Sen. Slotkin: “I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law.” Caption: For nearly a year, Trump has targeted Senator Slotkin for one reason: she defended the Constitution & called out his corruption.

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

Government power becomes dangerous when it stops enforcing the law equally and starts targeting enemies while protecting allies. Authoritarianism turns public institutions into political weapons. Democracy requires power restrained by law—not directed by loyalty.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

every single person pushing this angle is intellectually bankrupt. The data centers being built today are for NOTHING other than AI compute, and are much, much larger and more destructive. If none of them got built, services like online banking, social media and streaming would continue to function.

“Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of N Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with S Korea.” This man is failing to defend the United States. This man is a traitor. This man should be removed.

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

So, some of you may remember these from last year, it’s a birthday present to a friend of ours…. Bloody Marys garnished with grilled filet, lamb, sausage, shrimp, bacon and cheese slider, zucchini, caprese skewer, and cucumber.

“Mars has a relatively low, dynamic surface albedo (reflectivity) between 0.15 and 0.30, resulting in its dark red appearance. The albedo is dominated by bright, oxidized dust in high-albedo regions (up to 0.4), dark volcanic basalt in low regions (< 0.15), values shift due to atmospheric dust.”
