Ha Gemini where I was doing some image changes thought my photo from my youth... rejected a old b&w photo of me playing baseball and a photo of me about 25 years old hiking. Guess I should be happy that they think in the hiking photo I'm under 18.

Maybe if he goes to Canada they can arrest him for "crimes against Canada" I'm really tired of CNN et. al interviewing this guy. What real news would they get other than the same old lies and hate.

I would give the walkout 5 days to get a resolution. We need something that will force the Republicans to act.

What else?

Government still shut down for, I think, over 30 days. You know what would get the Rs to re-open the government: Have all the air traffic controllers walk out. No air traffic, None. No Kash flying a private jet to see his girlfriend. Congress struck where they are short of long car travel.

Health care for senior means not having to drive 200 miles to get to some heart doctors... Rural hospitals will be closing.

Notice that they said Seniors. They don't need abortions , unless some interesting stuff going on. However their kids or grand kid might. Still this type of review really sucks.

Not sure he alone invented the web, There were plenty of other "internet" like technology before and of course the entire backbone that allows communication between parties.

Nope.. Harrison was a Dem leader who did nothing. Everyone is always claiming Dems are not working. I guess one needs to be a anti-democracy party to get unity. No thanks.

Or Tell the truth about policies or completely lie, the republican way.

They don't care. Email marketing is mass overkill. Some few will respond, other like you scratch their head and ask why. It is far more cost effective just to take a full list rather than spend the time to narrow it down.

283 Days that major Dem/other figures have not spoken out against MAGA and Trump since Trump took office

Where are the voices to push back Trump:
Garland, Antony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Deb Haaland, Gina Raimondo, Miguel Cardona, President Bush and many, many others. We need their voices.

Did you see the story about the kid who got handcuffed in school by cops who were alerted by some AI security program that thought his bag of chips was a gun. So they rushed to school and the kid like it was a mass shooting. AI is not the answer.... It may be the problem

Maybe a question of "what news channel do you watch, or None" would also put context into the answer you get with opinions. The real problem is the world of polling and pollsters have not yet caught up the fact that MAGA has caused the great divide and how to properly form Qs in that light.

So.... you want to bring back the anti-black, immigrant voting rules. I think not. Besides I have plenty of post college education, read a lot, but I do not know the actual inflation rate... I could guess but what the point?

It is like in sports, no one wants to admit to liking or backing a loser. So they go for the presumed winner.

But all things come to an (almost) end. No longer in print, each morning I find myself reading less and less articles. Probably too much MAGA and Trump for me, I guess trying to be balanced. Now I glance at the home page that that is about it. I'm sad bc they were are great newspaper.
