Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Leon Black paid Epstein $158 million. His wife's checks went to Susan Collins and Dan Sullivan, both on the ballot in 34 days. We asked six offices about the money. One called back, to give us a different number.

I may be a little bitter having wasted my life studying this security bullshit only to have the man with less than half my IQ running the whole joint call me a slur. That’s not arrogance talking. You don’t need a particularly impressive IQ to run laps around Heggy.

Hey look! Let’s shit on democrats for *checks notes* doing the right thing.

The party-line vote was 53 to 47. While the bill adds more constraints on
lawmaker stock trading than what exists under the current law, all Democrats opposed it, saying it did not go far enough to outright end the practice. Democrats also disapproved of the Republican decision to attach changes to voter ID requirements to the legislation.

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

To speed up mass deportations, the Trump administration didn't just launch raids—it stripped $200M+ from nonprofit legal aid groups, bringing them to the brink of collapse. Here’s how immigrant legal defense barely survived the campaign to kneecap them:

First Trump came for immigrants. Then he came for their lawyers.

How legal aid groups survived the administration's attacks—barely.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

still haven’t quite figured out what reform would prevent a future congress from being a rubber stamp for a deranged president, but maybe we could start with enlarging it to 1500. that’s a lot more cats to heard. next maybe do multi member proportional representation to get more parties in congress.

Having actually listened to this, I hate it more than I thought I would. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, the first position described in the Constitution, is surrendering his Constitutional responsibilities first to Tech Bros, and second to the President. What a simp.

While simp is not the four-letter word I usually use to describe Mike Johnson, the worst Speaker of the House in American history, it works cromulently.
