Example ~1,005 that the law protects, but does not bind conservatives.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States

I too believe we should let Grandpa keep the car keys so he can drive himself to Newark where he shall continue to serve as an air traffic controller.

Back to work I guess...

With a 215-214 margin, the three Dem-won seats with vacancies loom large.

Just throwing it out there, federal law dictates where to deport someone. Trump is not "deporting people" he is human trafficking them.

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

Keeping BlueSky useable one moderation setting at a time.

"Politics, government, and public policy are just games for me, and I play to win. So, when I throw out a whataboutism here and a 'both sides' there, I’m just tossing curve balls to strike out the libs who get so mad they start yelling."

I am not a tech reporter anymore but I think it would be a public service if someone wrote an article explaining that chat bots are not “snitching” on themselves they are just doing what they do which is produce words that sound plausibly true but might not be

Chief Justice John Roberts: "In recent years, we've been able to move expeditiously [to resolve pressing matters]." Me: STARES IN TRUMP V. UNITED STATES

of all the terrible advice, this is the terriblest

I keep saying it but Trump v Anderson is going to be a top 5 anti-canon one day. I know no one agrees, I don’t care.

Three conservatives think the appropriate use of congressional resources right now is a debt commission. Very centrist. Treating these Republicans’ attempt at rebranding with credulity is irresponsible, optional, and completely unnecessary.

Hilarious on so many levels that the Trump White House doesn’t understand what the Library of Congress is or what the Librarian of Congress does.

Haven't watched andor season 2 yet but I swear to god if every single political opinion I have isn't fully validated I'm done with watching anything ever again. I would rather starve

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

vatican announces new pope:

HABEMUS EUROPA UNIVERSALIS!

I feel really stupid asking again

HUGE disability news: Georgia has become just the latest state to eliminate subminimum wage labor for people with disabilities. Governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed the bill sponsored by a bipartisan group of legislators. #GAPol www.wjcl.com/article/geor...

Linda McMahon may have signed this, but I guarantee you she didn’t write it, and probably didn’t even read it. Any decent reporter should ask her a simple question about it, and see what she says. She is in charge of nothing- all of the attack on higher education is being driven by the White House.

He fired thousands of civil rights attorneys from ED OCR in one stroke of a pen. He erased hundreds of years worth of institutional knowledge. We need to unfuck the government he builds and future-proof against another petty tyrant. The current guardrails clearly aren't good enough.

At the risk of this being seen positively, Trump Take Newark

how are we supposed to believe this guy is an expert in friendship when he clearly doesn’t have any friends close enough to tell him that he looks like life coach for sex offenders

It's my biggest video yet: A 4,000 year-long 100-minute narrative about how real-life political history has shaped the underlying basic mechanisms of an entire genre of games we take for granted today. Kriegsspiel: How Napoleon Accidentally Invented Strategy Games www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Am...

Mohsen was just released by the federal judge in VT!!

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer* i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

My Nest borked itself one month after the warranty period and the resulting support interaction led me to swear off Google purchases for good. Can't say I'm missing anything.

We Now Know How AI ‘Thinks’—and It’s Barely Thinking at All Maybe you've heard that AIs are "black boxes" But a growing body of research keeps arriving at the same conclusion: Today's AIs all work in surprisingly similar -- and simplistic -- ways 1/2 www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...

I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

There aren’t 200 other countries.
