I curate followers, If I think you're following me to promote your money making scheme I'll block you.
I'm not motivated by earning followers, it's not why I'm here.
I swear, a life lived in constant neuropathic pain = swearing. It's a medical aid.

I am often struck by how many different things conservatives are afraid of. And here’s some scientific evidence for that

Conservatives Big on Fear, Brain Study Finds
Research finds that conservative students have a larger amygdala than liberals. What does this mean?

Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris won their presidential elections. Or so I think.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Trump didn’t just “disparage Rob Reiner‘s political views.” He said Reiner brought it on himself when he was stabbed to death because he criticized Trump.

I think where Trump differs from Congressional Republicans on the filibuster is, they see it as something they will want to use in the future, whereas he's thinking of killing it as a step toward permanent rule. Kill it, pass laws that make it impossible for Dems to win again, bada bing.
Trump: "We should knock out the filibuster. If you did that, we'd get voter ID, you'd have no mail in voting, all things that make our elections dishonest."

Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
