This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Conservatism is the deeply held belief that you, a random asshole parachuting into any conversation, are so unmatched in your genius that you instinctively know more than any expert could hope to.

Solar engineers forgot about sunsets until Doug arrived; they sob, now, as they realize the mistake.
Burgum: "When the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there's no solar energy produced, and yet we're subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive. We've gotta get back to base load."

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

Filipkowski: I believe we’re worse off now—and we don’t even know for sure that Iran was moving toward developing a nuclear weapon before this. They certainly will be now. They now know, definitively, that the only way to deter Israel and the U.S. is to have a nuclear deterrent themselves.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

This is the absolute truth. Too many electeds now consider their political careers first, and their constituents last. You're there to create legislation & work to govern the nation, not fold to bullies. If it's that easy to give away your Constitutional powers, you don't belong there.
Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

She TIED for 5th place, Marisa. They made her SHARE the aluminum (?) medal with a trans swimmer!

The glory of a SOLO fifth place finish was stolen from her. It's the greatest injustice of all time and don't you dare suggest she's a pathetic bigot for making it her entire personality.
At 8:15 ET this morning AG Pam Bondi and Sec. of Education Linda McMahon held a press conference with aggrieved white women, like 6th place swimmer Riley Gaines, to announce a civil lawsuit against Maine's Dept of Ed, claiming they violated Title IX by allowing trans athletes to play.

Loser shit.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they:

- gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC
- gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration
- sponsored an inaugural party
- hired Trump’s campaign manager
- listed Trump’s meme coin

And now the investigation is closed.

These are called bribes.

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.
