What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social media algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? Even here on Bluesky. That would be weird.
A gracious concession:
“I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

What I cannot understand is how people think Trump and his regime have made their lives better? The only other reason for supporting him: racism.
There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

Stephen Colbert has absolutely no reason to do it, and ABC probably wouldn’t want the FCC headache, but it would be very funny if he spent Kimmel’s annual summer vacation guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day.

Trump said that repairs to the DC Reflecting pool would cost $1.8 Million.
Now? The price tag is $13.1 million.
The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract for the project after previously working on pools at Trump's properties.
Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?
While corporate profits skyrocket and the stock market rides high, regular Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
Even CEOs of the biggest corporations are starting to understand why this is a huge problem. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OWhw-GXUU
