"Donald Trump’s beloved White House ballroom is moving ahead—at a reported cost of $900 million and counting—thanks to a 5-4 ruling Monday from the Supreme Court.

The ballroom is just one of a slew of active or would-be construction sites where the president is hoping to leave his mark on Washington. But for now, it’s an exception."

So, there you have it.

New #Apple CEO #JohnTernus has posted his first post to say "Hello" on the #Nazi website.

Biden's disinterest and even pride in the K-shaped recovery, i.e., "the economy is great, actually, you plebes," was either a huge unforced error or a strategic decision by the Democratic Party to go all in on the donor class versus their own voters. You pick. It depends entirely on how well-intentioned you think they are. But do you think writing off the bottom half of the country was a good way to win the Most Important Election Ever?

It's been a death of a thousand cuts since the 1980s but I think allowing the expanded child tax credit to expire and Biden breaking the law to continue supporting Israel were where the Democratic Party turned the corner on "popularism" and came out against their own voters. Harris' campaign was entirely downstream of that.

"I want you to take a moment today and watch this clip, then tell me women are treated equally in our society.

"Now tell me we don’t have a long way to go. Let me just say for the record, I have advocated for a long time, as did the late great John Lewis ‘Young people and the women of America that will deliver a new America a better America’

Sooooo today we will learn if my wager I was better off getting the monthly service plan was worth it 3 years ago when we got a new AC and extended ductwork. As of noon it is 83° inside as our system isn’t working. The company is a big national one and the guarantee is a service call with no charges. If they can’t get it fixed completely within 3 days they must install a new one. The call is set for 3-4 pm. Worried.

Son with seizure disorder can start seizures from the heat. Even his anticonvulsants may not work. Planning to get the car running to cool him down. If the house gets to 95° I will take off to see about a hotel. This is nerve wracking. #Heat #Heatwave #Emergency #Phoenix

The true solution to the trolley problem:

1) Open an Einstein-Rosen Bridge between the tracks just before the switch and just after the section of problematic track with people tied down.

2) Open a second Einstein-Rosen Bridge between the person who posed the thought experiment and deep space.

3) After the person is sucked into deep space, close the portal. Conserving Earth's atmosphere is important.

Update: British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported back to the UK, according to DHS.

Since "the discourse" has already started regarding Milo's kidnapping by ICE goon squads, I want to be very very clear.

You can be 100% against the Orphan Grinding Machine and want it dismantled and thrown into a fire, and also laugh extremely hard when an Orphan Grinding Machine Salesman is themselves shoved into the Orphan Grinding Machine they helped to build and promote.

Rare Earth Elements, Inc. 🤢 is a subsidiary managing this project. The site of the proposed project is located entirely on unceded territory delineated in the 1868 Treaty of Ft. Laramie, which was signed and entered into by both the Oceti Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation) and the US government.

i hope he goes pro se again

Today, Friday, August 28th, 11:59 PM (MST) is the last day to submit a public comment opposing the Bear Lodge Rare Earth Project, a proposed 100+ acre open-pit mine next to Mato Tipila for rare Earth mineral mining located approximately 12 miles north of Sundance, WY, and includes 1,060 acres of National Forest Service lands and 640 acres of private lands.

***my prediction is a lot more, based entirely on how many buildings were in the footprint of the mudflow

He does know the EOs are meaningless outside the US, right?

All those "settlements", with #Meta under the spotlight only mean the government suing Meta will get some money.

Will that money ever reach those truly harmed by Meta? Doubtful, at best.

Law runs on jurisprudence, i.e., precedent, what someone decided before. At least before Roberts killed stare decisis at US SCOTUS.

Being found guilty or settling (admission of guilt, by extension), means Meta is determined to be at fault.

That opens the flood gates for individual or class lawsuits.

@transworld @bmacDonald94 Bible-Belters seem to spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about where peeps relieve themselves & way too little time concerned for children in Sunday school getting diddled by their pastors, or adults marrying children & cousins, and uncle Buck having sex with barn-yard animals … all that stuff just seems like another Tuesday in Crackerville. But, where someone pees & poops is a big-deal. (1/2)

Transgender students are absorbing the consequences of a growing fight in Cabarrus County Schools, where two federal lawsuits and a Trump administration investigation are challenging how the district handles bathroom access

Yep, I think I'm sufficiently done with the national question and I stand for proletarian internationalism, left-wing nationalism, international solidarity, creating conflict between the international working class and capitalist class, and... #communism #socialism 1/2
