If you hype the bullshit little things enough, you can almost ignore the failing economy and government.

It's called whatever we decided to call it, collectively.

Why is it pixelated in real life?

Why is it legal to bypass regulations by changing the definition of what you're doing?

What reasoning is behind the 10% of Democrats, 14% of independents, 17% of Republicans, and 18% of MAGA Republicans who DON'T want them released?

I'm really curious. Maybe they just don't know what the question is about?

Alex Jones: "First, they turned the frogs gay. Now, the frogs are invading our universities with their Amphibian Gay Agenda."

He said what they wanted to hear, and they were willing to believe it.

If the NRA wants something, it's because the companies that manufacture the stuff they lobby for think it's a good idea.

They're pandering to one section of their support base, throwing them a piece of candied squirrel to keep them happy.

Frankly, I assumed that has been happening all alone.

Well that isn't dystopian AT ALL.

/sarcasm meter overload

Yeah, it's more on me, my mind was in politics mode at the time.

For my first read of this, I thought it was political commentary on the effectiveness of politicians.

It seems like they are desperate to try and get all this cutting done before people find out what they are doing.

Because they know the people will not approve.

What the hell kind of representatives are these?

It's part of why they were/are so excited by AI, they want to give more jobs to someone/something cheaper.

If everyone gets their press passes taken away, who is the Trump administration going to lie to?

I would say there's a good chance it only adds the ability for Trump to claim he accomplished something, in a few weeks or months.

Why do I have the feeling that "working on it", in this case, means they assigned a completely untrained new employee to work from home on it, while broadly hinting that they should take as long as possible.

Oh, and the new hire is the offspring of one of their friends.

Just incidentally.

He'll still claim victory for doing a thing that didn't need done, when he finds out.

Assuming that wasn't the point.

I'm not a lawyer, but does the President have the power to do that?
Also, how are they enforcing this requirement?

I suspect they don't actually exist.

Did...did they really frame a screenshot of Trump's merch store page?

Health insurers rally after government lays out better-than-expected Medicare Advantage raise Shares of major health insurers jumped early Tuesday after the federal government announced a better-than-expected, 2026 payment increase for Medicare Advantage plans.

I've heard that though they are planning to cut Medicaid, they are NOT cutting Medicare Advantage, which from what I have heard, deserves to be utterly eliminated or drastically altered to prevent abuse of it by health care companies.

In fact, they are expanding it?

*A week later*

"White House unable to actually stop Hegseth from sending secure information via unsecure means, get sued for not stopping him when texted 'STOP'."

The effort to overwhelm us with a flood of chaos continues.

Maybe they're actively making a point of stomping on the eggshells now, that seems on point for this fuckery.

I wonder if it seems to take less time, if you are an agent of it.

Stock buybacks seem almost entirely used for a wealth transfer to those already wealthy.

They do not benefit anyone else, or the company itself, in any significant way.

Please correct me if I am wrong on this.

I expect to see "let them eat tofu" memes in the near future.

If it is, we have to revive it, or build a new one.
