You know what actually makes women happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage, and not have a miscarriage kill us.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

I think a lot of us are overthinking the language/sentiment of “I am happy MTG is stabbing her party’s figurehead in the gut.” A general sentiment that need not travel much farther than the sentence itself.

Byron Donalds, the Black MAGA candidate for FL governor who romanticized the Jim Crow era, now faces racist attacks from his white supremacist GOP primary opponent who has repeatedly called him a slave.

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months?

We are behind schedule for hitting our end of year goal, making it very likely that we’ll be starting 2026 off with a closed intake line.

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.
