Ellison is said to be worth $120 BILLION. Would $9.8 billion even impact his lifestyle? Meanwhile average folks are struggling with high gas and grocery prices.

Time to remember the best voting advice I have heard - Voting isn't marriage - it's public transport.
You are not waiting for "the one" who is absolutely perfect.
You are getting the bus.
And if there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk - you take the one going closest to where you want to be.

Crystal Mason did NOT vote. She cast a provisional or affidavit ballot that was NOT counted. The voting system worked. That they arrested her afterwards is crazy.

Mason's case dates back to 2016 when, after discovering she was not on the voter roll, she submitted a provisional ballot in the presidential election on the advice of a poll worker. Her ballot was rejected because she was not eligible to participate in elections while still on supervised release for a federal tax fraud conviction. She was arrested a few months later.

So now Tennessee will fully fund SNAP, schools and Medicaid for the babies that are born. Right?

"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed.

And why would I think that you don't?
Because you don't want any tax
money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."

“Many businesses just can’t easily replace the missing workers. Recruiting and training new employees can take time, and so many businesses start scaling back, or even shut down, creating a ripple effect that costs even more jobs,” Escobari added.

She and her coauthors estimate that of 668,000 jobs lost, 51,000 to 297,000 were held by U.S.-born workers. Construction, hospitality, and food services-industries with large immigrant workforces-were hit the hardest by ICE operations, and those losses affected American workers, the researchers found. Construction workers are an integral part of home building, and without the structures they build, U.S.-born project managers, electricians, and building inspectors cannot do their jobs.

“Rep. Steve Cohen has represented Memphis, Tennessee, for 19 years. Republicans cut his district into pieces, and he decided to retire—but not without a fight.”

On May 21, (Rep Steve) Cohen introduced six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts.

Charges include allowing the Court to become a partisan weapon, placing the president above the law, endorsing a corrupt campaign finance system, and failing to recuse himself while his wife collected millions recruiting attorneys for law firms with cases before the Court.

Cohen was direct: "Under Chief Justice Roberts' stewardship, The Supreme Court| is now understood as biased: with decisions designed to benefit Republicans at the expense of representative government."

From the article
“A new report from LendingTree puts a number to what so many families have been feeling in real time.

In 2026, the cost of raising a child from birth through age 18 has climbed to an estimated $303,418, even after tax credits. That is a slight bump from last year, but zoom out, and the shift is harder to ignore: Since 2023, that number has jumped by nearly 28%.”

@funkymulelady.bsky.social thanks for sharing my pinned meme. Love your Fred Roger’s quote.

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility.
It's easy to say 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."

The national debt never seems to be an issue when Republicans pass legislation giving tax cuts to the wealthy. It’s only an issue when they talk about SNAP, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.

Trump-appointed FEMA review board reveals recommendations for changing the agency www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

It proposes upending how the federal government determines which disasters to support, how FEMA pays states and other governments for disaster recovery costs, and what kind of FEMA assistance survivors receive, among other reforms.

“The Defense Department spent $93.4 BILLION in Sept. 2025 (the end of their fiscal year), with $50 BILLION of that spent in the last 5 working days.” $50 BILLION on luxuries, not military equipment, not our troops, not military readiness… luxuries. 🤬

The Defense Department spent $93.4 billion in September, with $50 billion of that spent in the last five working days. To put that in perspective, only nine countries on Earth have an annual military budget that large.

The shopping list included luxury items like $6.9 million for lobster tail, $15.1 million in ribeye steak, and $2 million for Alaskan king crab, as well as musical instruments ($21,750 for a custom handmade Japanese flute), ice cream machines ($124,000), sushi prep tables ($26,000), and $12,540 for three-tiered fruit basket stands.

This is the same administration that created DOGE-an entire department whose sole purpose was to eliminate government waste.

Energy Shocks To Hit Food Supply First couple of paragraphs in image, the full article is at the link. newsletter.techbuzz.ai/p/energy-sho...

Energy Shocks To Hit
Food Supply
Tech Buzz Editorial Feature
WTI crude is up 41%, Brent surged past $112, and the bigger crisis is unfolding in fertilizer markets. The Gulf supplies 50% of seaborne urea, and the Northern Hemisphere planting season won't wait. What does this mean for the economy and food security?
The Strait of Hormuz moved 20 million barrels of oil per day until three weeks ago. Now tanker traffic has collapsed from 135 ships daily to six.
The IEA calls this the largest supply disruption in oil market history, and some analysts are quietly gaming out $150 to $200 scenarios.
The US and 31 other countries just announced a 400 million barrel release from emergency reserves. America contributes 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, dropping domestic stockpiles to 243 million barrels, the lowest in over 40 years. That buys roughly 20 days of coverage for the missing Gulf volumes. Then the math gets uncomfortable.

"The president's opposition to ICE agents wearing masks in airports seems to be his acknowledgment of the sense of terror and unease masked agents can evoke," DeBerry added. "But at the same time, Trump asking those same agents to keep their masks on outside airports is an admission that he's fine with ICE provoking fear and trepidation everywhere else."

Over the last 44 years, The Heritage Foundation deliberately looked and found just ninety-nine (99) cases of voter fraud by undocumented immigrants. Ninety-nine (99) out of a total of more than TWO BILLION votes cast over 44 years.

Heritage Foundation updated its database of voter fraud by state between 1982 and 2025.
After laboring mightily, they pinpointed 1,620 cases in the entire country during the last forty-four years out of a total of more than two billion votes cast. And how many of those cases involved undocumented immigrants trying to vote? Ninety-nine. You read that right, ninety-nine out of two billion. (Those odds-99/2,000,000,000—are three orders of magnitude longer than the National Weather Service's estimated 1/15,300 odds of being struck by lightning at some point during an eighty-year lifespan.)

“The guy's a piece of shit," said Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), a longtime crypto enthusiast who has championed industry-friendly legislation. "The guy shouldn't be pardoned. The guy should go to jail for a long, long time."

(Sam) Bankman-Fried, who was convicted in 2023 on fraud charges after his FTX crypto exchange collapsed, has been heaping praise on Trump and claiming on social media in recent months that his exchange was solvent - apparently part of a brazen campaign to win a pardon from the president.

Crypto supporters aren't buying it.

"The guy's a piece of shit," said Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), a longtime crypto enthusiast who has championed industry-friendly legislation. "The guy shouldn't be pardoned.
