I think the gerrymandering race to the bottom is genuinely bad and undemocratic and unfortunately what the dems are doing is the least bad of the bad options available.

Very neato burrito

So, not really different than agreeing to defend Ukraine against russia if they gave up nukes and ignoring that agreement?

Rep. Mace introduces bill to extend tax break for American-made recreational boats U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace recently introduced legislation that would allow taxpayers to deduct interest paid on loans for certain American-made recreational boats, e

Correct: katv.com/news/nation-...

Since it's the hip thing to do now i propose a tax deduction for anything that can be classified as recreational.

JD: I'm going to try to convince Iran to sign our proposal

DM: OK. Roll for Negotiation.

JD: What?

DM: Negotiation.

JD: I don't have that as a skill

DM: OK, just use your charisma score modifier.

JD: Oh. Shit.

FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.

New from 404 Media: the FBI was able to extract incoming Signal messages from a phone even though the app was deleted. Why? Because parts of messages were stored in the iPhone's internal notification database. Shows how secure chat data can come from unexpected places www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...

Congress is out of session right now. How would Democrats put something on the floor?

When you think about how the media covered Biden’s mental acuity and then see this, you really see how horrible things are and have been and will continue to be.

If I were a senator or congressperson, I would not be on social media right now. Actually, I would be on social media. I would be live in an airport or on a train while on my way back to the Capitol to hold a sit-in with as many colleagues and camera crews as possible over this ****.

Operation Meetinghouse comes to mind as well

The White House has removed this video from their social media channels.

But not before we could post it.

I don't understand how this could have surprised the researchers. It seems fairly obvious.

Artemis II mission is about to fly humans to the Moon — here’s the science they’ll do Set to lift off this week, the NASA flight will take astronauts around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

Like many science journalists this week, I'll covering the #ArtemisII mission for @nature.com. Our first story is now up! We explore the science that the astronauts will do on their flight — and how this advances beyond the Apollo era. 🧪🔭

Why is this unflattering? Is it because she's not the most interesting turkey in the photo?

Reasonable and necessary measures even if it is probably too late to fix things. Damage mitigation is still worthwhile though.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

People are asking whether it's moral to delete large amounts of content from the internet. A retort was - is it moral to lose the information space?

We are experiencing an extremely rare maintenance issue at BUILDING REDACTED. Basically, the building thermostat is not working properly. It is set to 216 degrees F. To give everyone an idea of how hot it is, the cold water in the kitchen lounge on the second floor is hot to the touch and the metal door hardware is hot to the touch as well.

Holy shit y’all I just got an email I’d like to nominate for the "Wildest All-Faculty Email" Hall of Fame

Why I, Lucifer, Rejected a Deal for Donald Trump’s Soul I’ve made contracts with every sort of lowlife. I’ve been to the crossroads. I’ve been down to Georgia. I’ve signed agreements with legions of lawy...

"By the way, there’s an easy tell if I’ve got the pink slip to someone’s soul: if suddenly they get something that makes no sense. Like Indiana winning the national football championship or Kash Patel getting a law-enforcement job."

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

Him finding a spine to stand up to the president presumes he disagrees with this move in some way. He doesn't. He got the job BECAUSE he wants to do this.

"miscalculated" assumes they actually calculated to begin with. I've seen no indication that happened.

Let's accept his premise as true. "People" are demanding sharia law be implemented.

Will the congress and president pass it into law? Would it even get a single vote?

No? The (non)problem is solved! And all because members of congress have agency.

Mike and the entire gop can take a seat.

I think you misunderstand. He knows there is no demand to impose sharia law, but "people" feel like there is. So it must be addressed, but, please, ignore that fact that ogles and the rest of the gop and their punditry are the ones working overtime to argue that sharia is coming to america.

ICE training was slashed, records show, corroborating whistleblower claims Previously unreported records also offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program. Concerns about the quality of ICE agents’ training have mounted for months.

ICE just got caught in another lie.

ICE cut over 40% of its training program, slashed half of all firearms instruction, and eliminated ALL evaluation of agents’ grasp of skills specific to immigration enforcement and deportation operations.

I mean...should we be surprised? Members of the administration have already started calling it a holy war. 🤷‍♂️
