Why did they bother? And arenโ€™t they all paid well enough to look happy?

I just don't understand why D leadership is dead set against impeachment. he's shredding the constitution! his approval is in the toilet! impeachment investigations generally cause presidential approval to fall even more. like, what are they afraid of?

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while Iโ€™m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

Maybe the EU should give itself an AKA and the UK could vote on joining under that name to save face lol

And Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น benefits SO much from EU $, Poland EU tradeโ€ฆ and they all see Britainโ€™s regrets โ€” lol the folks who pushed Brexit to win are now dead so if the UK ever had the stones to run a vote to rejoin the EU again, many surveys show it would pass

In fact, because 30% approx of Austriaโ€™s residents are not citizens (Austria mostly doesnโ€™t allow dual) & thus may not vote in Federal Elections, this huge % โ€” and that this is a big % of working age voters โ€” now becoming an issue in natl political discussion re: voting, citizenship, etc.

When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Austriaโ€™s economy is powered by its residents from the EU โ€” a huge % of its workforce โ€” so yeah nah fam โ€” whoever wrote that is not v knowledgeable about Austria.

I also liked that Tietma Rockets ๐Ÿš€ kit and some of the French Conti team kits.

I did not like last yearโ€™s kit and I like this one less.

My fave menโ€™s kits of recent past teams were Bahrain pre-pearl kit era, Sky ocean charity kit, Bora aqua blue focused kit and the Picnic Post NL kit.

i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

This presser made me sad. I had hoped to see Primoz do Giro & Vuelta with Julio P. Pfft that Jai is there. I figured theyโ€™d do FL & RE to TDF (tho I think thatโ€™s not great) โ€” surprised that heโ€™s not doing RVV. Feel like they are not doing as much w Primoz as they could. Think RE quite overrated.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

Lawmakers seek to expand New York Power Authority board The proposal to expand the board was originally included in the 2023 Build Public Renewables Act but stripped out during budget negotiations.

The Public Power Democracy Act would increase the number of NYPA trustees from 7 to 17.

Assembly Member Sarahana Shrestha:

โ€œTo truly unleash the power of this publicly owned energy, of public power, we do need our public authorities to also be democratic and accountable and transparent...โ€

White House Scraps Cash Payments for Delayed or Canceled Flights

Remember, as Sean Duffy keeps telling us his ideas for air travel -- dress up nice for your flight! do a little workout before you get on too! -- this is an actual Good Thing We Wanted that Democrats secured for us before these assholes took it away

The man suspended enforcement of the foreign corrupt practices act for gods sake. What possible reason could you have for doing that if not โ€œdoing corruptionโ€?

The fact that SCOTUS is going to tell us who's an American and who's not is THE REASON why the Democrats must stop playing around. It's time to defend immigration as a universal good and in terms of liberty and justice for all.

Accepting rightwing lies as if they're true is how we got here.

I'm really fascinated with the mainstream political reporter stance that the U.S. isn't grotesquely corrupt and our regulators haven't been utterly eviscerated by that corruption

they're like the band on the titanic

What is amazing to me is that they lack the self-awareness to reconsider the project even as evidence of its impact piles up around them. It is as if, looking over the federal government, the Justices are saying: "Yes, we want *more* unhinged policy that will send the nation into recession or war."

The end result is that regulation is unconstitutional - agencies are allowed to enforce/implement the programs Congress devises but they can't make policy decisions. The safe level of trichloroethylene in indoor air must be set by legislation.
