The NYT keeps showing us who they are.

HEY GANG: The country is lost. It cannot be recovered. There isn’t a way for any future administration to undo what’s being done. It takes one sentence to destroy an agency and 25 years to build one. Recovery is off the table. We could have something better. But it won’t come through votes.

Perfect headline:

I will block you if you do this I think.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

The Trump administration will come as close as possible to saying “we are going to kill you” and people are like don’t be ridiculous. Killing is illegal

Bernie Sanders treats his lifelong role in gov’t like he’s leading a [liberal, white] Political Theory 101 clinic. Dude’s decades-old stump speech is wholly detached from our system’s realities. Worse, he ignores racism—even though dismantling it would ACTUALLY achieve the goals he claims to seek.

Man what a fucking headline

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

we had to stop trump from being elected but that still happened not once but twice.

It’s actually OK to shit all over Gerry Connolly… His legacy is one of Fucking the American people straight into the arms of Donald Trump.

"Hurrr hurrr Elon's hair plugs are an example of 'gender-affirming care,' so is that going to get banned? Hurr hurr" I'm so sick of these dopes with their dumbass "gotchas."

remember when Democrats refused to blow up the filibuster 4 years ago because they didn't want to hand power to Republicans with no filibuster in place. So about that.

gonna start blocking everyone using the word ageism. Old age is a privilege, a lot of people don't make it that far. Old people have a responsibility to future generations to step aside and let the young decide our future. I say that as someone who has more years behind them than ahead.

The vote was 215-214 with the 3 notable missing votes because Dems died in office. If you are one of those people scolding those of us who say it's time for old ass reps to retire, know you're part of the reason all these Americans got fucked.

BREAKING: By an evenly divided vote, the Supreme Court affirms an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision blocking the creation of a Catholic charter school. Barrett recused, allowing for the deadlock. We don't know which conservative joined the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

and they will know we are christians cause we're asshole republicans.

Our disgraceful president lectured the president of South Africa, who had lived through apartheid and helped negotiate its end, on the racist lie of a totally fake white ‘genocide’ in SA, and then showed a lying video as ‘proof’. In the Oval Office. Representing all of us.

he was the worst part of scrubs. it was annoying enough to see a guy in his 30s objectivize women and be completely selfish and the worst friend ever, it'll be even worse in his 50s.

why do i waste my time reading depressing news that the average american won't ever give a shit about or change their mind about going out to vote, or stop voting for people who want them dead? it's not like by me knowing how the world will end will stop it from ending.

So glad we got rid of all those DEI hires who knew what they were doing and replaced them with Elon's boy toys.

We’ve lived through over a decade of "about to","might soon", & "maybe this time". Trump about to face justice! Republicans about to pay a price! Democracy about to be saved! Just a steady IV drip of false catharsis, just enough to keep us working/hoping. newrepublic.com/article/1956...

Passage of Trump’s cruel multi-trillion tax and spending bill depended on intrasession Democratic deaths.

Oh good im gen x, i get a pass
