Saw this earlier near home: Fucking hell, Santa already looks spent! He’s not even started the gift giving.

Newly elected GOP congressman George Santos appears to have invented his backstory

Both Citigroup and Goldman Sachs told the newspaper they had no record of Santos working there, as he had claimed, and Baruch College found no record that he had graduated in 2010, also as he claimed.

The Internal Revenue Service also found little evidence that his animal rescue group, Friend of Pets United, was a tax-exempt organization.

The rising numbers of CoSo community members is brilliant--there are far more interesting people/posts/content than I could hope to catch up at this point 😊

I do wonder, a little, if that larger number could inadvertently contribute to a dilution of responsibility--CoSo costs a lot to run, and every single person who can help cover expenses makes a difference.

If you *can* help with the bills, please do. If you can't, you are valued as one of us even so.
