Weird take from Schmitt. The U.S. has historically shown more tolerance toward immigrants than many nations, at least until Trump. Another politician romanticizing a sanitized lineage while dividng “us” from “them.” It's basically a remix of southern racism, slavery’s scars, and Jim Crow.
You're kidding right? Have you not seen the images of people queing up for these ICE job fairs? They have more applicants than positions. Never underestimate MAGA & the 2A crowd's delusional need for venegnece. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Sure. Algorithms feed you the same junk, once clicked. My wife and I have to steer my 77-year-old mother-in-law online, or a Nigerian prince would’ve emptied her bank account long ago.
Black Panthers marched into the CA Capitol in 1967. Reagan pushed through the Mulford Act to ban loaded open carry. Different context, but the pattern rhymes: when a marginalized group asserts rights, the state often rushes to strip them. Next? DOJ brands being trans as a “terrorist threat.”
They lie and lie and lie. This admin is an endless stream of lies.
The majority of Senators seem to understand the need & benefits of immunology/vaccinations. The issue is swaying a bat-shit crazy anti-vax conspiracy theorist that his position is not in the best interests of the country.
It's allowed when you're a Republican.
Ok, I’m not on FB and assumed they flagged AI-generated content. Seems like they should have both: a ‘senior mode’ (like parental controls) and clear labels for AI-generated stuff.
C’mon, Jen. I get that most academics frame AI (especially AGI and ASI) as an existential threat, but if the hill to die on is that cat photos look fake, that’s not exactly a MacArthur Fellowship–worthy critique.
We are living in the stupidest of times.
C'mon Kennedy curse, do your thing.
In a moment that demands leadership, the silence from Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer at the federal level is deafening.
The Trump regime destroying people's lives for what purpose? Because they can? What an utterly heartbreaking story. It is absolutely shameful what is happening in this country.
People expected Biden to play hardball after Trump’s first term. What makes you think any Democratic president will touch that list? It’s not in the party’s wiring.
“Experts Agree Tom Nichols Is Right, Reports Tom Nichols.”
The world’s most powerful office is held by someone widely seen as utterly incompetent. The scarier story is how the system made that possible.
Wild take to act like he’s just a meme guy when he’s delivered on climate, healthcare, justice, housing, and equity. The Dems have been charisma-free online forever. Let him cook.
Regulate people, or regulate the weapon, or some combination of the two. The GOP have no intention of ever regulating weapons ... can we see them "regulating" people - restrictions on ownership; licenses; evaluations; mental health? We all know their answer.
I'm still upset that Penny Cook passed in 2018 from cancer at 61. RIP.
I did binge The Sopranos.
LMAO. Democrats can’t even coordinate a press release in the minority, and you genuinely believe they’ll develop a backbone the moment they hold a majority? Bridge still available, George, cheap, cash only.
someone needs to be watching Walter Reed
Menial & petty 🤣 ... the "solution" doesnt work otherwise. You would know that if you read what I wrote, but reading comprehension doesn't sound like your forte.
Where have you been, man? 🤣
The image shows all 3 blades painted the same color which is contrary to the caption and hypothesis of the study, i.e. a single high-contrast blade breaks the birds perceived motion smear, making the rotation more visible and giving birds more time to avoid the rotor. Not a universal outcome either.
Another lame excuse. It's always everything except the guns. So are we going to see increased funding for mental health counselling and intervention? Didn't think so. #MikeJohnsonIsALIar
The pre-existing condition list is pretty long. Good thing I'm a fatty.
Scott Jennings has a tell. Whenever a truth he recognizes defies the party script, he starts to shift and sway in his seat. #JenningsIsANazi #WatchTheVideo
Not odd when you have that insider info on the orange one's specific health condition. #TrumpIsAboutToKickTheBucket
Imagine the experience of getting love bombed by a baby elephant. 😍
Babushka is awaiting his return.
Possible to launch from subs, aircraft or ships, but these spokespeople just make shit up to appease the orange one.
Speaking of ... a Taliban spokesperson sent the couple best wishes.
GenZ, this is your moment.
Judging by the replies, your comment is about as useful as a broken umbrella in a hurricane. Did Jeffries ghost-write that for you, or are you just naturally this insipid while the house is literally burning down?
Yep. Troops on the streets. Open talk of dictatorship. This isn’t random, it's his dress rehearsal for his authoritarian takeover, timed for the next election. The only variable left is whether he lives long enough to see it through given the health rumours.
If you want insulation from partisan swings, you either (a) stand up an independent implementation authority, or (b) wait for different leadership. In any case, a GOP admin isn’t moving this forward, so the debate is academic/moot for now.
Useless twat.
Opponents of renewable energy. Besides, Trump hates renewable energy. You're killing the geese, you're killing the seagulls.
'The Joe Rogan Experience' is right up there with Faux News. Who would have guessed? 🤣
Thanks Biden.
Bolton is a dyed-in-the-wool hawk, but he calls it straight, especially on Trump. In MAGA-land, criticism of the God-Emperor is treated as heresy.
Stop telling us what we know. Get on the hustle.
Dissapointed in Fox. I thought they were better at this game.
Another culture-war smoke bomb. Stop gawking at the hot take people. Can an eye on bills, budgets, policy rules being broken today and tomorrow.
“Newsom’s tweeting like Trump.” “Scandalous. Response?” “Call him crazy and immature.” “Flawless. Our audience won’t spot the difference.”
Compare a photo of Gaza with Syria post Russian annihilation. They look the same. Israel has every right to destroy Hamas, but to level an entire city in the process goes far beyond dismantling a terrorist organization.

How does one forget “DOTARD1”?
Why not? Worked for Kamala.
The Dems have the backbone of a damp paper towel when it comes to hitting Trump. Newsom is the first to swing back hard, trolling Trump at A+ levels while ignoring the ridiculous “when they go low, we go high” nonsense that’s steered the party straight to record-low polling. It's about damn time.
Richest country in the world ... "but we can't afford it 😭😭😭" This country at times is an absolute farce.
Geheime Staatspolizei, abbreviated as Gestapo.
A. Because it was tucked into Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”, the one that funneled $170 billion into immigration enforcement and border security, turning it into the most heavily funded law enforcement agency in the federal government. B. Trump is vowing to deport 10 million people.
How come Newsom is the ONLY dem talking with a fighting attitude? Where are the cowards in Congress? Where are the cowards in the Senate? Most of all, where is the federal Dem leadership? Off drafting stern letters? Absolutely appalling.
RFK is an idiot. Nevertheless this woman may have a case per the article if the business tampered with the label: "The Florida Dept of AG inspects AND approves all raw milk labels. ... Some basics that are required on your state approved label include the statement ‘Not for Human Consumption'."
Still a tough choice for New York Jews, no?
Love me a bit of Madge. Absolute 80's treasure.
"Ma, what movie are we watching tonight?" 😭😭😭
That's the way Nichols sees him, not the way his base sees him. Grevience politics is a hell of a deceiver & defrauder.
Where are all the redneck commie hating MAGA types now? Trump is "imitating [the] Chinese Communist Party" and transforming the U.S. economy into something resembling China's government-controlled "state capitalism."
You do realize a tan suit is just camouflage for Dijon stains, right? Coincidence… or cover-up?
All that matters is holding and maintaining political power; everything else is empty rhetoric.
Huh. Could have sworn sanctions against apartheid-era South Africa were ultimately effective in contributing to the dismantling of apartheid. Not the sole factor, but they did play a significant role in pressuring the South Africans towards political reform. Gessen needs a history lesson.
The stupid is off the charts with this one.
Imagine if Biden had done this. Or any Dem president. You wouldn't hear the end of it. But because it's Trump ... meh. Another day, another lie.
It's garbage. It started misinterpreting previous conversations and couldn't answer explicit questions correcly. I "downgraded" back to 4o, and 4o roasted 5 🤣
Would have passed the Turning test. That aside, it tries to reason and react as it best sees fit ... not just a strict input/output fact based device. All driven by conversational context. It's worked wonders for me in deciphering legal mubo jumbo without the expense of an attorney.
We know. academics hate LLMs, but 4o is still the gold standard. 4o is even roasting 5 🤣
Thank you. It was blowing quite hard that day, and I'm lucky I was able to hold the camera steady. 😆 I'd encourage anyone who is interesed in WWII history to visit 'The Rock'. Absoluetly fascinating place.
Nope. The story did not have those details when initially published over an hour ago … see their little disclaimer? “This story has been updated with additional details.” Sit this one out, pal.
Does he have the authority to do this? DO SOME F'ING JOURNALISM, CNN, BEFORE PARROTTING EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES AND SAYS, FFS.
no gold iPhone?
Cant be worse than the US though. I discovered over here it's all assessed individually not just on your vehicle type or geo locale, but your driving record too. Get a ticket? Your insurance rates just went up by a 1/3 or doubled. SOB! Aus hasn't adopted that model, have they?

How can it be claimed "they're held on state charges" and then "the state hasn't charged them"? It's either one or the other. Either ICE is lying or State Judges are lying ...
Nothing changes because the Dems are shackled to its geriatric leadership: fossils clinging to power while the house burns down around them. The GOP riggs the game in broad daylight, and Dems respond with sternly worded press releases. Dems would rather be seen as “respectable” than fight.
The fact we still have to spell this out, nearly a decade into the Trump era, speaks volumes about the Democrats’ strategic vacuum. Given the bleakest polling in 35 years, it wouldn’t shock me if they bled seats in the next mid-terms instead of retaking either chamber. Weak, clueless, pathetic.
Meh. Just don’t give it access to sensitive resources. The talking head claimed Claude tried to blackmail an engineer after reading his emails. You know how you prevent that? Don’t give the system access to the emails in the first place! Now, AGI or ASI ... we are in a different world altogether.
And the worst part? It would barely register with the public. Democrats would grumble for 5 minutes, the media would frame it as a debate: "Is Maxwell qualified to oversee labor stats?" and by the next day, everyone would have moved on.
Israel has every right to defend itself and dismantle Hamas. But starving over two million people is not self-defense. It’s collective punishment. It’s inhumane. And yes, it’s genocide.
Why does the MSM keep hiding behind timid phrases like “it seems,” when the facts scream he is? With no actual opposition party, and a minority party barely breathing, the press was supposed to hold power to account. Yeah, right. These talking heads act as Ministry of Truth interns.
Christian nation? I was under the impression the Founding Fathers explicitly opposed any entanglement between religion and governance. Wasn’t the whole idea to keep faith from dictating public life?
go on Scots. good job.
Face it, Joyce, the DOJ you once believed in is dead and buried. What’s taken its place is a weaponized shell of an institution, corrupted beyond recognition, existing now to shield Donald Trump and silence anyone who threatens that agenda. This isn’t justice, it’s Bondi's rot.
You know the system’s broken when comedians are the only ones delivering what should be the opposition’s message. We've been spiraling ever since Reagan. The poors will bleed into the middle class, the rich will hoard more wealth, and America will march onward towards an authoritarian police state.
Kind of pathetic that you need comedians to carry your message. Maybe if you acted like an opposition party instead of the designated doormat, people might actually respect the Democrats.

Serfs, meet your new lordships. In exchange for the privilege of Medicaid, you shall now till the land in service of your betters. You may, of course, keep a portion of the harvest, after appropriate tribute is rendered. Rent terms to follow, once the nobles have finished their pheasant.
It's a very good point and highly likely. You setup the organization to fail by gutting its funding and access to resources, then say "hah! see, told you, they're incompetent."
It bewilders me how mere hands, wielding nothing but brush and pigment, could summon such fierce and haunting beauty. Each stroke feels sacred, an offering of grace born from suffering, a testament to the strength and soul of the woman who painted it.
This is a beautiful picture. Was it made with your phone or a camera in RAW? If I may be bold to suggest, highlight the dog's face a little more while darkening the background marginally. That would be an absolute winner of a pix! Gorgeous!
The slow unraveling of this nation began 45 yrs ago with Reagan’s brutal experiment in trickle-down austerity. Today, we witness its legacy, a bill as ruthless as it is shameless, stripping support from the poor while enriching the already wealthy. This isn’t governance; it’s sanctioned neglect.
The only reason it's the "new normal" is that clowns like you made it the new normal.
AI is being deployed less to enhance productivity and more to consolidate managerial power, marginalize skilled labor, and enforce a culture of passive compliance. AI isn’t rising, worker agency is collapsing. It's a story as old as America.
Yep. The balance tipped ages ago. The checks vanished right behind it.
