Contrary to popular belief, cats don’t knock shit off the table because they’re assholes. They do it because it’s fun. Try it. See, I told you.

The voters keep rejecting their initial project so now they're trying to get in the back door via Suisun. More billionaire bros who want their own 'sovereignty'.

Dean Preston @deanpreston.bsky.social · 1d

Hated by most everyone, the abundance bros are now trying to buy Suisun City, CA. According to the CEO of California Forever, the city is on its "way to becoming California’s best example of the ‘abundance agenda."

California Forever’s latest plan to build the ‘next great American city’: Expand existing towns

By making the proposed city part of a town’s expansion project, California Forever can avoid voter approval in Solano County.

"[Argentinian President Javier Milei's] austerity measures caused poverty to skyrocket to above 50[%] ... in his first six months."

America First? Republican Sen. Tim Scott blocked Elizabeth Warren's bill seeking to stop Trump’s unprecedented $20 billion bailout of Argentina and its far right government. Warren sharply criticized Trump for giving Milei a massive handout while gutting health care benefits for millions at home.

GOP Blocks Warren Bill to Stop Trump’s “Brazen” $20B Argentina Bailout

“For Trump, the leader of Argentina is more important than American families struggling with rising costs,” said Warren.

Maybe poor little billionaire Marc Benioff can pay his own damn security for his DreamForce conference rather than suggesting the Felon Pig Don bring troops to SF. Should we help him pay for his parking too? So sick of these big baby billionaires.

“In April, Architect of the Capitol Thomas Austin told a House subcommittee that House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, had not instructed him to install the plaque. The speaker is responsible for any modifications to the House side of the Capitol, Austin noted.”

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

He's bombing boats in international waters. He's detaining American citizens. He's profiting from his office with crypto. Selling his son's books with the Presidential Seal. Oh yeah, and he's a pedo rapist.
