The 118th Congress passed the fewest laws in decades 🚨 Every fiscal deadline led to brinksmanship between the Rep House & the Dem Senate & White House. House Republicans were also beset by infighting and palace intrigue, & the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. www.axios.com/2024/12/30/c...

"It's a very dark day for democracy in America if this is adopted," Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), the top Dem. on the House Administration Committee, told Axios. Morelle said he "can't imagine there is any precedent" for the rule, adding: "What's next? Allowing only Republicans to speak on the floor?"

House GOP has a nominal majority but not a functional governing majority to carry out its core Constitutional responsibilities. Metaphorically speaking, these assclowns can't wipe their own ass after taking a shit no matter who their Speaker is w/o Dem votes. Dems should not lift a finger to help.

it's just so fucking unserious to talk about dem kitchen table policy when we're reasonably likely to get both a speaker of the house crisis and a government shutdown crisis in the first three months of the new administration

Meta's great new idea, now that Facebook and Instagram are infected with AI slop, is to also let AI-generated characters made by users appear as actual accounts on the platforms. The last stage of "social" media is millions of bots giving each other thumbs-up reacts.

Yesterday, Costco rejected the anti-DEI proposal from a right wing group of shareholders. While other companies are rolling it back, Costco’s board will not. It’s important for us to support companies when they do the right thing, it will encourage them to keep going and doing the right thing.

Buying Greenland, Invading Mexico, Annexing canada is nothing more than a HUGE distraction from the fact that he knows all of his promises are going to be broken. If not already. SO it’s off to the next LIE to fool the base. See it for what it is

Social Security and Medicare are both managed by trust funds walled off from the rest of the federal budget. They contribute $0 to the deficit, $0 to the national debt. They are earned benefits we paid for, just like health insurance or pensions. When the GOP proposes "Cuts," it's proposing theft.

Paxton doxed the doctors home address in the lawsuit too. It's extremely clear his goal is to drive harassment her way. This is what anti abortion extremists have done in the past to successfully get providers murdered.
