Pisses me off! My guess is it all went to retrofit "free" used jets and pay ICE bonuses. Not where it was supposed to go according to the approved congressional budget.

Okay, I've been thinking about it. And I think it was "Beechwood 45..." I think. I could look it up. But that would be cheating.

~1300 fired on a Friday, about half unfired the next day, due to an apparent “coding error”. But sure, your data will be secure.

They’re all in a competition for who can be the most maliciously incompetent. So much winning. Participation trophies for eveyone. Nobel Prizes in Nonsense.

Notably absent from [Vance's ABC] tirade was an explanation of what “services” Homan was being paid for when he got a paper bag full of cash. Also, what on earth does “violating a crime” mean, anyway? Man, Yale Law has a lot to answer for."

FYI: Because Bluesky doesn't provide any emojis except the sweet little heart that simply doesn't cut it for a lot of the news stories I comment on, I use my own. So you can consider all the graphics I use as comments as my version of appropriate emojis.

Celebrate this year's Nobel Prize winners because they're likely to be the last ones in the US for quite a while after this regime cuts funding for all science and medicine research. Other countries are capitalizing on this by offering posts to researchers.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.
