For those who celebrate #Caturday, a case of FAFO with some cats…
😂🤣😂🤣
Fortunately our cat never did that. He just likes to sit in the chairs I need to sit on.🤷♂️

Hey @Grok, concise, no spin.
Which COUNTRY approved $2 BILLION in funding to HAMAS while also publicly declaring it a terrorist organization?
COUNTRY NAME ONLY.
SERIOUSLY??!!😂🤣
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump did not actually put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in as President the second time. Will Abdul El-Sayed be held to a different standard?
Must Vice President JD Vance swear Abdul El-Sayed in on a Quran, or can the oath be taken without any religious book?
@grok?

昨天加拿大政府推出预算 Budget 2026,看到BBC报道里提到加拿大在G7里的对比，我去官方预算报表看了一下，几个数字比较清楚：
Chart 0.2：各级政府净债务占GDP 9.3%，G7最低。
Chart 0.3：IMF预测2027年增速1.7%，G7第二快。
Chart 0.4：各级政府赤字占GDP 2.5%，在G7里也属于较低水平。
Chart 0.11：对非美国市场的出口自2024年以来增加超过50%。
从这几组数据看，债务和赤字在G7里都算低的，短期预期也不算差。底子还在，未来希望能走稳、走好。

Donald Trump made a trade deal with both Mexico and Canada. It was called a USMCA, and Trump said it was the greatest trade deal ever negotiated.
Canada never broke the agreement.
Mexico never broke the agreement,
Donald Trump broke the agreement!
Trump's word on international agreements is as worthless as his wedding vows.

Jon Ossoff’s speaking style echoes Martin Luther King Jr.’s powerful oratory through rhythmic repetition, deliberate pauses, rising emotional intensity, and appeals to justice and moral responsibility. Both transform political messages into broader calls for democracy, equality, and human dignity.

James Talarico draws a distinction between celebrating business success and accepting extreme wealth alongside child poverty
“Some people have asked me if I'm demonizing billionaires.”
“And I've said that I think I'm humanizing billionaires because for one of our own residents to become the world's first trillionaire while one in five Texas children live in poverty, to me, that is a spiritual sickness.”
“I want people to be successful.”
“When businesses are successful, people are successful and I'm all for that, but to accumulate more wealth than you could possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes while we have people starving in this one, to me, that, that means we're not fulfilling our full humanity.”

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

US Senator-elect James Talarico: "You know what's actually an insult to Jesus Christ? Bombing schoolchildren in Iran."

Ossoff: Abroad, American credibility and leadership are in decay, and the world is rearming for global conflict. And at our grave peril, humanity is fast forgetting the terrible lessons of two World Wars and the Holocaust.
Meanwhile, the titans of Silicon Valley dig bunkers for themselves and warn that the artificial intelligence they're creating risks human extinction.
And amidst these challenges of unprecedented consequence and complexity, though we rightly celebrate tonight's historic victory, the fact is we’ve been too long mired in a small and selfish politics, bought by big money, unmoored from fixed moral principles, and resigned to intractable division.
In other words, the United States has been adrift in a gale.
But, Georgia, we can and will reclaim control over our own destiny.

This is why Jon Ossoff won in a landslide in Georgia. He took the gloves off and didn’t pussyfoot around the truth.
Putting aside the fact I wrote about what he said here when many were silent, he’s making the case for why Democrats MUST now hold these monsters accountable.
This isn’t about retribution, it’s about ensuring what Trump and his puppet masters have done NEVER happens again THAT is what the American people voted for.
Of course legislation is a priority it was a priority they didn’t address in 2024, when they failed hard pressed American families who were screaming for help, while they were chasing upper middle class voters who were NEVER going to vote for them.
Then, when they were punished for it at the ballot box, they blamed the American people for rejecting them, and then stayed silent for almost a year while Trump dismantled democracy and tore down the government.
If Democratic leadership can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, then step the fuck aside and let someone who can deliver justice to the American people get the job done. I’d go even further and suggest they step down anyway, because they don’t have the integrity or the trust required for this mission critical moment.
This is NOT the time for more of the same old same old, and that’s what this current leadership represents I’m afraid. It’s why they went into this election with popularity ratings underwater.
This landslide was NOT about a ringing endorsement of the Democratic Party, it was a repudiation of a broken political system.
It’s time for a PEOPLE FIRST REVOLUTION. This is a once in a generation opportunity to deliver transformative change. GET IT DONE.
Oh and before I finish, why does Hakeem Jeffries put full stops in the most odd places in his totally irritating sentences? An orator he is not I’m afraid, yet in a comedic twist of irony, he’s about to become Speaker of the House. Democrats can and MUST do better.
They need to listen and READ THE ROOM, otherwise 2028 will be a repeat of 2024. It’s hard to hear I know, but sometimes the truth hurts and someone has to say it.

Here again, Jon Ossoff manages to explain Don Jr's sudden personal wealth through complex corporate juggling in simple language to a mass audience. His talent is a reputational nightmare for the Trump circle.

Republicans are absolutely cooked if Ossoff runs for president. There’s no way they can beat him.
