20k people transported per hour is great. No hwy on earth is getting close. Transportation is only getting more expensive. If it isn’t built now it will cost the falsely claimed price in 8-10yrs. Wisconsin rail plans were canned by a GOP gov. The Midwest is missing out on any rail network now.

Our tax $$$ could be going to schools (they're not), health care (they're not), environmental protections (they're not), any of the science fields (they're not).

She is standing too close to the roof edge with out a safety harness. Everyone needs to be six feet away from the edge or in full harness with an appropriate anchor. This is a violation of osha. No one should have to work like that.

Makes my local farmer’s price for choice cuts of lamb look pretty appealing right now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

A judge needs to remove their ability to do this all masked and with no warrants. These thugs wouldn’t be nearly as insane if they were going to be singled out on social
Media or with actual plans to arrrest someone with due process in mind

It’s great. I recreated it in an audio producing class. The chorus on the guitar, lyrics are well written. simple but punchy bass line, the synth drums are all just spot on for a catchy tune. There isn’t much else like it from the era or since.

Thank you for leaving the last frame of frozen on the hatch act. Federal employees get 2-5hrs of training a year on the hatch act every year and the different ways it applies. Now the secretary of entirely depts are just breaking it willingly

100% - I have been tracking our expenses for the last 18mo intensely and our spending just keeps going up, and up and our total # of purchases are shrinking. Moving out of the country is a novel idea if I had savings that would last more than a month.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

Rockauto.con is way better. Better pricing, simple interface and I get my parts fast. Autozone sucks balls.

NEW: Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

With @theassemblync.bsky.social

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

Dem leadership is already losing by only writing strongly worded letters whenever the law is broken and no one complies with a court decision (and the supreme court being bought doesn’t help). We are going to have only two bad choices again. The fascists or the corporately bought dems.

He is a millionaire paid by billionaires to defend “the middle”. He loves to brag about not having kids and sleeping around and eating at expensive restaurants and traveling. It isn’t worth watching him. His guests are usually good but his interjections don’t lead the conversation well.
