This bill is a staggering combination of cruelty and stupidity. More commodity subsidies + slashed SNAP benefits = paying farmers to overproduce food people can no longer afford to buy. The inevitable increase in food waste from this imbalance is just an evil gift with purchase I guess.

Next steps (both to return the kidnapped men to the US AND to enforce some actual goddamn consequences on President 34 Felonies) are murky but criminal contempt is a good start.

This is such an extremely niche pun and I love it, sometimes it's good to know the internet can still function as intended.

Good news about the stock market I guess, I like having money too, now, was anyone planning to stop the ICE kidnappings, the rampant digital book burning, and the stripping trans people of their documentation and travel rights? Or is it really only the economy that gets people mad?

I, for one, welcome our new penguin overlords.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

When I saw this headline yesterday, I was really hoping it would turn out to be an April Fool's joke in very poor taste. (NOPE THEY ARE REALLY THAT STUPID) wapo.st/42dVyTk

These are the 1st images of humpbacks having sex, and they're both males | CBC Radio Photographers Hawaii captured what scientists say is the first documentation of humpback whale sex.

Abandoning so-called "far left" voters (meaning BIPOC and LGBTQ+ let's not pretend we don't know) just lets the GOP attack whoever's left. Did nobody else read the entire "first they came for..." poem JFC.

If I were in a gov't position with the power to approve grants/loan forgiveness/any way to give away money to non-billionaires or deserving institutions, I would be rubber stamping EVERYTHING and doing whatever I could to get those checks out and cashed before Elon steals the entire Treasury.
