Let’s be clear everyone’s healthcare premiums will go up as well as the services of healthcare please don’t act like it won’t affect you - it will from employer based healthcare to Obamacare to uninsured- do you think once the prices go up they will ever go back down? Just like groceries they won’t

“Using satire”..? You’re all going to lose your jobs & be prosecuted. Any “satirical” comments for that?

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 15h

Sorry... what’s he “satirizing”?

First Amendment speech? The dozens of cases he’s lost because federal judges see him as a would-be dictator—as did the last Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? The failed F-47? His own infamous incontinence?

What’s your next sentence, Mike? What’s he satirizing?

Speaker Johnson defends Trump's AI video of him dumping feces on protesting Americans: “The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point.”

Yeah we’ll just give you the land and you can pay us in something totally ephemeral that we can account for on the books however we want

Driscoll added the projects could include data centres and rare earth processing facilities, and could involve the federal government swapping land for computer processing power or output from rare earth processing.
He described the proposal to the group as,
"instead of paying us with cash for the land, you pay us in compute"

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

If you delete substantive texts, you never have to preserve them in compliance with the Presidential Records Act and the Federal Records Act. Her official communications belong to the people of the United States, and we demand to see them.

On Trump Golf Course. He asked her to join his legal team (b/c what says elite criminal defense attorney like insurance lawyer)? Whereupon 2 of her associates quit. They must’ve been prescient & wanted no part of the sordidness. And she told Trump I’ll do what Bondi won’t. Highly ethical person. 2/

She didn’t necessarily sound that ethical to begin with. She‘s a FL insurance lawyer & she was on Trump’s defense case in the documents case. If you’re wondering how she knows Trump, she was Miss Colorado USA (so many woman connected to him have this in common, gross) & renewed their acquaintance 1/

Conservation Groups Warn that Biofuels Could Undermine IMO Net-Zero Goals

Although biofuels create far fewer emissions in transport than standard oil-based fuels, many biofuels still come at significant environmental costs.

You cannot on one hand say you prioritize teaching reading and on the other deny access to the school library. It’s educational malpractice.
