Congress now needs to depose Zhang on his dealings with the TACO, under oath, with no 5th Amendment protections due to the pardon.

C'mon @joeneguse.bsky.social, you're my rep, please work to make this happen immediately!!

First it was the tariffs, now it’s a $40 billion bailout to Argentina.

At a time when Big Ag is already squeezing small farmers out of business, Ashley’s and this administration’s trade policies are A SLAP IN THE FACE of the working class Iowans who feed this country.

It is funny given Argentina's history with other individuals in the past

Regarding the East Wing demolition, I have a silly question. Apparently the Presidential Emergency Operations Center is in a bunker and hardened facility underneath the East Wing, a secure shelter in time of emergencies. What exactly happens to that?

Minor detail, Trump was in office during the COVID 'lockdown'

FFS @apnews.com, your bias is showing!

Why, in a serious article about legal use of adult medication, use a biased pejorative 'pot', not #cannabis or (also not ideal) #marijuana?

If it was #alcohol would you call it 'hooch'?!

No, you absolutely would not!

Do better.

Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke pot can legally own guns

The Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke marijuana can legally own guns, the latest firearm case to come before the court since its 2022 decision expanding gun rights.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

He's taking our tax money regardless of what is legal, right?

He's stealing our taxes. Every day in every way. He is stealing your social security, defence spending, Medicare, all of it.

He's stealing our taxes. It's what oligarchs do. It's what his heroes do.

Trump said to demand DOJ pay him $230 million

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election.

He’s doing his best to make us like one of his failed ventures.

A tweet from Jessica Riedl reads: “That it took the White House 9 months to figure this out is economic malpractice.” Below it, a tweet from Unusual Whales says: “BREAKING: The US is rolling back tariffs on ‘products that cannot be grown, mined, or naturally produced in the United States,’ per WSJ.”

- You ready for the facility costs (power/space/maint)?
- You ready to ramp up operational support staff?
- You ready for migration costs?
- You ready for all the parallel testing to ensure smooth transition?
- You ready when you have your first outage (on premise does not mean no outages)

Ed Featherston @efeatherston.bsky.social · 3d

So with the latest AWS outage behind us, the mad rush to go 'back on premise' discussion has already started. I am neither for nor against, depends on the business case but... (1/2)
