Any video, media, literature they don’t like will be deemed pornography/obscene & removed.
Romance novels. OnlyFans, YA literature. And not just for kids. The gov will dictate what you are allowed to read/watch as an adult.
Imagine Mike Johnson and Stephen Miller dictating what you can read/watch.

And it should make GOP Rep. Don Bacon nervous about next year
Bacon should be fine, although Omaha NE-2 is gerrymandered suitably, unless Vargas runs again (he's lost 2x) it's lean GOP district, only one to crack it was Obama '08, not likely that happens ever again

not a big problem, SSA has to get a specific form from funeral director (SSA-721) to formally decease the person and move benefits to next beneficiary, if any; SSA won't do it over phone, has to have that form from funeral director (or coroner) and the beneficiaries have to prove ID IN PERSON
Wow - I knew cutting Medicaid is unpopular. I didn't know it is *this* unpopular.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
not reflected in House GOP reps who typically win 65/35

Bessent last week said China would be “devastated” by a lack of US orders.
Turns out China has other customers, too. 🤡
China saw US tariffs coming. China's trade surplus with the US collapsed in Apr. '25 (black), but its surplus with others began rising in Jan. '25, which more than offsets that fall (blue). US tariffs trapped a wall of goods in China that need to get out. Those goods are definitely getting out...
it will be a good day when y'all stop quoting Idiot's idiots
Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it.

nope, they can rot, WV voted 70% GOP
If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again
NO, why are local govts letting it happen, it's local cops going along with it; my guess is FOLLOW THE $, they're getting paid handsomely to put peeps w/o a constituency away
THIS IS NOT NORMAL

this is like me pulling out a new jar of mayo off my shelf for my sand, i alreay paid for MY mayo, it's not a deal, it's moving stock from warehouse to production line
Keep the below principle in mind today as the Trump administration tries to sell its so-called US-UK trade agreement.
so this will eliminate the (small) trade SURPLUS US currently has w/UK? such a fool
We've been teaching a long time. And in the last 3/4 years we've run into the first cohort of 18-22 year old who we feel, as a whole, are just worthless piles of shit. Of no value. Incapable of thought. Genuinely incurious. Highest use case is being ground into pet food. -OS

Traders (and obviously Fed reporters) have absolutely no patience to wait. Thus the constant pushing Powell to 'do something'.
Yet the Fed is perfectly capable of doing something inbetween meetings.
Why is it so bad that they take a wait and see attitude?
i'm glad he's there, we'll miss him when Idiot appoints some Fox fool to replace him, Powell's proved to be pretty good doing the politics of Fed Chair; anything Fed does is a committee decision and he's good at managing the FRB Presidents; excellent at Humphrey-Hawkins, too
Extra points to Chair Powell for correctly pronouncing "short-lived" with a long "i," in saying "The effects on inflation could be short-lived..." Adds to Fed credibility.
i do that but get weird looks, i think i learned it from a Berlitz book on "effective english" in high school

BREAKING: Another $70 million F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman has been lost in the Red Sea—the second jet from the carrier lost in just over a week.
-CNN
missing the wire shouldn't be cause for loss, pilots miss them for various reasons, they keep throttle max'd out just in case they miss wire then pullup & out & try again
at least YOU are citing about the correct E/F-18 cost vs MSM, it's ~$90M replacement not including the 2 engines
Trump will dispute the color of the smoke

The art of the ....handshake????
In a long monologue in the Oval Office beside Canadian PM Mark Carney this afternoon, the President appears to say the trade "deals" his team are working on are not deals in the traditional sense, as they will not have to be signed.
This is really significant! More in thread.
more like total BS but it's not an art
