@divvybikes.bsky.social @asklyft.bsky.social I feel like we need to be able to turn off undocked bikes from view when looking at parking options on the app... This is not helpful in finding out which stations have open docks

lol he signed the law that guarantees back pay to furloughed federal workers but also that happened more than 20 minutes ago so he probably doesn't remember

Reporter: Is it the WH’s position that furloughed workers should be paid their back pay?

Trump: It depends on who we’re talking about. We're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

In the same way you can tell when a child doesn't really socialize with other children and only speaks with their parents adult friends, Bari probably hasn't spoken to anyone who isn't an octogenarian billionaire in the last 5 years
