Ah. A theory that famously has worked out well.

The Senate is such a democratic disaster. We could get to 2/3 of Americans favoring impeachment and removal, but over 1/3 of the states (esp those with less people than just ... Brooklyn) are deep red. So frustrating.

it's cool that this is literally just 100% Trump's fault

Automatic zero stars.

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia voters approve new US House districts that could aid Democrats in midterm elections.

The minute I heard the family was involved with the production, I knew this would be the result.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

"changes to SNAP are happening alongside cuts to Medicaid. It leads to what Allen calls a “terrible synergistic effect” of people’s food being taken away and people getting sick because of it while health care is stripped away." Eligibility unchanged: its all policy change via administrative burdens

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs. 1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary. 2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business. 3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$. 4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds. 5) Consumers will get squat.

"The latest report found that since 2022 lawmakers in at least 17 states have introduced bills designed to make gig nursing platforms exempt from the regulations applied to other healthcare staffing agencies." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Arsenal losing the title and Tottenham getting relegated would make this possibly the funniest season of all time

Would be so funny if the Premier League choose this week to hand down City’s penalty for the 112 charges. Though at this point wondering if they’ll ever do it.

6 - Liverpool have now scored six 90th-minute winners against Everton in the Premier League - the most one side has against a single opponent in the competition's history. Bragging.

And what a perfect ball in from Dom. Fucking love it.

Fantastic book.

Really don’t get why Slot not making more subs, esp since we don’t have a midweek match.

Second game running in which a Liverpool player gets stretchered off, fml.

So it’s rugby rules for Everton and football rules for us?

We finally got one. Kavanaugh needs to call one on Everton just enough to keep his job. 🤣

Liverpool have about 60% possession and have been called for six fouls already. Everton hasn’t been called for any fouls. As usual, playing against 12 men today. 🙄

As it's the weekend, let's take a moment to enjoy and celebrate what for the entire country is an unalloyed good-news story!

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.
