Giving everyone homes is pretty much the only way to solve homelessness that doesn't end in an authoritarian takeover of a city

There is a fortune to be made for the first car company to bring an electric EV to market in the US

despite the crying from republicans and trump, manufacturers understand ICE is an obsolete technology and the choice is to adapt by making EVs or die by being outcompeted by foreign EV makers

Are the exams only for classes you haven't been to all term?

Thank goodness we’ve got our finest minds working on important questions like how can we make cops dumber?

right, i want dem super majorities but ones that elect like, jasmine crockett to speaker. doesn’t even have to be a lefty! gimme idk von hollen majority leader. we need to jettison these savvy do nothing losers who control leadership and unfortunately lots of the caucus supports them

if we took every penny every billionaire has, trump's campaign would've been starved for funding, media wouldn't be owned by right wing billionaires, kamala harris would be president right now and thus there wouldn't have been a $4T hole punched in the debt to extend Trump's tax cut

back in january he was vocally supporting the “keep your heads down and dont obstruct” legislative strategy and now that it has absolutely blown up in their faces he’s claiming actually people don’t want dems to fight, they want them to pass kitchen table bills. fuck that guy.

young grads and teenagers are the canary in the coal mine for a boss-friendly labor market. the bosses bought trump into the presidency and are being rewarded with a cratering labor market

You are entitled to a child free life but you are not entitled to a child free world and if every time a child eats some chicken nuggets in your line of sight you have a meltdown? You are clinical, get help

referring to children as 'fuck trophies' is deeply deeply evil. i don't just mean rude or unsavoury, genuinely evil. kelsey. @m4rvelgirl Follow I'm sorry this offends you and your fuck trophies, but there really needs to be more child free restaurants and bars.

Do these people think children should just be kept in fucking kennels til they deem them cool enough to exist in public?

By the end of the meeting, Dexter was ready to vote for Crockett. But she would never get the chance. Five days after Crockett's fundraiser in Atlanta, Punchbowl News reported that she had "leaned into the idea of impeaching President Donald Trump, which spooked swing-district members. Representative Robert Garcia of California was quickly becoming the caucus favorite. Like Crockett, he was relatively young and outspoken. But he had spent his campaign making a "subtle" case for generational change, Punchbowl said, and he'd told members that the Oversight panel shouldn't "function solely as an anti-Trump entity

published, O< Democratic leaders met to decide which of the four Oversight candidates they'd recommend to the caucus. The vote was decisive: Garcia, with 33 votes, was the winner. Crockett placed last, with only six. Around midnight, she went live on Instagram to announce that she was withdrawing her name from the race; Garcia woul be elected the next morning. In the end, "recent questions about something that just wasn't true" had tanked her support, Crockett told her Instagram viewers. She hadn' campaigned on impeaching Trump she told me later; she'd simply told a reporter that, if Democrats held a majority in the House, she would support an impeachment inquiry. And why not? She was just being transparent, Crockett told

House Democratic leaders are DEATHLY afraid of impeachment. This piece says it clearly.

D leaders are afraid because they have no courage. They don’t think they can persuade the country that a fascist president should be removed. So they hide from any risk and merely embrace the status quo.

just a reminder again that we were told over and over that a 13 year old downloading a Limp Bizkit mp3 was an existential threat to society

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

(15 in Manhattan btw)

it never fails to gall me that Americans who believe that foreign nationals crossing the border illegally to work jobs US citizens will not take is the greatest violation of national sovereignty in human history also want Ukraine to just cede 25% of its landmass to an actual invading army

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

30 year mortgages functioning as a form of rent control / rent stabilization for the middle class is also why the federal government backstops the mortgage market and likely always will.

I once read somewhere that one of the biggest reasons 30 year mortgages are so prevalent in the US is that they are basically a form of rent control/ rent stabilization for the middle class and I think this is absolutely true.

one of the most frustrating parts of being alive right now is seeing Democrats being repeatedly handed messaging that would be extremely easy to springboard off and then fumbling it completely every time

"Executive" is not a real job

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here

Watergate kicked off a multi-decade project by the right wing to insulate Republican leaders from accountability.

In my case, this would only lead to more silence as I took, at minimum, 15-20 minutes to reflect and formulate my answer

Crypto bribed both major parties into making fake money a bigger part of our financial system. It will inevitably lead to a crisis at some point in which taxpayers have to bail out the fake money holders.

It will go down as one of the most foreseeable and unnecessary self-owns in our history.

Maybe it's all the leaded gasoline what made the Boomers so self-centered. Idk

Boomers are truly the most self-centered generation. And I'm not even blaming them or saying it's all their fault (someone raised them). But "Boomers are abnormally self-centered" is a theory the way gravity is a theory

A stereotype about baby boomers that is absolutely fair is how much they talk about themselves. I spent a lot of time around my maternal and paternal grandparents growing up and, as I remember, they never talked about themselves a fraction as much as my parents do.

The number of people endangered by the selfish stupidity of refusing vaccinations is absurd. Babies aren't eligible for measles vaccination until they're 6-12 months old and spreading measles presents a mortal danger to them
