Politics is whether we should raise taxes to pay for the creation of a public transit system or whether money should go to pay for more libraries or tax refunds. Politics is not debating whether other humans deserve to live without being terrorized or whether federal agents can abduct you.

Do you think the fetal personhood goobs are also gonna make the non-pregnant parent pay child support before birth, as well as help with prenatal care & medical expenses? I mean, if is a "person" the same as a child that's been born, seems like the same laws should apply.

the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

Congress normally has 45 legislative days to consider a president’s request to rescind funding. By submitting the request just days before the fiscal year ends, the administration argues the money can simply expire before Congress acts.

Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

I also wouldn't wear this without a jacket. The dress isn't the issue - it's the lack of a suit jacket that is. She'd have been fine with a jacket. I say this as someone who has unnatural colored hair 80% of the time, never tucks in my shirt, & wears open toed shoes in court. STILL need a jacket.

Now that my weight loss has slowed down, I can sew myself clothes again. Since I don't have a winter jacket that fits anymore, I'm going to make this. I made it once before about 10 years ago but it is too big so I'm gonna make a new one.

I am an exception bc i have an absurd amount of hair and once I found a stylist who was like, "has anyone ever thinned your hair?" And then he did, it was a game changer. When it's thinned out, I don't go thru shampoo/conditioner as quickly & I don't need an hour to blow dry it.

Here’s the fundamental problem: 1. The rules of professional conduct (legal ethics rules) require an attorney to check and verify all legal research results output from AI 2. It takes longer to verify AI research than human research 3. Like, a LOT longer 4. And it’s getting worse not better
