Florida voted to make itself fiscally California tonight. They'll sorely rue this vote in a decade or two.

This lady crashed the housing pipeline for San Francisco a decade ago and now she’s going to crash like anything that requires home or auto insurance in the entire state of California.

It is very hard to share an opinion politically-neutral in thought after the last 8+ years, but good lord, whether you're a democrat or a republican, having the leader of the USA talk like this to someone, & at the camera knowing it'll be broadcast nationally is so effing gross.

This is one of the most cowardly, shameful acts in modern American history. But it's only possible because Congress, for decades, has been giving up their constitutional authority to let the President do whatever he wants. STOP GIVING THE EXECUTIVE POWERS

Pete Hegseth and every politically active conservative pastor has been parading around claiming it’s biblically justified to put the death of a man in public spaces where children could watch and see. For all of them, imagine how little their moral foundation is if a man, like Trump, has stepped in to do the actual moral thing of cancelling any live-streaming of the execution. American evangelicalism is in a bad place.

Another fun fact about Ukraine blowing up Russia’s bot farms: I get spam calls every day about a personal loan I never applied for. At least three, but up to 15 a day. I haven’t had a single spam call in 2 days.

They also have the least poverty, the least personal debt, the least expenses, the highest financial satisfaction, and highest share of millionaires. Yet they receive 10x as much federal spending (per capita) as those ages 25 and younger. That seems sub-optimal.

In West Africa, we met men and women deported last month from the U.S. None of them were from Africa. They hailed from Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela.

Nearly a month after a U.S. deportation flight brought migrants from countries including Venezuela, Honduras and Colombia to Liberia, @camiloreports spoke with some of those now stranded in the West African country. Several said they had never heard of Liberia before arriving there and did not know where they were being taken until they landed.
