why is the medal of honor a choker tho

[Acyn @Acyn]

President Trump presents the Medal of Honor to Major James Capers, Jr

While Dems are making each other apologize for dropping the F bomb the republicans are all completely backing a pedophile protection ring so I’m glad we have our priorities straight

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

In a cross-examination round during a #NY1Debate, incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat asked congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier if she would apologize to Kamala Harris for a “disparaging” tweet about the former vice president.

A post from 2021 used an expletive to criticize Harris.

"To Vice President Kamala Harris, I sincerely apologize, because you did not deserve that language from me," Avila Chevalier said. "And I would have loved to have seen a Black woman president."

The trump admin had no comment when one of their guests screamed on a microphone that Michelle Obama is a man at the White House.

Makes sense the Obama’s wouldn’t immediately open their arms. Heck, I wouldn’t blame Barrack if he wanted to punch the guy.

[Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog @DougWahl1]

Do you agree with Trump being left out?

For the first time in US history the sitting President was not invited to attend the opening of a predecessor's library. Clinton, Bush and Biden all showed up at the Obama library... no Trump.

Your Thoughts?

@naaycoqui Considering the implosion of the McMorrow campaign I’m not sure adopting her strategies would be wise for El-Sayed tbh. But good to see you open to changing your mind on him.

[beando @Beandohh]

I want this to be real, but I find it hard to believe that 86% of my peers agree with me

[Abdul El-Sayed HQ @AbdulElSayedHQ]

Abdul is leading among voters age 18-44 with 86%, with Stevens at 3%.

McMorrow is polling at 0% with both Black voters and voters under 44.

It feels like the trump admin is desperate to make this Iran deal work. Likely has something to do with the upcoming midterm elections.

There’s almost no other rational explanation for the sudden shift in rhetoric wrt Israel. It’s short term and meant to serve their interests.

For a brief moment I forgot that Mars is both a planet and a Candy company

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

NEW: Mars is reportedly spending millions on a "MAHA makeover" for M&M’s, removing artificial dyes from the candy.

[beando @Beandohh]

Jesus it would be hilarious if this ended up helping pushing her over the edge to clinch a victory.

Folks are frustrated with politics. I could see this going either way.

They went for it lol

Companies: “we must incentivize our employees to use AI.”

Companies when their employees use AI:

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: The AI “tokenmaxxing” era is ending as companies tell employees to cut back amid soaring usage costs.

[beando @Beandohh]

Would $300b do it?

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

REPORTER: What's stopping Iran from down the road rebuilding and restarting their nuclear program?

JD VANCE: First of all, they would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program

[beando @Beandohh]

So on top of the tens of thousands of layoffs, the remaining workforce is dedicated to data-tagging AI…

No wonder morale is in the gutter. Next they’re going to pay McKinsey or BCG millions to help them fix the problem they’ve created.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Meta has reportedly moved 30% to 50% of engineers on core teams into data-labeling roles for AI training.

[beando @Beandohh]

This is state sponsored slavery.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

ICE has capped the amount of money detainees can earn in "voluntary" work programs at just $1 per day.

[Dominic Michael Tripi @DMichaelTripi]

NEW: Israeli officials believe President Trump could potentially delay weapons shipments or impose an arms embargo on Israel in the future if Netanyahu won’t withdraw forces from Lebanon. -Maariv

[beando @Beandohh]

Covid also has a part to play in this. The ebbs and flows to employment while industries were adjusting to whatever “new normal” was becoming. Many companies did furloughs or RIFs and hiring strategies have not been the same since.

[beando @Beandohh]

I predicted this would be the case in response to Elon’s complete gutting of Twitter. It started a ripple effect of expectations from shareholders “if Twitter could do it, so should you”

We live in a world of benchmarking and comparative analysis.

[Scantierrr 🇦🇱 @scantierrr]

The number 1 thing pisses me off today is how every company realized they can still technically operate at the bare minimum if they run a skeleton crew for everything. So now every service sucks, both for the workers and the customers, and we can't do anything.

[beando @Beandohh]

Allowing individuals to become ultra wealthy is actually a national security concern.

[Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich]

Peter Thiel, who reportedly* plans to replace US democracy with an outright aristocracy, is building a secret society of some of America's top military, political & business elite. Sitting officials incl. Trump appointees, senators, and the top US commander in NATO (!).

[beando @Beandohh]

You can live your life with your beliefs. Let other Minnesotans live their lives with their own beliefs. That freedom is liberty.

Otherwise you’re legislating your religious views and forcing them upon our state. Making you just as bad as the “sharia law” the GOP claims to hate

[Michael Holmstrom @MichaelH_MN]

Bathhouses (public sex clubs) are a grotesque abuse of liberty.

True liberty is not licentious indulgence and lies. It is discipline and obedience to truth & God.

That is why I, along with @FreedomCaucusMN , have introduced SF 5224 - a Bill to ban these obscene Bathhouses.

[beando @Beandohh]

@StatisticUrban This entire ordeal is a perfect encapsulation of the entirety of trump 2.0

@GrageDustin I regret to inform you that no one’s lives will improve as a result of flying either flag.

[beando @Beandohh]

Flanagan really needs to get some advertisements and counter messaging going.

While I find the constant Craig ads annoying, there are certainly low info folks who will take them as gospel without anything to contrast them with.
