@LauraFriedmanCA now I'm really screwed trying to get my 25 year IDR corrected back to 25 years of repayment, along with the correct repayment start in 2000, NOT 2002

Timing your coffee intake for peak cognitive alertness has less to do with cortisol spikes and more to do with leveraging the biology of adenosine. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine, a molecule that builds up the longer youβre awake and makes you feel tired. But right after

I talked to @ryangrim about Israeli disinformation operations promoting regime-change war in Iran and the return of the monarchy. We discussed new investigations by @haaretzcom & @citizenlab. https://t.co/JFqv1ox0qU

While the FAA is, by its own admission, overworked, understaffed, and working with outdated technology, its also opening the door for drones and uncertified eVTOLs to flood our airspaces.

Iβll never build again in Los Angeles. Itβs been 45 days with city inspectors, each one wants something that the previous one didnβt mention. This is for an ADU. No wonder LA has a housing shortage. I built one as a test, knowing I could build another 5+ if I went well. I wonβt.
@RickCarusoLA We have pulled back massively in Los Angeles. This article is accurate, but not close to comprehensive. A few other issues driving the free fall in new construction: - population shrinking does not inspire confidence (and its shrinking because people are voting with their feet)

If you're running for governor as a Democrat, you might want to think about taking down the framed picture of George W. Bush when reporters come to visit your office...

The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.

Amazon is a behemoth, delivering over 1.6M packages a day to homes across the United States. Delivery workers are absolutely essential to this $2 trillion company, yet many struggle to get by and face extreme levels of surveillance and control. https://t.co/wJcU9voDgC

To win elections, Democrats need to expand the coalitional tent and bring in voters who were alienated in 2024. That can only be done by moving left. Link below.

I ran the numbers on UPS vs FedEx. Here's the facts: Β· Unionized employees earn significantly more money Β· Higher dividends show UPS is a more stable & profitable company that can afford high employee pay Β· UPS's higher net income shows that union wages don't hinder profitability
Just had a conversation with my FedEx driver. He was very interested in what forming a union could do all of them. Said there's been chatter for awhile. FedEx's days of underpaying their workers are numbered. Spread the word.

Defiant L's and Resist the Mainstream are both run by Rumen Naumovski, who donated $3K to "QAnon candidate" Ron Watkins' 2022 House primary race, before realizing he wasn't allowed to, he said. Naumovski allegedly pays other influencers to promote his content. Half a dozen
