Hillary is and has always been a very open practicing Methodist
I've been burned too many times by being impressed by various superstars who turn out to be disappointments.
To that end, my current answer to this is: "the invisible public servant whose regulatory compliance work reduces *bad thing* by *some percentage*"
He's going to bankrupt us like we were a casino.
After years of delay, look what's finally hanging in the Capitol.
To the heroes who served on that dark day, thank you.
The republican who voted for trump now has a partner in ICE detention. They are raising $30,000 for something via GoFundMe. "Urgent: Help Yamile Reunite with me and our Family. Still $12175 to do." The lowest ask on the donation page is $100. The suggested ask is $300. The highest ask is $1000.
This is the $$ amount that their money ask defaults to
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

He also doubled down on his original remark. “My comment was clear, this puts rapists in with retarded people. We can’t water that down,” Christian reiterated.

Seems less than ideal.
I’ll leave for later why reporters didn’t fact-check - there’s an ugly story there too. But the urgent issue is, Platner would be crushed in the general. It's best to lance the boil now. Here’s the document, sourced and Wikipedia-ready. You should read it. The NRSC sure will. 11/
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Good. The answer is NO to all of the trump appointees and has been for over a year.

DOJ appealed and our team argued in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to protect the win. www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-re...
Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.
Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington.
Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.
Yes, we all know that but the whole "the US can police itself and doesn't need no stinkin hague" isn't working either so IDK maybe it's time to send 'em off
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
“Once again, the NYPD is demonstrating how targeted, data-driven policing is reducing crime and keeping communities safe,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch. “In the first two months of this year, we have seen the fewest shooting incidents, shooting victims, murders, and burglaries in recorded history for January and February combined. The men and women of the NYPD brought major crime down in every borough and there were 1,100 fewer reported crimes than last year. From our public housing – which had historic lows in crime – to our streets and subways, we will always stay focused on keeping New Yorkers safe, and I thank every member of the NYPD for their continued work in getting us here.” The NYPD continues to combat violent crime and shootings through its Winter Violence Reduction Plan, which deploys up to 1,800 uniformed officers to nightly foot posts across 64 zones in 33 precincts, public housing, and the subway system. Since its inception in January, major crime is down 23.1% and shootings are down 66.7% in the zones.

Ferguson’s email came a day after a dozen leaders involved in artificial intelligence ventures sent the governor a letter, urging him to “pause” the income tax legislation and increase the state’s capital gains tax instead. They warned the income tax would stifle AI investment in the state, with companies lured instead to more attractive business climates in San Francisco and Texas.
I believe the appropriate response is telling the AI tech bros to go fck themselves
