Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

May the gods help us all.

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

and if you *are* a ghoul, faking decency is the price of admission into polite society. seethe about it on your own time

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50. In Oklahoma, a 61-year-old woman questioned whether driving to a food pantry was worth the gas money. And in Colorado, a woman grabbed food from a Walmart dumpster.

Richest nation in human history

Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

"We're not just talking about a sandwich," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael C. DiLorenzo said. "This isn't about a sandwich."

Morgan Freeman voiceover: It was, in fact, about a sandwich.

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

I need someone to tell me that this is not real

That the most important building in America has not been turned into a sleazy 80s AC casino

Clearly they didn't brief MTG on the fact that Republicans' health care plan is actually "be rich, or die quickly"

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template

I just think it’s cool when someone who isn’t an elderly racist wins

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Trump, holding the GOP in front of him as a shield from the bullets

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

A diagram called "Scale of Some Emotions With Different Energies". There is a stack of sine waves with increasing wavelength (high frequency at the top, low frequency at the bottom), stacked atop each other and taking the bulk of the diagram. Along each side, there are words characterizing the various sine waves. The right side associates specific feelings with each sine wave. Along the left from high to low frequency: Elevated Emotions, Faster Frequency, Greater Energy (at top), and Slower Frequency, Greater Density/Matter, and Survival Emotions (at bottom). Along the right side from high to low frequency: Bliss, Freedom, Love, Joy, Appreciation, Gratitude, Will, Power, Control, Anger, Fear, Guilt, Shame, Suffering, Victimization, Pain, Lust

Raspberry Pis would get a lot more interesting if you could induce selected emotions with specific EM frequencies. Hook it up to a MIDI keyboard and you could become an unholy terror at parties

I saw an ad for a stripping contest for moms on SNAP today. I thought it was a parody, except that there was a phone number and an address, and a website at the bottom.

The demons are truly loose.

If anyone is confused about what toxic masculinity looks like, that kind of event is a prime example.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

If someone gave me billions of dollars, I'm fairly sure I would remember them.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)
