it's even got Lowly Worm!

I'm done with all of them. They've lost the plot completely.

I was thinking about this directive which is- on the face of it- insane.

I think the purpose is to make it easier for radical Christian nationalists- a fair number of whom are antivax- to enlist.

This doesn’t take away all vaccine requirements, but it is a first step towards that goal.

Programming will require it soon. Productivity gains are 10x when used correctly.

Did it work? Who knows? Was it worth the gamble? We’ll see.

look, I didn’t vote for the guy and he can answer for his own decisions. But upon receiving the invite he had two choices- accept or decline. I believe he accepted in the hope (however small) of forming some kind of working relationship with the president, who has the power to immiserate New Yorkers

lol no they don’t. Not at all at the level of protests against Biden in 2024. And this administration started a war in the Middle East! The reason they protest Dems is because they want to take over or replace the party. Not because they’re afraid of crackdowns. Protesting Dems advances their goals

Celebrity/rizz. Trump respects that. (He respects little else.) Mamdani has it.

Mayor of Chicago didn’t get an invite to the White House. Mamdani did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Notice how they never protest this administration on Israel/Palestine. They only protest the Democrats. And Jewish Democrats like Schumer get extra protests against them. 🤔

Mamdani has to cultivate at least a neutral relationship with Trump given the power Trump has to seriously mess with the city.

Conciliatory in relative terms

“That’s not a… it’s a” followed by an em dash later in the sentence?

Either your comment is AI or you ought to consider not writing like AI.

Could they exit after next election during the lame duck session if democrats take the Senate?

Then IRGC uses the billions in one time payments plus ongoing Strait tolls (?) to prop up its standing with the Iranian people and increase funding for its proxies in Yemen and Lebanon. Brilliant.

This is exactly the wrong attitude. The winning candidate in Hungary is a conservative from Orban’s party who split. It’s as if George Conway was running as the D nominee here. Do you think he was the choice of the left in Hungary? But they were smart & unified around the pro democracy candidate.

Greens, as in, Jill Stein's party? Bring on the dirty tricks, then.

Yea sure they did

Also, the guy who beat Orban is no left-wing hero. He broke away from Orban's party! Nevertheless, he was apparently able to unify the opposition. Hopefully the US opposition won't self sabotage with another Uncommitted movement and will back the Democratic nominee.

Without a doubt

Is anyone cataloguing the rumors in a place that is accessible to, say, prospective Hill interns? My daughter was an intern- had a good experience with another Rep’s office- but it would’ve been useful to know who the rumored predators were before she put in her applications!

Have the pod bros weighed in?

Yes and with 25am you need all that and MORE

Just impeach, convict, remove. It’s easier than the 25th (which is not to say it’s easy or even possible given the composition of Congress rn)

My dentist explained why she took twice as long as normal to extract the molar - she wanted to preserve as much of the surrounding bone and tissue as possible. Cool. But had I known it was going to take THAT MUCH pushing and pulling, I wouldn’t have shown up sober.

Lebanon may want to crack down on Hezbollah, but they have not been very effective. LAF are far from holding a monopoly on the use of force. I'm not sure if Lebanon has tried overt or covert collaboration with Israel - I'm skeptical - but I hope direct talks happen and are productive.

Democrats should “Talk them into voting for impeachment”

lol

The only people with a chance of doing that- the only people with with any leverage at all- are THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS. You know, the people who voted for them.

If you’re one of those people, call them.

This is stupid. The bar to remove a president is HIGHER under the 25th amendment than impeachment and conviction. Murphy surely knows this.

Too many lies to bother refuting. Blocking instead.

In step toward civil marriage, Jerusalem court accepts ‘Zoom weddings’ from Utah In early 2020, Utah began issuing marriage licenses for ceremonies performed online, offering an easy alternative for Israelis who can't or won't marry through the rabbinate

The zoom option is affordable. Alternately, a lot of people get married in Cyprus. If you don’t like either option and you won’t go through the Rabbinate or equivalent Christian or Muslim authorities, you’re out of luck. www.timesofisrael.com/in-step-towa...
