It's a small thing but it's nice to see the Dems social media presence have more teeth.

Don't tell me what you "meant" by your post. I, the post consumer, will decide what you meant. And frankly what you meant was disgusting

He's not just tacky and tasteless. He's a monarchist, and so he's desecrating our iconic national symbol of having a republican head of state. Any of the Founders would have immediately clocked his Oval Office as vulgar Versailles wannabe crap, wholly incompatible with American norms and values.

It's comforting to know that apparently this Administration has, thus far, been unable to corrupt or destroy the US Consumer Product Safety social media team.

Everytime I see Sam Altman it looks like the demon he made a pact with has sucked a little more of his life force away.

Let me expand on this point. The Constitution is quite clear that you can't distinguish between kinds of persons in running the Census. And that is especially about apportionment for Congress. The original language makes it pretty clear when it talks about "free persons". But the 14th amendment ...

The news cycle this week has felt particularly bleak.

But then again, that's most weeks in this hell hole of a timeline.

He has no authority to do this.

The constitution explicitly says that a census can only be conducted every 10 years.

The cable news shows would still be talking about this if it happened under Biden.
