"Financial records showed that Taylor Farms donated $1 million to a Trump-supporting super PAC, MAGA, Inc., in March, just days after the Trump administration delayed an FDA rule to strengthen food traceability regulations."

He's such a complete turd, and now the new Chair of the Senate Budget Committee. Stuck with him through 2028.

Trump's biggest success or the scandal of a lifetime, which is it?
They're all over the place, chasing their own tails in a fit of self-absorption, while the country burns to the ground.
Will of the people? They don't know the meaning.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social anyone that runs on 10 year term limits for SCOTUS, ending Citizens United and the implementation of ranked choice voting has my vote. All I hear is "kitchen table" issues. There's no democracy until major reform. Then we can get back to the kitchen table.

@meltedcheese@c.im I'm not a violent person, but every time I see his face, and especially when he speaks, I get the urge to punch him in the mouth. It's a constant stream of vitriol. I remember bumping into him at the State Fair one year, the mother of all friendly gatherings, he couldn't even pretend to hear anything that didn't reflect his poisoned view of the world.

@OutOnTheMoors@beige.party the math to make it big, reminds me of KONGOS. By the time one wondered how "Come With Me Now" got stuck in their head, they were on their way to see them at a local festival. Then there's the designer hit manufacturers, reducing popular music to an equation to pump out fast success with catchy tunes: Shiny Toy Guns, Wolfmother. Remove sincerity from art and it's nothing but formulaic fodder.

@globalmuseum@mastodon.online look how far we've come, instead of a researcher accessing multiple books at once, now a tech bro can access the minds of a million researchers.
Here they go again, Wisconsin Republicans must be worried about turnout. So, they're loading the ballot up with referendums to push their base to the polls. Nothing about legalizing marijuana or ranked-choice voting for citizens to weigh in on, just a bunch of ideological nonsense. What a bunch of clucks. Absolutely useless, every last one of them.

@hn100@social.lansky.name technology of any sort typically is, but the cost just gets passed onto the consumer, giving its owners a competitive advantage. Voilà, everything is more expensive. If they actually paid for their toys themselves the world wouldn't be so fucked.
Election Assistance Commission completely gutted just before midterms, to be restocked by, yours truly, Donald J. Frump.
I don't know what's more concerning, decapitating a commission in an effort to make those that believe its more than symbolic go totally berserk, or him converting its role of guidance into one of surveillance.
Wake up, everyone, why do you think Captain Huey wants Hyperscalers to come online so fast? There's nobody left to keep track of the books. Until, after the fact, and then, it's a witch hunt! Kaboom! All the freaks come out of the woods, again, to fight for their Savior.
He's already giving Wisconsin the turn of the screw, doing everything in his power to put his lackey, Tiffany, in charge of the state.
Wrestle the stick away from him only to give it to whom? Beware giving it to a shill all the way on the other side too.
Power to the people, ranked choice for the people, right on!
