This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

always funny when the Fuck Climate framing is right next to the fossil fuel ad but the AI hype is a nice bonus something something echo chamber

The thing about the FIFA is that usually these silly prizes are attempts to distract people from your morally dubious business practices, like manufacturing dynamite. Football is the most beloved athletic competition in history. FIFA really just amounts to a parasitic spectacle of corruption.

"Democratic voters have to force their candidates to embrace real, aggressive Supreme Court reform. That means not only coming up with a plan (including, most likely, term limits and court expansion) but being unrestrained in how they talk about these six villains who are destroying our democracy."

RICH PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEAVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE IF THEIR TAXES INCREASE FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT THEY CAN EASILY AFFORD IT

Idiocy. Bigotry. Cruelty.

the thing is, they've turned everything immigration-related to stephen miller, who has never run for office, has never held an elected position, and who could not win a popularity contest consisting solely of members of his own household. he is indifferent to the future of the republican party.

we will eventually have to come to terms with the fact that a significant majority of american (at least) christians believe in a religion of the paterfamilias and not of God, and that to be "countercultural" in that environment will not be going along with 95% of it but handing them a rosary

It is kinda wild how the president is evidently receiving some kind of regular medical care that requires IVs and we don't know what's up

Patel is a real throwback to the petty self-enrichment of a Scott Pruitt in Trump's first term, it's refreshing and quaint in a way

Birthright citizenship is a fundamental right of our Constitution, and it’s under attack by the Trump administration. Constitutional rights are not subject to the whims of a president.

you just can’t behave indefinitely as a partisan political body without eventually inviting partisan consequence, and in trying to will the kingdom of donald trump into existence, i think the court has picked a very poor hill to die on

the court is going to be reformed one way or another, conservatives on the court are making a very strong argument that they should not be consulted about those reforms

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

The Supreme Court's conservative justices are the most powerful Republican political strategists in the country

Couldn't even convince Kamala Harris that he wasn't a careerist hack

He lowered Pennsylvania’s flags for 3 days when Charlie Kirk died and for 0 days when Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.

Indiana state house Republicans just approved a new 9-0 gerrymandered map ousting two US House Democrats, giving Republicans 100% of seats in state where Trump got 58% of vote

This case is not cert-worthy. This is a bad sign.

I received an "F" on my dental school paper for writing "the tooth fairy takes 'em while you sleep" and now I'm suing the school for religious discrimination

What the fuck is there to review

Come to think of it, Pete Hegseth just admitted openly that they're committing extrajudicial murders in international waters partly in order to please MAGA influencers that want retribution for political attacks on Pete Hegseth:

A lot of actual vaccine policy is set by states, not the federal government. We -relied- on ACIP, but we don't have to rely on it. This is obviously bad, but it isn't "measles for everyone!"

2.) Insurance companies have said that they will continue to cover vaccines covered in the schedule in 1 - you will just need to be more active with your pediatrician to make sure that they're working with you. 3.) Blue states are not meaningfully changing vaccine requirements for schooling.

I do want to note three things that have happened in the wake of what ACIP is becoming to hopefully put some panicked nerves at ease. 1.) The American Association of Pediatrics is publishing their own schedule that matches the one before this goat rodeo.

however: this should still be available for newborns as per the previous schedule in much of the country if you live in a red state, check what they’re doing here with your pediatrician

Trying to imagine how I'd recoil if my local Ford dealership was posting like this on Twitter.

their goal is to kill children and every Republican senator who knew better and voted to confirm him anyway has that blood on their hands

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

So this kind of thing is genuinely extremely useful for building public support for court reform.

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery. John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

Wtf are we doing? "CNN partners with Kalshi to integrate prediction markets into its global newsroom. The first major news network to embrace Kalshi prediction markets."

The thing about these kind of results is that to be a committed Republican voter+Black or Hispanic you are also probably in the 80th or higher percentile of religiosity, specifically Evangelical, and these results are not as shocking within that context

“King County’s supply of condos in November outpaced buyer demand” This is how housing works, and is exactly why planners hold back housing supply, they believe they work for homeowners to infinitely grow equity www.seattletimes.com/business/rea...

I think for a subset of Anglos, the accusation of being racist is seen as more offensive than being racist itself

Rand Paul could have prevented Pete Hegseth from being confirmed as Defense Secretary. Instead, he voted for him — a manifestly unqualified candidate — to run the Defense Department. Now, we're here.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

I like how in the end the whole project of all the bizarre intellectual factions of the right was that boat dealership owners get to call their employees racial slurs and not obey any regulations or pay any taxes

blood thirsty maniac

Even if they were on a "drug mission," the first strike was illegal and the second strike even more wildly illegal. This is absolute nonsense from someone who committed war crimes and is now scrambling for cover. Lock him up.

look, the PC police don't want you to say this, but it's a culture problem. men just have bad values. they don't care about education, they want things handed to them instead of prioritizing hard work

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys
