@JenniferSey @xx_xyathletics @NWSL @ThornsFC Insanity. These women angry at you for stating basic biological facts.

@HandyGingerGal And not customers. Many of the spaces I stayed at over the last two years didn’t even have basic amenities in them- like basic coffee or filters etc. staying at a hotel very quickly became the easiest choice.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@HandyGingerGal It wasn’t just dishes. Airbnb hosts had ridiculous “to do”lists before checkout, so much so that often it would take 30-40 minutes to do, especially if you were traveling with kids. And then the hosts further lost the plot by treating customers like annoying house guests

Wait until they find out about weed psychosis, and what a massive problem that is and will continue to be.

🚨 Dr. Siegel: Today’s weed is a MONSTROUS growing problem

@DrMarcSiegel: “The vape cartridges have 50 to 90% THC content… even the buds and the flowers that make the joints are 15% THC, which used to be 1% back when we were growing up.”

“And if your parent is stoned, they can’t parent you.”

“This is a monstrous growing problem, starting with the content and now the increased usage.”

@megynkelly Uh, no. Viveks ad was grotesque, and I think it’s appalling that we would applaud and ad of this nature.

A small Montana community has made a big investment in its own safety. In Rollins, around 550 households came together to raise $2.2 million for a new volunteer fire station, without state or federal funding. https://t.co/kRHo7cac6Z

The general news policy where I’ve worked used to be that you name sources —with rare exceptions.
When there is an exception, you explain as thoroughly as possible why you can’t use the name and characterize the person so that people have at least something to judge the source’s opinion or information on.
However when Trump first came on the political scene, the NYT led the way in bending their standards, and practically everyone else followed suit. Poor judgement. And the bent standards stuck to this day.
The fact is: standards exist because they are not supposed to be amended depending on the person being covered and how much the media does or doesn’t like him.
That’s the whole purpose of a standard.

@LukasSchubertMT The cold hard truth is they like the cheap labor.

@IngrahamAngle I said this years ago when I moved to Fargo. The amount of people and money moving through Lutheran social services was nuts.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@MLiamMcCollum You are absolutely correct.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@MontanaMuckrake @lemmiwinkster You are, for once, correct. Conservatism is dead in MT. It’s only about power and money, principles no longer matter.

[Possy @TURBOPOSSUM]

We’re at a weird spot in our civilization. It’s somehow simultaneously more and less competent.

The god computer can cure cancer but the nurse doesn’t speak English. The flock camera can find a missing child in 5 minutes but you get robbed by a guy with 30 priors.

Very timely. Worth the click through and read.

It has been months in the making, but today I launched the 2026 Midterms Candidate Due Diligence website.

https://t.co/1aNdeB8x7s

For far too long we have not had a comprehensive side-by-side picture of who is funding our candidates, who pays for them to get elected, their stance on issues we care about, and many more important factors.

So, I built what I could not find: a page for every single person on your ballot, showing exactly who is paying for them.

Pick your state and you get your voting rules, issues on your specific ballot this midterm, a map of your congressional districts, the measures on your ballot and what they actually do, and a profile on all 2,517 candidates for governor, Senate and House.

For each candidate it shows where their money came from and who wrote the checks, what outside groups spent for them and against them, the companies and nonprofits they own out of their own financial disclosure, and where they stand on the issues with the vote or the quote behind it.

Every number links back to the filing it came from. If something is missing or something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it.

Finalizing some of the smaller elections now, but it's 80% done.

It is free and the site doesn't ask for donations. But if you would like to support my work you can subscribe to my Substack (link in bio) or buy me a coffee at https://t.co/NOYK2TE0kk

I hope you enjoy!

@prairiehsewife Boomers. In a nutshell. And then they get angry at you “for not asking for help”. It’s a lose lose situation.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@DineshDSouza You might want to sit this one out.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@RealCandaceO I doubt everything you are saying. A private Christian school event that doesn’t allow parents to attend? Extremely doubtful.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@IamSean90 I feel like you’ve never met a female nurse. They always know more then anyone….. or so they think.

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@conservmillen How is that not jury intimidation?

[Abby Maki @plainjournalist]

@pvtjokerus @bluesaint24 Exactly. Fascinating the gaslighting on this issue- if you question data centers at all- immediately you must work for ccp or want your community to be broke.
