Trump: “It won’t touch it”

It’s the Epstein Ballroom. Trump will let it touch whatever it wants.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I know no one has the staff anymore but I wish a news org would track down the people who yelled about this and get them on the record about the demolition.

I remember Fox News spending days on the scandal that was Michelle Obama’s modest little veggie garden. It was discussed and berated non-stop with the general theme being ‘how dare she desecrate those hallowed grounds.

A film that takes place where you’re from

with marketing claim it features

Why Democrats aren’t talking about climate change much anymore.

Make way for the "cheap energy" agenda.

Why Democrats aren't talking about climate change much anymore

As Democrats reflect on the 2024 election, talking about the "planetary emergency" is out, and "cheap energy" is in.

We try to stay current but Gen Xrs have a Gen X lense. This is a great interview between two Millenials that displays why those outside of that generational band may never have predicated how dominant Mamdani would be this year. (ht @katie-drummond.bsky.social)

Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

I just called ACECO & left a furious message: 301-588-0707

Then I sent this email via their contact page
acecoworld.com/contact/

(If you do either, remember not to say or write anything that could win you a call from law enforcement.)

Email that reads:
I am stunned, horrified, & enraged that you accepted a contract to demolish the East Wing of the White House. It is *not* Donald Trump's house - it's The People's house, and when democracy is restored, those responsible for this decision will find themselves facing severe legal consequences. When history is written, the name ACECO - and the names of each and every person responsible - will live on only in infamy.

The very imperfect ACA is how I got to stay being a writer, one not reliant on somebody else's health insurance.

The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2d

The ACA is not perfect but it’s much much much much much better than what came before it (more or less *nothing*, for all intents and purposes), and people saying anything different are either 1) too young to know any better, 2) dumb, or 3) Republicans. Combinations of 1-3 are also valid.

Cover art for "Renegades" by Erin Hunter

A digitally painted book cover for "Renegades" by Erin Hunter. A young black and white cat races toward the viewer, mid-stride and in motion. The cat has amber eyes and is literally on fire, with flames blowing in the wind on all sides. The grayish teal ground has puddles which reflect. the glowing flames.
