The AI overview responds with:

Oh, shit. Don't panic. We'll get through this. Here is what your mysterious query might actually mean.

• Local businesses tend to have names: This helps people distinguish different businesses from each other. For example, Target can't be also called "Home Depot" because that would create confusion.

• Businesses that are local take less time to reach than businesses far away: If choosing between two businesses, keep in mind that if one of them is in a different state or country, it will take you longer to get there.

It’s not difficult to accept that a large swathe of the electorate remains to be convinced that independence will be good for them. But neither is it difficult to believe that they can’t be won over with a full-throated campaign, writes Ruth Wishart ✍️

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.
