Overheard:

If the democrats met a genie and got three wishes they would negotiate down to one wish and then wish for something they thought republicans would like.
How about you give the government all but 10% of your net worth over $4m and let it feed kids today, educate kids today, clothe kids today, and make sure they have proper support if they are unlucky enough to have shitty Republican parents.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when an uneducated population elects morons to run their country.
The government funds treatment, and collects and stores all data for Americans diagnosed with kidney failure.

But the Trump administration’s attack on DEI has taken away questions on patient race, information used for actual medical breakthroughs.

Irresponsible bullshit. Cite the property owners. I hate seeing yard people that do this: bag the shit up or leave it in your yard.
This photo of leaves in the NE 7th Avenue bike lane sent to me just now by a reader is bonkers. It's a perfect illustration of why the common practice of workers blowing leaves from sidewalks (and yards) into bike lanes is totally uncool and unsafe.

No easy solution to this issue!

Great now do Mitch's shitty weed amendment!
Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Get these workers their fucking contract already. What the hell is wrong with you? You're a fucking real estate company that sells shitty coffee for ridiculous amounts of money. And you can't even figure out with all those resources how to pay the people who actually do the work you rich? Really?
Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are standing up to corporate greed and Starbucks’ unfair labor practices and demanding the fair contract they deserve.

No contract? NO COFFEE!

I keep hearing people say stuff about agents and how we all want agents and the agentic is the future. But I keep coming back to the basic question of do we really? What do we need agents for at home? I can't really think of anything I do here that I wouldn't rather do myself.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

every last penny should be seized and turned over to dog rescue.
We found that a company with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly got money from DHS contracts.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

Schumer played both sides and got the end to the shutdown.

Why?

The filibuster.

They would rather have "lost" to Trump than lose THAT.

Why?

Turns out, ol' Team blue depends on it to block actual progressive legislation flanking them on their left.
