Will be checking Twitter every so often but won't be interacting much here anymore. So full of bots and haven't been happy with ownership's pushing of propaganda. Seems more and more like a cesspool here. Bluesky is taking off. Find me here: @hasthawk.bsky.social
@draloneboy Anyone figure out what changed with him? His health issues impair his judgment? He was bought? I remember Trump going out of his way to shake his hand at the State of the Union address. Seems like a different person.
CBS spent 10 minutes talking about Alvaro “punching” Condon
But Chinyelu comes down and T’s off into the back of Jirak and not a peep

Encourage someone.
Celebrate someone.
Lift someone up.
In a world where so many are weighed down by life’s relentless struggles, even the smallest act of encouragement can remind someone that there is still goodness in this world and that they have the power to rise.
This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.
