Will be very curious to see what happens if Kelly gets recalled vis a vis Article I Section 6 Clause 2. Does the Senate have to expel him? Does he lose his seat automatically? The way the clause is written, it's the Senate membership that he'd have to lose, not the Office under the United States

Everyone just now learning how joint ventures work. Meta only has a 4 year commitment to use this data center. Worry about Blue Owl, not Meta.
Meta’s data-center accounting gets the Jon Weil treatment:
It’s “financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet. That outcome looks too good to be true, and it probably is.”

Literally no one in the thread told anyone to “look up the definition of socialism”, this person is insane.
No. You fail. You were given the opportunity to read and you failed.
One person stated that we should look up the definition of socialism, and the followup was a dipshit meme that didn't define it.
You fail, sir.
You have shown yourself to be incompetent or illiterate.
I don't care which.

Federalism “cares” about having separate sovereigns over the same territory. It’s not actually concerned with whether the executive of the federal government is elected by national popular vote or by some vote allocated to the constituent subnational sovereigns.
Federalism, by definition, does not care about giving votes equal weight, it cares about balancing the power among members of the federal union.

I think there are a lot of reasons Mamdani can go to the White House and stand with Trump grinning for photos without much pushback while a lot of other Dems could never: he’s exceptionally charismatic, he does it without giving an inch, but the biggest one is simply credibility. People trust him.

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.
It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

![On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's
19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the
FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had
"determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky.
The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech
was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid5rog4gjpv3qeneunmoyqxoesnuxac2srp3u6ppnjdxphfv7jcoe@jpeg)

So, the government now asserts that the Grand Jury did vote on the two count indictment itself, contradicting what the government represented to in court yesterday. Their evidence appears to be just that the Grand Jury Foreperson said so, which we already knew.
