AIPAC-Funded Dem Leaders Duck War Powers Resolution on Trump and Iran Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries are defending Israel's attack on Iran and have refrained from backing resolutions to prevent Trump from getting the U.S. military more involved.

In June, Dem senators including Van Hollen and Tina Smith joined Bernie Sanders' bill, the No War Against Iran Act, which would mandate congressional approval.

Schumer did not sign on, despite having joined the bill in 2020.

Jeffries did not join the bipartisan House bill. Plenty of money flowed.

Because Schumer & Jeffries genuinely support this; they stopped a Dem push for an Iran war powers act

Saying people think "both parties are the same" obfuscates the nuance of "both parties are too similar" and is fucking stupid, almost as stupid and fucked up as saying they should kill themselves

Today sucks enough as it is, but seeing someone I respect in the American soccer community say people with my political opinions should kill themselves was definitely not needed

When a Spiny Shell is about to hit a racer in Mario Kart World, it aims for the center of their model before exploding. For small racers, e.g. Goomba, this results in a single frame where it fully envelops them, giving off the appearance of the shell itself driving the vehicle.

First thing that came to mind was Lacrosse's inclusion in the 2028 Summer Games. Maybe it's not completely analogous, but, I figure Bandy can be given a shot...

I worked on his campaign in MI in 1988. When he trounced Dukakis there, the Democratic Party went into a panic and did a full-court press to stop Jackson. I remember they got Anthony Lewis, the NYT's token liberal columnist, to write a "shut-up" and eat your Dukakis piece.

i simply do not think the "2016 and 2024 prove america will never elect a woman" people in the QTs are expressing a savvy political wisdom as much as they are expressing cope

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it β€” if the white house is her ambition β€” then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

I just wish the new one had anything on it at all to indicate it was a soccer crest and not just a generic patriotic logo.

It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it. It was unclear how the clip was made, although it appeared to have been generated by A.I. The clip appeared to have been taken from a video that was shared in October by a user on X whose watermark is shown, with the caption β€œPresident Trump: King of the Jungle,” and an emoji of a lion.

The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape β€” and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

An internet search looking for articles of large media outlets who have reported on the president posting a video depicting the Obamas as primates should leave you disgusted with large media outlets. There are a few who did stories, but not many. I guess nothing matters anymore.
