Cleopatra VII died in 30 BCE & the Great Pyramid of Giza was completed ~2560 BCE.

In other words, the charismatic Egyptian queen lived closer in time to the invention of #Mastodon than to the building of the Great Pyramid. #history

Another day, another chance to pretend everything is fine.

Chuck Grassley thought he'd be presiding on January 6 BECAUSE MIKE PENCE TOLD HIM SO.

Boost this until it breaks. Then boost it some more.

We need to sound the alarm!

Dem leadership have cut a deal with MAGA speaker Johnson to ram through a reauthorization of Sec 702 mass surveillance as part of the must-pass NDAA.

As a leftist, I am not a fan of anti-inflationary policies but I have to admit that the U.S. is still doing better than most other countries. I know that the working class bears the brunt of this. All this could have been avoided if the pandemic was contained 🤷🏽‍♂️.

@GottaLaff
Mike Pence didn't have a problem hurting anyone's feelings back in Indiana with job losses,women's health,or any other assistance program being denied to those in need
I used to work in Indiana and I can tell you the state had some serious issues

Remember when #Hillary called some #Trump supporters
#deplorables? It got HUGE coverage as compared to Trump calling his enemies #vermin, like #Hitler did? #MediaMatters report:
-Broadcast TV: 18 times more coverage than Trump’s vermin remark
CNN, Fox News, & MSNBC mentioned deplorables nearly 9 times more than vermin
Print: Clinton's comment 29-to-1 Trump's vermin https://www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump/major-news-outlets-gave-much-less-coverage-trumps-vermin-attack-then-they-did-clintons
#Clinton later expressed regret for the comment, but Trump DIDN'T. AND his supporters AGREED with him!

“Chicken hawk Football coach turned Senator, who took orders from Trump during the insurrection, blocks military appointments to make nation’s military weak”

That’s your headline

There was a lot I was supposed to do this morning. But I learned that my county supervisors plan to approve license plate reading cameras in the county tomorrow, so I dropped everything to write this emergency comment to say HELL NO.

It's also now a Techdirt post:

Super-petty from Sunak, but the BBC framing a Greek opining that historical treasures appropriated from his nation should be returned as a "row" is rather telling, too. Making the integrity of our colonial treasure house a diplomatic stumbling block is not a good look for my homeland.

Who will be incarcerated first, Trump or his attorneys? LOL.

Oh, The Irony! Trump Attorney Alina Habba and Her Husband Owe Millions in Tax Liens and Warrants https://www.politicalflare.com/2023/11/oh-the-irony-trump-attorney-alina-habba-and-her-husband-owe-millions-in-tax-liens-and-warrants/

When they say “working with” the Republican Party means that we asked the White House for comment on a story (that is actually very critical of Biden lol)

But it’s so funny how the right continues to call me a TikTok content creator (I am!) but never mention that I am also a columnist for The Washington Post, which is where this reporting appeared https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/11/24/bigmac-price-tiktok-biden-economy-inflation/

Erica Lafferry is the daughter of the principal killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre

She was diagnosed with cancer and had to resort to crowdfunding her treatment as her insurance denied her claim

That was after the Alex Jones verdict

A verdict he was ordered to pay $1.48B in defamation charges

An amount he hasn’t paid while spending $90,000/mo to support his lifestyle

His victims are now asking for 6% of what he owes

This system is set up for one group and one group only
