This weekend’s US clock change is a problem, and there’s a deep divide on how to fix it This is the weekend when clocks move ahead, causing angst, lost sleep and health issues for many. Over the last decade, at least 19 states have passed laws to let them stay in daylight saving time if ...

"Prefer staying on standard time year round? That would mean the sun would be up at 4:11 a.m. in Seattle in June."

And yet people settled there anyway. Get rid of the time changes and go with standard time. I'm sure everyone will adjust.

Life is short, if you aren’t getting shot or blown up you are having a better time than most people, don’t forget that.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Shameful. Warehousing people for what purpose? Either deport or release. I don't think warehousing is part of ICE's remit. We need lawsuits brought on behalf of these people.

A $220 million ad blitz and a public split with Trump mark the end of Kristi Noem’s DHS tenure Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has lost her job after criticism over a flashy ad campaign tied to President Donald Trump’s deportation push.

Trump used to talk about people being "fired like a dog." In Kristi's case, I guess that comparison could get dangerous....

😂😂😂 I *love* that.

The US lost a surprising 92,000 jobs last month as the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% American employers unexpectedly cut 92,000 jobs last month, a sign that the labor market remains under strain. The unemployment rate blipped up to 4.4%.

Even the dishonest criteria used to "calculate" unemployment rates couldn't make this better. Who on the ground is surprised?

Trump rules out talks absent Iran's 'unconditional surrender' as Israel strikes Lebanon U.S. President Donald Trump says he will not seek a deal with Iran without the country’s “unconditional surrender” as Washington warned of a forthcoming bombing campaign that officials said would be t...

What is the pretense for this? I thought he wanted Iranians to free themselves.

Evidence suggests the deadly blast at an Iranian school was likely a US airstrike Satellite images and videos of an Iranian girls school damaged by large explosions at the start of a U.S.

Fabulous. Said in my most sarcastic and dismayed tone. Trump can't fight a clean war even as well as GW Bush. That's saying something.

Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments The effort to explore charges against Cuban officials comes as President Donald Trump says the island's government is his next target.

"If things go less smoothly than hoped, Trump will proceed to Vietnam."

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King (Ind., Maine) said, citing a law that certain monuments must receive approval from Congress.

One doesn't just get to redesign DC. It was already well-designed. There's no reason for the Brandenburg Gate to be randomly erected. L'Enfant doesn't deserve that.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

I knew Russia would have its nose in there somewhere. Russia and Iran have been playing footsies under the table for quite some time.

When is his term over? Didn't he say he's leaving at the end?

hey hey just another quick reminder to anyone who chose to do anything other than vote for Kamala:
no we will never forgive any of your motherfuckers for any of this shit

I was watching something and Trump's interior decorating style was described as Louis XIV after smoking crystal meth.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Yes. There's a big difference between what the people in power want and what Israeli citizens want.

Yes.

"...which escalated into a civil war in 1947 after a proposed partitioning by the United Nations was rejected by the Palestinians and other Arab nations."

From Wikipedia but definitely accurate based on my historical reading: "Britain...set up Mandatory Palestine under...the League of Nations. Increased Jewish immigration [led to] conflict between Jews and Palestinian Arabs...

Go back and read the history of how, why and the circumstances under which Israel became a state. Start with Britain suggesting Palestine as the ideal place for Israel, despite conflicts that started with British support of Zionism during WWI.

There are agreements obligating the US to provide certain assistance, which is supposed to be limited to defense, which is an easily muddied term for Bibi. That's why under Biden there were constant diplomatic efforts, though ineffective. We don't run Israel. I don't know why people think we do.

No one could have stopped it. Bibi did and does what Bibi wants. I don't know why people don't recognize that.

Nah. Time isn't particularly real. It's an estimated thing we created as a tool of measurement. I'm definitely not concerned about mortality. That's not age-reliant. I'm content with experiencing this life, even when its challenges are overwhelming. I'm never bored. 😊

I will be 62 at 9:50 pm tonight. How the heck did that happen???
