Millions of Americans are getting kicked off of their health insurance.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Millions of Americans are getting kicked off of their health insurance.

Millions of Americans are getting kicked off of their health insurance so that Donald Trump can fund tax handouts for billionaires like Elon Musk.

Let that sink in.

Even the legal justification for drone strikes on senior members of al Qaeda and associated forces (ostensibly covered under the 2001 AUMF) states that strikes are justified only โ€œwhen capture is infeasibleโ€

it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?

You donโ€™t just shoot up the enemy if theyโ€™re defenseless and not capable of doing anything.

We need a full investigation for war crimes.

If the crewmen who survived the first strike on the boat Sept. 2 were in such good shape that they were still "in the fight," as Tom Cotton claims, let's see the damn video โ€“ all of it.

The title page for a Politico.EU story. It reads. 

X axes European Commissionโ€™s ad account after โ‚ฌ120M EU fine
Nikita Bier, Xโ€™s head of product, accused the EU executive of trying to amplify its own social media post about the fine on X by trying โ€œto take advantage of an exploit in our Ad Composer.โ€

It has a picture of Elon Musk looking stern.

Turns out Elon is the one censoring the EU, not the other way around.

Hegseth reversed the policy Mark Esper put in place in 2020, which was designed to prevent โ€œdiscrimination, prejudice, and bias in all ranks.โ€ Hegseth wants to know what they look like when these decisions are made.

"I saw the video and what if a bird flew by and one of the shipwrecked used a paper clip and squid ink to write a message to attach to the bird's leg to get a message to Suriname so they could continue their mission?"

Trumpโ€™s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men The Trump administrationโ€™s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.

If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, theyโ€™ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.

Either way, never trust them again.

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Let's leave priggish Tom Cotton on a piece of debris from a boat that just exploded in the middle of a large body of water and see if he feels "shipwrecked" or that he is "floating helplessly."

Waymo will recall software after its self-driving cars passed stopped school buses Waymo is issuing a software recall for its self-driving cars after reports the company's autonomous vehicles failed to stop for school buses.

Self-driving is going so well ๐Ÿ™„

"The NHTSA website also includes a letter from the Austin Independent School District, saying the district has documented 19 instances of Waymo vehicles "illegally and dangerously" passing the district's school buses."

In one case a student nearly got hit ๐Ÿ˜ก
