Today the president wrote in his journal that it would be nice if we could do voter suppression and we are now sharing it with you
Why do news organizations keep misstating the effect of this executive order? The president does not regulate elections in this country.

In light of Breaking Bad guy wanting a return to genuinely admirable protagonists, what is your favorite example of one? I’d argue Picard from TNG is a really strong example in that he isn’t infallible but is unrelentingly concerned with the moral costs of decisions and the power placed in his hands

Man it’s gonna be rough now that the FBI isn’t committed to diversity and sensitivity.

The DeepSeek announcement from China has been called by some AI’s “Sputnik moment” for America.

People who digest the TikTok ban by essentially saying it’s degenerate and they don’t like it anyway and therefore doesn’t matter are pretty fundamentally missing the point. I think the NFL is pretty stupid but I understand why people would be rightfully pissed if the govt banned it over politics
