In theory voters would then punish Republicans for this blatant departure from historical norms, but haven't we already seen that that isn't a real thing? (Voters don't actually care about any of that, they just want their side to win.)

This crop is never going to do that, plus the administration was already ignoring last year's legal appropriations anyway.

Here's how to turn it off.

It’s Cool to Have No Followers Now As social media has become older, more manipulable, and more automated by artificial intelligence, flouting online popularity has gained a new cachet.

I guess this means I'm cool?

Police take 3 firearms from Amherst worker threatening 'shooting like they did at Tops' Amherst police on Tuesday applied to State Supreme Court for a temporary extreme risk protection order for a 24-year-old Williamsville resident who works at the Amherst's Wastewater Treatment Plant.

I had a summer job at that wastewater treatment plant 35 years ago, and it was chock full of people like this.

And now, it's time for California to disenfranchise our rural voters.
