the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

I'm gonna need one of these yahoos to explain how "discouraging ice helos" makes it any less stupid.

You're committing an easily trackable federal crime and giving them the excuse they need to escalate towards their police state dream.

I've heard that it helps to yell "You never gave up on anything in your life, now fight, damn you!"

It gets much better once you get into the corporate intrigue, and the actors playing the hybrid kids do a phenomenal job.

Plus weird new aliens and synthetic Raylan Givens!

Its a bit of a slow burn, which can bode well for a series longevity

I'd say its one to keep an eye on 😁

Whenever my computer glitches, I know its because some code lost a game of laser jai alai.

They could've used that money to bring back Firefly.

I'd be asking these guys if they know what the statute of limitations is for assault, because they're gonna be found.

He's so proud of it, he mentions it twice.

The last people I would allow to diagnose an emergency are people who think fentanyl is absorbed through the skin.

I don't think there's anyone more openly and constantly abusive to another person than cops are to the people they bring to the ER.

President Donald Trump recently made his boldest claim yet in his
longstanding promise to lower drug prices.
"You know, we've cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300 and 1,400, 1,500%," he told reporters on Sunday, noting the reductions will start over the next two to three months. "I don't mean 50%. I mean 14- 1,500%."
Trump has unveiled a number of moves aimed at cutting drug prices in recent months, but he has yet to move the needle on reducing costs - much less slashing them by 1,500%, which is mathematically impossible, experts say.

Highlight on obnoxious use of "experts say"

Probably the same experts who claimed his pharmaceutical savings were mathematically impossible.

I'm going to play this video next time I'm at the CVS to prove they owe me $2500

Its crazy to me that only one reporter to my knowledge has ever looked into ES&S, which has always been run by republicans, always produced shady results, and was the only voting machine company that was never mentioned by trump.

I just got a shiver when I noticed that there appears to be a rail line running into the facility.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Trump 1 filled the government with saboteurs that Biden left in place to continue saboteuring because they didn't want to appear partisan.

its way more in context than "you didn't build that".
