must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

3 pillars of American prosperity have been the rule of law, scientific innovation & immigration. This fascist is determined to crush all 3: —Ignoring court orders & trashing judges —Blocking non-U.S. university students —Eliminating science funding Let’s stop him from ending American greatness.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

John Thornton, a founder of The Texas Tribune and one of the most vital and influential leaders in nonprofit journalism, died on Saturday. His passing is an immeasurable loss for our staff, our board and our supporters and readers, past and present.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Schumer is a disgrace

hey @texastribune.org the lookup site seems to be broken on safari on iOS www.texastribune.org/directory

The new forecast from the Atlanta Fed now projects that the U.S. economy will *shrink* by 1.5% in Q1 2025. The previous estimate had been that the economy would *grow* by 2.3%. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Can’t help but wonder how much damage musk + Big Tech leadership have done to the idea of Silicon Valley as a beacon of hope and progressivism that attracted the very best talents from across the planet.

all modern society is built around preventing anyone from ever feeling uncomfortable for even one second, and unfortunately that small moment of crisis is the place where all innovation happens

The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Trying to think of a proper response to Trump’s Trade War but figured my Canadian friends could say it best. Much love to Canada & Mexico.🙏

Waiting for someone to write up on how Salesforce completely bungled the heroku acquisition.

Its infrastructure week all over again

Gonna focus on this instead of the other thing

The narrative from Gavin Newsom needs to be, point blank: California is not asking the country to bail it out. California, which is the greatest contributor in federal tax dollars and greatest subsidizer of the nation is asking for it's money back. Otherwise, Californians shouldn't pay federal tax.

the jd vance couch-fucking story and “weird” were the only times in recent memory the Left seemed to understand the information environment we currently live in. if we could stop obsessing over “disinfo” and simply adapt we might at least have a shot at throwing sand in the gears in the years ahead.

want some kind of dynamic blacklist the blocks anyone that replies frequently to posts that are clearly intended for a niche audience with “am I supposed to know what/who this is now?”.

huh, noticing that my motivation for continuing with factorio has dropped now that winter break is over and Im back to day job (programming). Theres a lesson there maybe.

playing dwarf fortress. Immediately mined through a water wall and flooded my nascent base. My poor dwarfs :(

It’s worth remembering that the CFPB didn’t appear out of thin air. Shady lenders were tricking and trapping people with mortgages that crashed our economy and cost millions of people their homes. I had an idea to fight back—the CFPB—and it was clearly necessary.

RIP Manmohan Singh 😢🫡

Completed frostpunk 2 story mode. 100% recommend.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.
