Wow, super slimy email tactic. Unsubscribe looks like a link but is actually an empty <a> tag with no href. Email text says "reply to this email" but goes to a DoNotReply@ email.

If city leaders were honest…

"We want to spend over $120M on a new facility for a team owned by a wealthy out-of-state family. We won't get this money back & maintaining the stadium will cost us many millions more. But we would be politically embarrassed if the team leaves our city."

highlighted portion of the article: "discussed the city’s stadium project… a project she called a β€œonce in a generation opportunity” and β€œa new economic engine.” She said the new stadium would drive tens of millions of dollars in economic activity per year."

[panel 1] Tobias: "City leadership always sells a new stadium by saying it will be a great investment…"

[panel 2] Lindsay: "Well did it work for those people?"

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

These are all answers given by trump and his various sycophants in the last five days to the question, "why are we doing this?"

Watched an episode of Bluey last night with my kid (s01e20 - Markets) where the same $5 bill changes hands seven times at a farmers market. If these transactions were all digital, that $5.00 would have become $3.19 by the end.

Pay cash when you can, especially to local shops. πŸ’΅

Womp womp.

Got up at 3AM last night just in case it was clear enough to see the lunar eclipse.

Nope.

The moon was somewhere behind these clouds.

For WEEKS they would not shut up about Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference.

Anyway, here's Trump wearing a baseball cap while he declares war on Iran in his latest flagrant violation of the US Constitution.

Also, Trump raped kids.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the β€œerasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

They can tear it down as long as they put up a plaque somewhere in the replacement buildings to commemorate it as Tonya Harding's training ground. 😏

Jesus said, β€œLet the little children come to meβ€”but, hold on. Are these kids & their parents in the country legally? He who breaks the law is a criminal & must be punished.” So he instructed his disciples to round up the illegal children & send them to detention centers.
