If you're eligible to vote in the USA and didn't vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, you can kindly fuck right off. Here and IRL.
I'm honestly not sure if you were on fire if I'd urinate on you to put it out.
Thanks, and now you can continue with your scheduled program.

Hot Take: I think leaving Magneto as a Holocaust victim who is a very slowly aging mutant akin to Apocalypse is leagues better than changing his race, religion, and ethnicity or taking him off the table.

CALIFORNIA: If you google the propositions the top sponsored links are no on 40, yes on 41 and 42. Because billionaires have an inexhaustible fund to fight anything that might take an infinitesimal nibble out of their inexhaustible fund.

You would probably need:
- a hobbled Voting Rights Act
- a non-functioning FERC
- a personal DOJ that ignores voting rights (and is still seeking voter rolls)
- maybe an obedient Fed chair
- legal immunity from scotus

From the start of this month…when Massie correctly predicted that Mike Johnson would send them all home early (and Johnson said he was stupid).
He was right. And now Johnson’s shaved another day off and packed up even earlier.

I’m not sure I agree that case is precedent here.
What happened in Dallas wasn’t just "a candidate's offer of ideas to the voter[s]"—which is what would have happened had TRUMP been on the ballot and he promised a new $5,000 policy if HE won—but telling voters they’ll be paid for voting for OTHERS.

For all the reporters asking me if this is illegal vote buying, the Supreme Court has said slouch generalized campaign promises are First Amendment protected supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

This is an absolutely catastrophic data breach of an identity verification vendor 150+ million drivers license scans that includes photos, address, license numbers etc.
It includes Pete Hegseth, security researchers, and even the deputy director of the FBI.

There's something particularly sad about losing Peter Cullen. This is going to perhaps sound a bit silly, but there is a generation of fans for whom Optimus Prime is, essentially, Your Immortal Dad, and losing him is losing a colossal, beneficent figure of legend.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.
anytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse

The cult's weird insistence that Donald Trump is a skilled negotiator who makes great deals is beyond comical at this point.
Leave aside his long litany of business failures -- he's been getting his ass handed to him in trade deals and a massive war for more than a year.

Michigan Rep. Lisa McClain on Trump's trade war with Canada: "What President Trump is trying to do, and I applaud him for that, is level the playing field. There is absolutely no way that President Trump is going to the make a bad deal for the American people."
