Don't you just hate career politicians threatening businessmen? Senator Ed Markey is a limp wristed blow hard who doesn't believe in captitalism.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) told Elon Musk, “Fix your companies. Or Congress will,” after Musk snarkily replied to the senator’s concerns about fake verified accounts on Twitter, and suggested Markey’s real account “sounds like a parody.”

On Friday, Markey sent out a tweet containing a link to a letter he wrote to Musk, criticizing the new $7.99 per month Blue with verification subscription. The letter cites a report from the Washington Post that details how a reporter was able to easily create a fake verified account impersonating Markey and calls on Musk to address the issue. “Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again,” Markey writes.

You want to fix companies, keep Zuckerberg and his ilk out of elections you dick swizzling commie.

And this mini-van is just right.

Bear has to eat, and if it means breaking into a minivan, so be it.

One mama bear in upstate New York proved that to be true by raiding a vehicle for food in front of her four cubs. Yes, she had plenty of mouths to feed.

And giving birth four times shows the mama bear is healthy — and therefore, has a healthy appetite herself.

Woman Cops To Meat Beating At Ohio Walmart
Victim was struck in face with 10-pound tube of ground beef

NOVEMBER 9--An Ohio woman yesterday copped to clobbering a female acquaintance in the face with a 10-pound log of ground beef during a confrontation in the potato chip aisle of a Walmart in suburban Cleveland.

In a deal with prosecutors, Maneka Garner, 27, pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct in connection with her attack last year on a former neighbor. Garner was originally charged with assault.

During a Municipal Court hearing Tuesday, Garner received a 30-day suspended jail sentence and was placed on probation for a year. She was also ordered to pay $155 in fines and court fees.

It's not a mass of cells. It's a baby. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A baby born weighing less than a loaf of bread at just 535 grams has finally returned home to sleep in her own room.

Lauren Ormston’s pregnancy was initially smooth sailing. All her scans came back healthy—even the one at 20-weeks—and she expected to welcome her baby on July 1st.

But on March 4, she began to get severe pains in her abdomen and when she went to the hospital in Surrey, England, she learned she was going into premature labor.

She was immediately induced and two hours later gave birth to baby Isla, weighing just 1.18-lb. Doctors told the 27-year-old and her fiancé that the baby had only a 10% chance of survival due to her size. Laura could only cuddle Isla for a few minutes before she was taken to a ventilator.
