Dear Abby: Son’s been hostile to me since I helped him get off fentanyl

Guess she should have left him on it.

It’s interesting now that every tribe has their own social media everyone is seeing completely different news. At least before when everyone was on the same social media and they were just censoring anything that wasn’t a Democratic talking point you’d still get a few doses of a different perspective.  Not so much now. Can’t see how this could possibly go wrong when you have two sides 100% in their own echo chamber trying to have any discourse. You see it here every day-Ray, Alum, Murph all responding to fairly mainstream stuff as if it were Alex Jones.

Alex Jones clones are mainstream at X.

I read some responses to an L A Times article about Trump's water releases at X. Apparently all they read was the headline. Most were defending Trump attacking Dems. It looked coordinated..

Sending them to Gitmo? That I am on board with. Send Mike Madigan to Gitmo when he is convicted. Let's ship Ed Burke over there right now.
Finally, I hear a good politics idea today.

That was a few years before previously respected doctors got blacklisted for voicing their opinions during Covid if they didn’t toe the company line.

El Salvador?  Trump will want to deport the Palestinians in the US, as well. 

Jared's got plans for that seaside property.  Saves on demolition costs.  Just got to clear out the locals first.

You're thinking too small. Why develop the seaside property when you can just have a cryptocurrency auction for a "piece of the action" and then rug pull the rubes.

The Trump's had such a great experience in Aberdeen. I think they'll want to develop Mar a Gaza.

A number of media outlets, including Politico, have received funding from USAID. The exact nature is unclear at this point. It could be as simple as sponsored content.

One of the myriad things USAID did before being attacked by Musk was to promote global free press, free speech, etc.

More recently, USAID has also promoted DEI.

Claims That Politico Received USAID Funds Are False

The media company has sold subscriptions to various government agencies ...

only payments received by Politico LLC from USAID were for two subscriptions to E&E—an energy and environment publication it produces—totaling $44,000 over two years. ...

Politico received $8.2 million in total payments from government departments and agencies between fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2025. ...

In September 2023, a staff assistant for the Center for Environment, Energy, and Infrastructure—part of USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation—purchased a subscription to E&E for $20,000. According to E&E, prices for its professional subscription packages typically start in the upper four-figure range and vary based on how many users have access to a subscription. Another subscription to E&E was purchased in September 2024 for $24,000 by the Center for Climate Positive Development—an office within USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security. ...

In July 2020, for example, HSS paid $73,857 for a Politico Pro subscription licensed for 37 users. The department exercised options to extend the contract in 2021 and 2022, and eventually increased its subscription to 49 users in 2023 for $130,185. The DOI similarly purchased a subscription to E&E in September 2021 for $200,000, which it has been extending since. The DOE has also been extending a Politico Pro contract since June 2020 for a four-year total of more than $400,000.

Prime example: No one gives a shit about Politico getting fed agency subscriptions cutoff.
