Steve Hilton claims that ballots could be backdated to enable people to fraudulently vote after the election. Hmmm, is that how Trump won? He knows because he has helped do this? I have to wonder…

A warning to @Lyft users. It seems Lyft turns on a default tip of 20% in the app without telling the user so you get charged without being notified. When I went to the app for my ride last night to add a tip, a 20% tip was already added. A default I never set! Bad business!

FYI: If the United States attacked an Iranian ship that:    •   was not threatening anyone,    •   was not engaged in combat, and    •   there was no imminent threat or self-defense claim, then the strike is considered an unlawful use of force under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter EVEN DURING WAR

Makes you wonder how many of them are in the reports. But this is about hiding the truth from the American people. If nothing wrong was done, what are they afraid of? The GOP falls up a new low. Imagine their outrage if the Dems did something like this.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

All the whining from conservatives over Bad Bunny & singing in Spanish. The #1 music star in the world plays and they complain because it was not in English. And saying he is from another country! Did they not learn in 3rd grade that Puerto Rico is a US territory? Such ignorance.

JD Vance claims fewer undocumented immigrants will make housing affordable for Americans. Here’s the problem: you can’t say immigrants “don’t work” and “live on welfare” and blame them for buying up all the houses. Pick one, both can't be true. Contradictions aren’t policy, they’re propaganda.

ARGHHHH!! Could @Chase have the worst customer service ever? I had questions on credit card terms and possibly opening an account. You can't call Chase without an account, and if you force you way past the tree (#0 MANY times) they have no clue about their products. SIGH!

President Trump told 60 Minutes he didn’t know who the crypto CEO was — the one whom he just pardoned. Here’s who he is:

A very wise man from the late 1800’s and very true today: “I have found some of the best reasons I ever had for remaining at the bottom simply by looking at the men at the top.” -Frank Moore Colby

Healthcare for all and release the Epstein files. It is time to practice some Christian values and have easier access to healthcare.

Yet another reason to not use Grok or trust its answers: Elon deciding what is in the model, what he decides is propaganda.
Postponing Grokipedia v0.1 launch to end of week. We need to do more work to purge out the propaganda.

Can’t handle the truth, put in people who will lie along with you. What a disgrace. This is truly sad. Trying to rewrite history when it was thoroughly investigated. 😒 Brennan and Clapper: Let’s Set the Record Straight on Russia and 2016 nytimes.com/2025/07/30/opini… via @NYTOpinion

Just finished Season 2 of @Netflix's StartTrek: Prodigy. I would have to list it high in the list of excellent Trek shows. I really hope a Season 3 is in the works.

Way to go @TMobile. I asked you web page for the nearest store to my location. The first 3 results were 10.9 mi, 14.3 mi and 14.3. The fourth was 1.1 mi. The 5th result 2.3 mi. The ones after that we still closer than the first result. You have a strange idea of closest.

Stupidest shit ever. If you don’t pay for the $8/month blue check mark, you can’t use two factor authentication any more. WTF? Two factor is to protect accounts from unauthorized use. Why would anyone think removing it from accounts is a good idea? DUMB!
