Depraved.

Thats because all alternatives to charities and churches is "socialism" and that programming is pretty strong among middle class culture when you learn to notice it.

It's incredible the extent to which Congress just utterly refuses to defend itself. You'd think for entirely self-interested reasons you would stridently oppose having the power of the purse arbitrarily ripped from you, ya know?

Why would you allow yourself to become the Roman Senate circa 27 BC.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

It's disconcerting that at least a few popular mangaka will decide to use AI to meet their deadlines instead of paying assistants

The American media is handling it exactly how the 30 or so people that fucking own almost all of it want it to be handled, tbh.

I give them a pass when the Gores famously spent the previous 20 years trying to criminalize any kind of dissident art. Maybe the dems should try running candidates that dont suck shit

Works out to roughly $19,656 USD per enrolled musician at a cost of about $7.43 per Irish citizen. In contrast, the US Govt spends only about 59 cents per citizen on the entire national endowment for the arts (across all artistic disciplines).

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

People don't like the special editions but making an excuse to get the original Star Wars back in theaters probably helped the box office for the prequels immensely

Why do they keep betting everything on forcing gen x shit that has limited appeal to younger people?
Tron, Ghostbusters, He-Man, Karate Kid, etc
It's like they don't understand that stuff like Transformers and Ninja Turtles works because they never stopped producing new stuff

Yeah but like, its all fashion trends very specifically from when early 30s people were in college. "Coincidentally" that was around the time that bitter incels banded together on the internet and got noticed by right wing propagandists.

It's a fashion trend from 15 years ago! We are 30 now but dipshits must continue to rail against the Eternal Millennial. Possibly because they're unknowingly repeating the same tired rhetoric from Obamas seconds term, when the alt-right incel shit took off online

Firing workers is non-essential activity, and illegal during a shutdown under the non deficiency act. Vought has no legal authority to do this, and is committing a crime by doing this.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.
