people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

Said this a million times but the entire idea of having a judiciary made up of people who’ve never worked a real job in their lives (and law practice is the fakest of all fake jobs, more fake than even whatever Logan Paul does) is the foundational derangement of western society

Buckle up, young adults. You are about to suffer in a horrible job market and a horrible economy, and your President voted by you and endorsed by your favorite Podcasters and influencers is about to wreck your financial life for a while.

What’s most surprising about these obvious signs of some type of serious illness is that the secret hasn’t leaked yet. (Or maybe it has leaked, but our complicit media already caught-and-killed the story…)

You should call your congressional reps and any other democratic politician you can and demand that they vote for him to step down. This cannot continue. This is absolute insanity. He is a total dumbass and it will be our downfall
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

I went to the dealership the other day, and they said that the car brand I was looking at buying from wouldn’t have any electric vehicles for sale for at least the next year
We must be the only country in the whole world where EV sales are falling

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Anyone who thinks that prediction markets trading on “differences in opinion” will be a bigger market than the discounted cash flows of all publicly traded companies in the world is on craaaaaaack

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Something that doesn’t sit right with this article is that they portray Trump’s sycophantic cabinet meetings as part of a larger trend among rich people and not a complete aberration, even compared to the rising decadence of the upper crust

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

On top of everything else, Nuzzi revealed a source??? This is all just absolutely batshit, and if they don’t retract all her articles and bar her from the industry, I don’t want to hear anymore theories from these people on why people don’t trust the media anymore — it’s pretty fucking obvious to me

part of my pitch for future democratic military policy is "we should crush the special forces and double crush the seals specifically"
they contribute little-to-nothing valuable to american defense and are riddled with war crimes and also just regular crimes

They're routing this through SOCOM ppl who have traditionally been used for assassinations abroad, presumably including occasional black ops on the high seas.
I’m surprised that the military has been so willing to break the law here.

Honestly I also struggle to care much about Trump calling for democratic politicians to be hanged for seditious treason. They’re the ones who haven’t treated him like a serious threat to our constitution and our country. This was the inevitable consequence.
Of all the things I care little about right now, it’s Trump being mean to journalists. I’m more worried about poor immigrants being abducted and tortured than a DC journalist who got called names. Sorry journalists. Your colleagues have put you all in a position of deserving little of our sympathy.
