Seems like a lot of people convinced themselves (or were convinced by punditry) that nobody actually believes in social liberalism and every bit of social liberalism over the past decade was an imposition by elites on the masses

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Admin cracking down on Soros, Indivisible, ActBlue, & Jewish peace groups is incredible projection in light of federal contractor El*n M*sk spending more on politics in 2024 than anybody in human history and all the big money corruption of 2025

How the Supreme Court could aid the GOP's redistricting games
If the court rules quickly enough in a key voting rights case, it could allow yet another round of partisan redistricting before the 2026 midterms.

Why should Congress ever negotiate?
Scoop: White House says it has funding to save food aid program Alex Isenstadt f in Add Axios on Google The details: The administration will transfer funding derived from tariff revenue to keep the program going for "the foreseeable future," according to a senior White House official. • The official described the infusion as a temporary fix and declined to say how much money was being sent. • They said the Office of Management and Budget had worked to find a "creative solution" to preserve WIC.

guy who has read North and Weingast: I’m sensing a real credible commitment problem vibe to this whole thing
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + The Soybean Farmers of our Country are being hurt because China is, for "negotiating" reasons only, not buying. We've made so much money on Tariffs, that we are going to take a small portion of that money, and help our Farmers. I WILL NEVER LET OUR FARMERS DOWN! Sleepy Joe Biden didn't enforce our Agreement with China, where they were going to purchase Billions of Dollars of our Farm Product, but Soybeans, in particular. It's all going to work out very well. I LOVE OUR PATRIOTS, AND EVERY FARMER IS EXACTLY THAT! I'll be meeting with President Xi, of China, in four weeks, and Soybeans will be a major topic of discussion. MAKE SOYBEANS, AND OTHER ROW CROPS, GREAT AGAIN! 4.52k ReTruths 19.4k Likes 10/1/25, 1:53 PM

Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan X.com Disagree. Platner and Zohran are not simply unheard of generational political talents who happened to emerge at the same time. Our country is full of people like them: smart, decent, normal, likable. Most of politics is structured around keeping them out. Peter Twinklage & @PeterTwinklage X.com he's one of the best communicators l've seen in years. I'm genuinely gobsmacked. Graham Platner for Senate & @grahamf….3h People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion. SFi|Aaron Her Verson Octo 201 SFC Dece

New law just passed in California seems to ban algorithmic price discrimination
AB325, for instance, would prohibit the use or distribution of a pricing algorithm that (1) incorporates or was trained with "nonpublic competitor data," defined broadly to include data of a competitor in the same or a related market; or (2) is used to set prices and other commercial terms where the algorithm is being used by another business in the same or a related market. In addition to its broad definition of data, AB325's definition of "pricing algorithm" is similarly sweeping-encompassing "any computational process, including a computational process derived from machine learning or other artificial intelligence techniques, that processes data to recommend or set a price or commercial term." As written, the bill would not only prohibit software used to set prices, but also technology used to measure and predict output and capacity needs.
