*in violation of the law… This is really not that hard.
I really feel like more heds should note that the president lacks legal authority to do this (congressional approval required) -- all he did was scribble his name on a fancy piece of paper
Probably got off cheap tbh
Capitulation is death

Obviously the same
After the fall of Chevron, why would any company feel the need to defer to a federal agency?
@nytimes.com why are you like this
some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly
Again: They never, ever wanted 'small government.' They merely loathed the idea of a government doing things to benefit the people they hate. They love the idea of a government dedicated to pummeling the people they hate.

In 2024, Harris, the DNC, and the SuperPACs scrupulously followed Shor's advice to achieve a decline across every metric and every demographic. Urban, rural, college, non-college, young, old—you name it and Shor's mealy-mouthed centrism produced a loss. So of course Dems still listen to him.
the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
I don’t hear “Democrats” using these terms. Pelosi? Jeffries? Clyburn? Schiff? Swallwell? Waters? If you mean liberals then provide the alternative word that would be clearer. Or is it that you don’t think the concepts are real? Patriarchy is a thing. If there’s a better word, let’s hear it.

just lost $100,000 on a polymarket bet that trump would negotiate a peace deal today with putin. i was sure of it. i can't believe i lost all this money. he wrote the art of the deal.
Septa soft-launching cuts today. Train to and from work both canceled.

SEPTA defunding is going to go down as a cautionary tale against fiscal responsibility. you can count every penny, achieve efficiencies that put your costs an order of magnitude below peer systems, never expand the network and focus only on maintenance, and still get curb-stomped
You are not going to out "tough on crime" fascist Republicans. Because they don't actually care about *crime* - they care about racism and power.
I was told this was a lie when ::checks notes:: the lady running against him sounded the alarm
No, my network did not adequately convey the dangers of a second Trump presidency during the 2024 campaign. Because if we had, we would’ve been accused of liberal bias.
The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.
First off: disgusting. Is there a crypto bro who is not a piece of shit? Second: have they seen Sophie fight? Let her at them.
Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I wonder how it would have been framed if Joe Biden had been in a delusional fantasy world about key aspects of the job.

let me sum this piece up for you: “hey, it’s me zaid jilani! you might remember me from my credulous profile of josh hawley, published the literal day before january 6. well now i have another credulous take, the time on another far-right maniac. i am definitely not an idiot.”

Which is why I'm particularly incensed by her comments at Booker today of all days.
This strikes me as really sick, for some reason. A woman is dead and somehow it was too much trouble to get a human to think about it rather than just have a robot scrape other people’s reporting
Very nasty
Wait a sec. Last year NYC had 171 firearms deaths on a population of 8.3 million. Louisiana had 1,266 deaths on a pop of 4.6 million, which is on the order of 12 times as many. You are twelve times as likely to be killed by a bullet in Louisiana than in NYC.

Only thing that would have made that better was if Rojas kissed him

Also all of Republican policy is easily explained by them not knowing what the current year is or what year anything happened.
Literally this:
Democrats need to learn to stand for something, and stop splitting their team to appeal to everyone. You're never going to appeal to everyone. Just stop the nonsense, stand up for something, and be consistent about it.
my beef with so many centrist democrats is honestly less their ideology than their total lack of political instincts. the actual public is going wild with epstein speculation and this anonymous idiot is skeptical that it is playing outside of washington www.axios.com/2025/07/24/j...

I’m not saying Democrats should use precisely the language Hunter Biden used to defend immigrants, but it would be a hell of a lot better than thinking the politically clever angle is to meet Nazis halfway.
uh…hunter biden for president?
It's been in the party's platform every election since at least 1996.
Most unhinged city. Love it
"don’t ship without orchestration" being Astronomer's slogan is especially hilarious
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
Omg the Ravi bit. That was so funny

Bove shouldn't even have a spot on the bench. I'm old enough to remember when three "Democrats" blocked a qualified Biden nominee for the 3rd circuit because he was ::checks notes:: a Muslim www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...
Tedious to point this out, but: - When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story. -Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.
@ityslmemes.com AND I DON’T WANT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EPSTEIN LIST!
1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue
All that relentless complaining about "the groups" and "leftists online" undermining the Democratic party but we can't get leadership to endorse the actual winner of the Dem primary over a sex pest, a crook, and a Republican in a beret. Our leadership is toxic as hell and needs to go ASAP.
The Tiny Desk concert is also great
*jerking off motion until the end of time*
No...
I don’t think it was ever about child sex trafficking being so morally wrong. I think it was about the fact that they convinced themselves the Clintons/elite Dems were involved and that this was a way to take down the libs and end the left’s moral superiority once and for all
The majority may think: "We're not ruling on the legality of Trump's actions; it's just a stay." Bullshit. With the injunction stayed, Trump and McMahon will be able to effectuate their evisceration of the Department of Education and it will be impossible to put Humpty Dumpty back together.

let's take stock here: (Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it. Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷♀️ YOLO?
It’s absolutely impossible to think this is the result of good faith legal analysis, especially when they refuse to provide any reasons!
This is my demographic. I'm a car guy who is 100% in favor of improving mass transit because unlike other car-centric Americans I recognize that 1) most car owners don't care about cars and treat it like an appliance and 2) fewer cars on the roads means less traffic. It's win win.

The media outlet that asks you to pay $25/month doesn't know if the president can take away an American's citizenship and has to call another person to figure it out
