I'm not in any way justifying or excusing the genocide committed by Netanyahu and Israeli Government. But this statement is as tone-deaf as if one was talking about the "Day of Infamy" and spent one sentence on Pearl Harbor and two paragraphs on Hiroshima. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

MAGAzi influencers who got mad at the fact that Black people are allowed to exist and have jobs (because DEI) are pissed at GOP ad showing a white man as "poor and lazy," claiming "anti-white racism." Is "mental gymnastics" an Olympic sport yet? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

TEXT: More than 60 percent of the roughly 218,000 Medicaid expansion enrollees in the state reported that they are white, 18 percent reported that they are Black and 16 percent did not report their ethnicity. More than three-quarters of them are between 18 and 49 years of age. Women make up 54 percent of the program’s beneficiaries, according to the data.

In a social media post, Sean Davis, the co-founder of The Federalist, a conservative online magazine, said, “Our government has systematically discriminated against white men for decades now, and yet now has the audacity to dishonestly mock young white men as welfare queens.”

The actual questions about AI show that people are mostly against data centers for AI. So they apparently don't know which party is more for or against them.

this is a useless article. Saying people "trust the GOP to handle AI" tells us nothing about what people actually want our government to do about AI, or what they think is different about the GOP vs Dems on this. They only mention Trump being "all-gas" and Dems being "all-over" and GOP "nuanced" #BS

These days, I think US Military and Police are more fascist than socialist. Still government run, but linked with corporatism and primarily for the benefit of the preferred class. The fact that it also occasionally benefits the common people is a side-effect.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

Ms. Dominguez’s New Jersey court case was closed on August 11, 2026, after the Department of Labor determined that Ms. Dominguez’s rape constituted a workplace injury for which workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy. In reaching that determination, the Department of Labor had to conclude that being raped was “in the performance of her job duties” and therefore qualifies as workers’ compensation.

His justification is that 1A only binds Congress from regulating religion, not the states. Clearly, this is a dude who never read past 2A, or he would know that 14A specifies "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."

clarification: the process in 2024 wasn't the problem. Harris had a huge following, huge support from both establishment and the people. Her rallies were bigger than Trump's. The problem was, more likely than not, actual election tampering by Musk and others. Dems didn't secure the ballots.

And most ridiculous opinion goes to Justice Beer-Me for deciding that the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 somehow carries more weight than the Constitution of the USA, even though it uses the same words.

text from section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 that states that "a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a citizen at birth.

text from the 14th Amendment to the USA Constitution that states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
