Trump approving house vote is a head fake. The house alone can't do anything, so members can vote in a way that looks good without hurting dear leader. The legislation will be blocked at another step or passed into law and simply not enforced in good faith.

The Democrats aren't an opposition party, they're side characters in the neoliberal political theater that is the USG.

Death is a very somber occasion, and it would be wrong to celebrate that the world is free from someone who invades the wrong country and shoots the wrong species on hunting parties. It's improper to even bring up things a person has done wrong on the occasion of their death. Stop it.

I'm concerned that the media isn't publishing follow-up stories on the pet-eating problem in Springfield, Ohio. Is it a cover up?

Are chatbots mostly causing mental health crises or mostly shining a light on a population that was already in crisis?

Why aren't there candidates like Mamdani in every city? NYC has two things most don't. This clip is about the public financing system. The other is ranked choice voting in the primary. We could have this everywhere if the Republicrats didn't oppose it as an existential threat.
New York's public financing system has helped Zohran Mamdani run an effective grassroots campaign while withstanding a flood of "oligarch money," says journalist @davidsirota.com.

Paying troops with private donations reveals that the plan isn't to shut down the government but to shut down only the inconvenient parts of it, like Congress.

The administration has requested that we always use the ballroom's official name: The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom

Can we please make "beanpile" a word so I can win my word game? BYO definition

The ballroom is a giant distraction and you're all falling for it. Relentless pressure on the Epstein files is the best bet for taking down King Shitzalot.

Everyone relax! The ballroom isn’t being funded by taxpayer money. They’re using bribes. Yeesh.
