BREAKING: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese proposed tougher national gun laws after a mass shooting on Sydney's Bondi Beach left at least 15 people dead.

This is a prime example of media bias towards the GOP. Basically took some kid who sucks grievance and failed to look at other reasons why he could be struggling. Big issue in America today is not holding GOP folks accountable for their own choices

Sorry, I should have said he dropped out two years ago. Still, tech is a highly competitive field and I don't see why anyone should expect companies to hire them for technical jobs if they only completed one year of college (possibly with no real technical training).

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

ON XAI IN MEMPHIS: “There’s a horrible, sulfurous smell in the air… residents don’t want to open their windows… BOXTOWN is 90% Black… Musk did everything behind closed doors… environmental racism… not many jobs, no direct investment in BOXTOWN…”

Really enjoy the people in the comments who don’t realize people in fact do switch their votes like what happened in 2024 and then in 2025 and that in a red leaning state you do in fact need to win over some Republicans

Any Democrat who lacks the will to tear down the Arc de Trump-Umph on day 1 does not deserve the presidency

After NYS Young Republicans club was disbanded for praising Hitler, the NYC Young Republican club chapter is rolling out the red carpet for leaders of Germany’s Nazi-cosplaying AfD party. I condemn it in the strongest of terms, as should my New York GOP colleagues. The AfD is not welcome in NY-10.

Seattle’s newly elected city attorney, Erika Evans, defeated Republican incumbent, Ann Davison, last month. Evans says she will prioritize housing and addiction treatment to those who end up perennially caught up in Seattle’s criminal legal system.

We live in a simulation.

This is on the front page of newspapers around the world. In the US, you'll struggle to find anyone who observes what is happening.

Hahahahaha it's sincere!!

okay the WaPo editorial board has been an abject disaster since it was Bezosified but a literal “are we the baddies” letter is a fantastic bit, full marks for this one

they should make these temporary curb extensions permanent

I agree Dems should run on nothing, that way nobody is disappointed

Thank god Republicans are trying to repeal it! 🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸

for whatever reason, the victims of traffic violence never factor into the calculation. no urgency there. but do something that might affect a suburban lawyer who had a few drinks and then it becomes an “equity” issue

the greatest threat to American security personnel is Laura Loomer. what a freaking world

all respect, what should be done about people who rack up speeding infractions and DUIs? i do not want to throw them in prison. i do want to limit their ability to do harm. and there seems to be almost no concern for the fact that speeding or driving under the influence is not a victimless crime.

If you're willing to put up with food deserts and no pharmacy or hospital for 20-30 miles, then yeah, property prices are cheap in the midwest and south
