It is amazing how this guy is so flippantly stupid and bad at everything he tries to do. One of shining failing upwards dummies of Trump 2.0

Absolutely embarrassing for Schumer and Jeffries to not have backed the candidate that had the race called for him within 5 minutes of closing. Schumer not revealing his vote is even more humiliating.

It will be very funny if nobody gets banned for insulting one of the main architects of modern conservatism when dozens of people did for defaming America's 38th most popular podcaster. It'll really show where postmodern conservatism is at as a movement.

Where it adds up is multiple subscriptions to various models. People pay for access then let the monthly charges keep going, like streaming subscriptions. Then the models will tease out special videos/interactions for one time charges

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.”

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.
