The most repeated sentence in local news: "we are waiting for a response from the department of homeland security about that specific incident."
Things have been too nice around here lately. Too much coming together. Too much unity. That's why I encourage everyone to head to their precinct caucus right now to be reminded why you even hated your neighbors in the first place.
This is chillingly dangerous. Gabbard, a known foreign asset, is illegally running a 2020 election review, at the behest of Trump, who is almost certainly also a foreign asset. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/03/tulsi-gabbard-2020-election-investigation-ed

I second this idea!

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:

No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".

But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.

Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.

“Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.” - U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-Texas)
