Wait.

I was told by MAGA during COVID that there is no greater violation of free speech than the Federal Government pressuring social media companies to take down user's posts.

Speaking of Musk & #xAI. Go #Memphis go!

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK — @keshaunpearson.bsky.social : “xAI was able to pollute our community over 12 months illegally with up to 33 methane gas turbines. That’s unheard of, illegal, uncivilized, and truthfully it’s disgusting.” wreg.com/news/local/p...

Because of how SpaceX and xAI are massive recipients of government contracts, these are your tax dollars being spent to shore up Tesla’s bottom line.

U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

Listening to Trump address the Knesset, I was surprised that:

1) The Israelis were remarkably restrained and composed, stifling their laughter as Trump spoke like a toddler.

2) If 3rd-graders had written his speech, it would’ve been far less insipid.

Trump Addresses Knesset After Declaring Gaza War ‘Over’ — TIME
The U.S. President was warmly received in Israel, where he addressed parliament, after helping to broker a cease-fire that freed Israel’s hostages in Gaza and aims to end the conflict with Hamas.

It’s a damn cease fire. They solved nothing beyond temporarily stopping the violence.

MARCO RUBIO: This is probably one of the most important days for world peace in 50 years. That's not an exaggeration

Did you know that the New York Times reporter who wrote the first fawning profile of Trump in 1976 also promoted the hoax about poisoned Halloween candy?
Misinformation is contagious. The media helped build the Trump myth, and we're all suffering now.
I wrote about it in my free newsletter.
The media’s kissing up to Trump started early

Nashville has a well-documented housing shortage, with one study showing a 90,000 shortfall in homes by 2035.

But Nashville also has a shortage of commercial space, leading to ever higher commercial rents & the death of small businesses in booming neighborhoods.

A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Tennessee just moved to certify our Dec. 2 election 3 days after polls close — an unprecedented rush that could decide whether the Epstein files are released. I’ll vote to release them... my opponent will not.

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...
theswprincess.bsky.social
CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
