Cocaine, fentanyl and Ted Cruz, somehow it all makes sense

A Heritage Foundation employee faces a drug-possession charge after a security screening at a Senate office building turned what tested presumptively positive as cocaine and fentanyl, according to court records.
Capitol Police officers detained Matthew Christopher Wingate on July 14 after he entered the Russell Senate Office Building and placed his bag on the X-ray belt as part of routine screening, according to an affidavit filed in Washington, D.C., superior court.
Wingate is the government-relations director for defense and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation, and previously worked as a national security adviser for Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and a military legislative assistant for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), according to Legistorm.

From what I understand, it was never supposed to be a truck, it was supposed to be a tax write-off for businesses. That's also why it's stupid ugly and heavy, it has to be 500 or 600 lbs (I forget which) to get the write-off as a truck. The fact that everyone laughs when they see them was unexpected. I think they thought it would be loved by all, especially the businesses.

A new piece from Bloomberg makes the case, comparing the Tesla vehicle to the misfortunes of Ford's Edsel, which was first introduced in 1957 and discontinued just two years later. After spending years building up hype for the car, Ford predicted selling 200,000 units in its first year, but ended up selling less than a third of that.
That's comparable to expectations versus reality of the Cybertruck. In fact, the Cybertruck is actually doing worse in key ways. Tesla's annual sales target was 250,000 units, but it didn't even crack 40,000 sales in its first year. And like the Edsel, it's sold less with each successive year, with barely 7,100 registered in the US in 2026 so far, according to S&P Global Mobility data — despite Musk juicing those figures by selling Cybertrucks to his own companies.

I know, I think it's funny. But someone has to call out the guy who's agreeing with Admiral Patrick and always seems to have a space/star trek themed name. Either an excellent shit poster that I get to set up, or it's one of their buddies/alts.

It made me wonder if he didn't get the list from the largest instance he's a user on? I'm telling you, they do some curating of the content over there. It happened to me and that's why I'm SJW.

Really? I'm malicious spammer, hate-monger or blackhat state actor? News to me, but good to know.

Though I do fear the backlash. You’ve got a bunch of malicious spammers, hate-mongers and blackhat state actors who now have an open window to cause a lot of harm (harassment & general sowing of discontent) with the convenient smoke screen of upset trans folks who it can be blamed on.

Hey governor of Kentucky, hold that special election please?

This is outrage porn. What's this a distraction of?

Maybe this? Modelling scout linked to Epstein found dead in Paris

Edit 2: This is more likely it:

Hegseth says Iran war has cost $37.5 billion as lawmakers grill him over request for more funding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the Trump administration's $80 billion funding request as lawmakers from both parties pushed back.

Something tells me that now that he hasn't made millions of dollars, he doesn't like Kirk.

The Federal Communications Commission approved Reflect Orbital’s plan to launch Eärendil-1, an experimental satellite carrying an 18-meter-wide reflective surface. The mirror would redirect sunlight toward a targeted area after dark, producing a beam roughly five kilometers wide.
The July 9 authorization applies to one demonstration satellite, not the enormous constellation the California company eventually hopes to build. Reflect Orbital has described plans for more than 50,000 mirrors by 2035, creating what it calls “sunlight on demand.”

That's one instance, we all have to keep trying. It really depends on the state, who's answering the phone and who it gets sent to for it to be handled.

They're currently holding up the state's investigations by saying they're doing their own and doing nothing.

Months after the ICE shootings in Minnesota, a federal probe remains elusive

Months after federal immigration agents shot and killed two people and wounded a third in separate incidents during the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the status of the federal investigations into the three shootings remains an open question.
In the case of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen killed by Border Patrol agents, the Department of Homeland Security told NPR in a statement that the Justice Department is leading an investigation. The DOJ, however, did not respond to NPR's request for comment.
In the case of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant who was shot by an ICE officer and survived, DHS told NPR an internal investigation is underway.
As for Renee Macklin Good, a U.S. citizen killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, DHS said in a statement "the matter remains under investigation."

So, that leaves it up to the states? No take backsies.

It's the price fixing. If the market was the way it used to be, you could afford rent.

I think it's both. They borrowed money on the future of AI.

Name and shame. Also, just because we're catching one and not catching all of them, doesn't mean that we can't go after this one. Hopefully, the people you're talking about will go after their employers too.

He could be replaced with AI and AI would def do a better job. He's not only evil, but he keeps trying to do new markets that absolutely suck: Legless Universe, Creep Glasses, Spy on everyone and propagandize them in a closed, addicting environment. Okay, that last one has been really successful.

Please let them all be magas that get kicked out.

Is this to get rid of the women? *Or maybe to make the older soldiers "look better"?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Pentagon will begin requiring annual testosterone deficiency screenings for active-duty service members age 30 and older, saying the move is designed to improve military readiness and support long-term health.
While the screenings will be mandatory for eligible service members, Hegseth said that any resulting treatment would remain voluntary. "If treatment is recommended, it's entirely your choice to receive testosterone replacement therapy," he said.
