The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

Did the Biden admin ever seriously consider focusing on being a single-term Presidency from the outset and devote the entire policy agenda to repairing the damage caused by the 45th Presidency?

If not, why?

Was it really Biden's aspirations that drove him to consider running again an option?

In the late 1980s, there was an anti-authoritarian protest movement in Poland called The Orange Alternative where people would wear "dwarf hats," and it made arresting them look ridiculous

Everyone who studies research methods just had an aneurysm

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Saying this in support of your take btw. Spot on. Just adding to it

A near total misinterpretation of these data. The sampling includes all respondents, not some subset like independents or newly registered voters etc. The weight in the descriptive stat stems from self-designated left and Democratic respondents, not a new shift from outside of their support base.

The Dude has spoken:

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I had an opposite experience to this.
Being pulled out of normal classes so I could go at my own pace and have support in doing it was wonderful. I would have been outrageously depressed and bored without it. GPs support students who, even if neurotypical, are still not suited for a normed setting

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

A phrenological approach would be more effective in the sense that it's a physical method. Any LLM, modally, cannot "drive" clinical research much in the same way an auto mechanic can't fix an engine over a zoom call. What rubbish.

OpenAI’s Sora 2 Copyright Infringement Machine Features Nazi SpongeBobs and Criminal Pikachus The main use of Sora appears to generate brainrot of major beloved copyrighted characters, to say nothing of the millions of articles, images, and videos OpenAI has scraped.

The Sora thing is so bleak and shows how far we've come from AI companies pretending they did not train on copyrighted material

Hey JD Vance.👋 You need to understand something. Physicians are never going to refuse emergency care to someone in an Emergency Department. No matter what you say behind that big boy podium.

We’re not like you.

We wake up every day to help people.

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

"Multiple Federal Agencies Broadcast Partisan Political Notices Regarding Gov. Shutdown in Clear Violation of Federal Law"

It IS against the law. STOP with these ridiculous headlines.

Run that, cite the something something Hatch Act something as much as you like but FIX THE HEADLINE.

Abetting!

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

This is all so stupid.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA,

Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT

Let me know if you need any help with this

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Friendly PSA that the majority leader of the Senate can amend the Senate rules any morning during opening of the Senate's legislative day to permit majority voting on budget bills that cannot ordinarily be approved by reconciliation.

Also, that this is needed is *proof* the house bill isn't clean.

Strongly worded letter from Chuck Schumer, I s'pose.

Well after all, what's a "Hatch Act" anyways?
