the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Billionaires get mad at things that can't be bought, like talent. Surely they should be able to write books and perform music and have mathematical insights just as well as the talented -- they're rich! If we let them dismiss and devalue real talent, we're going to pay a big price.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

the horse has been beaten to death and beyond but it's just staggering how low the standards are for this guy every week he finds a new, creative way to prove himself unfit for office and none of them mattered at all compared to the fucking gas prices

I mean why bother with all of this? Why even bother with the pretense of art and media? just hook an electrode up to the dopamine center in your brain and keep pressing the button like you're a rat in a fucking skinner machine. Go sit in a dark box hooked up to hoses forever

like even if he got the facts right it was all just bull shit and they were all obviously ready to try and manufacture a news cycle stealing nontroversy using this catnip for chuds with an assist from mainstream media. its just all become so freaking tiring, we have actual issues in this country

It's incredibly on brand how many of these tools are just running with the prescripted "gotcha!" as though Schmitt didn't just publicly soil himself.

People are also upset about non-economic things that get expressed in economic terms, like the fact that everything seems wildly out of control and we have a maniac in charge of the country

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.

I think there's no understanding the AI phenomenon without understanding the timing: At a moment of fascist govt in the US and total govt-corporate alignment that was/is nonetheless failing to consolidate authoritarianism, AI is a corporatist Hail Mary, a supposed panacea for social control.

We gotta seize this dude and all of his enabler’s assets after this. He’s done too much damage. It’s not enough for these people to just sail away from this on a big boat. That’s our boat.

I’ve never worn Crocs in my life and within two days they were out of the ones I wanted for the flight so I had to go for another pair. 11 y/o me is so proud. Yeah I bought the Yugioh Crocs. They’ll be here Thursday. Just enough time to see if they’ll work lol 🤣😭🙃

I need younger generations to understand how weird it is that trump is such a unique terrible fuck up that it’s actually correct to blame the president for a demonstrably shittier economy and costs

trying to make new friends as an adult

Apparently every newspaper in the world has decided to just run the president’s campaign for him

This is quite possibly the most tone deaf opinion piece I’ve ever read (CalMatters is fine) Yeah buddy, the techbros aren’t paying taxes and jacking up electricity prices and chortling about how everyone is going to be out of a job soon but sure, it’s the Democratic Party that’s the problem

since I haven't seen anyone else mention where this wet shitheap actually was, and I happen to remember it clearly, here he is literally during 9/11 calling into WWOR in Jersey to brag about how he now has the biggest building in New York:

democrats, literally the only thing you should be talking about for the next 3 days is donald trump lying about being a 9/11 hero. i dont care if the question is about the economy or gas prices or about how sexually attractive you are, you steer that answer to trump lying about being a 9/11 hero

Jensen Huang just claimed the Singularity hit and we have achieved AGI. So two years from now, when we don't have fusion power and intergalactic travel etc because The Singularity is a fantasy, I assume everyone will admit they've been had.

i am a tech company from 2026. i am called nazgul after the evil soulless gouls from the lord of the rings that go around killing people. i have no viable products and no profits. my ceo is a crazy drug addict who keeps talking about war and jesus christ on tv. give me a trillion of your tax dollars

Western animation peaked 34 years ago today

dems would be well served by ditching the ambiguous "affordability" platitudes and just hammering these clowns on corruption, all day every day. That's what they did to Orban in Hungary

I understand the confidence about how this will all end, but I'm still livid at the Postmaster General for having the gall to say the USPS has the right to decide who gets to vote, when the USPS's actual job is to DELIVER THE GODDAMN MAIL, including every ballot, whether Donald Trump likes it or not

we’re at the stage where they just describe the dystopian prison they are building with AI without the pretense. Almost refreshing

Trump is not just the worst president, but the worst US citizen of my entire lifetime. A world historical failure of humanity and morality. He and his wicked entourage have burdened us with the task of repairing his damage and eradicating his evil legacy for the rest of our lives.

I just … ah … what the … I can’t even … this is … an absolutely extraordinary thing for a US President to say. More than 36000 Americans were killed in the war with North Korea. And he’s taking their side against our long-time allies. Insane undersells it.

Politicians love screaming "support our troops" until actual troops and families ask for basic empathy. Calling military families liars when the proof is sitting on their phones isn't leadership, it's cowardice. Try taking accountability for once.
