Awesome. Taxes are high already, housing is hard to find and crazy expensive, cost of living is through the roof, and there aren't enough living wage jobs. Our legislators decided the solution is to squeeze working Oregonians even harder.

How is buying Raytheon months before Israel's strike unusual? Are there better buying/selling activities that would better indicate potential insider trading?
comment in response to post
Oh boy, a *rant*! That's exactly what we need instead of action. I sure am glad there's plenty of strongly-worded statements to go around.

Merely the excuse date chosen as the latest iteration of an idea he's been pushing for since 2017. Back then he has staff that were willing to tell him no.
comment in response to post
Spoken like somebody who knows he got his. With a $6.13 million net worth, he's got no reason to worry about cuts to the social safety net or losing access to healthcare. Tough luck to his constituents and struggling families in the rest of the country.

He's been pushing for this since 2017, the Army's birthday is merely the latest justification in a series of attempts. Why are you so desperately trying to deny the reality of that?

Accurate but not entirely relevant.

This is a stupid take.

"I am SHOCKED that the DNC would rather fight tooth and nail to protect its incumbents than protect working class americans!" - No working-class American, ever.

People who give decades of their lives in public service deserve our respect but it doesn't mean they're entitled to hold their jobs until they die. Refusing to let go hurts the next generation of leaders and it's time we start holding the Democratic Party accountable for allowing it to continue.

Would absolutely love to be Canada's 11th province!

"and humans must ultimately be held accountable for what the AI impacts." How many people are gonna get fired because of AI hallucinations?

Let's be honest: he's just mad that these judges took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not him personally. Ol' TACO is such a puppet he just assumes everybody else he appoints will be one too.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Acorn Cafe is great! Good food, good staff, and paying it forward is a really nice act of kindness.

And zero accountability when the software kills somebody, because it absolutely will. But hey, healthcare CEOs and stockholders will make so much money!

I'm so happy to see all of them get fleeced like this. They deserve it.

Time to check @unusualwhales.bsky.social and see who bought puts.

I'm glad they're fighting back against a glaringly obvious revenge campaign but I'm way unsettled by the idea of Harvard giving up all that info on their international students. Curious to see what comes out in the lawsuit.
comment in response to post
"Harvard’s lawsuit also said that the university had been working to comply with the April 16 request...Despite the “unprecedented nature and scope” of the demands...Harvard had submitted the required information on April 30...and also complied with a follow-up request." They complied?!

Or how about the ability to filter by brand again, except its not their manipulated and restricted list that stops me from finding the brands I actually want?
comment in response to post
I don't want an AI voice to talk me through product features, I want the ability to filter out products that aren't race-to-the-bottom cheap overseas knockoff shit.

"...likely leaving workers with a smaller share of annual output." US billionaires' wealth grew 87.6% from $2.946 trillion in 2020 to $5.529 trillion in 2025. Republicans are working to gut healthcare and food support for millions of Americans so that ~800 people can get even richer.

Sounds like hiding a cognitive decline to me. Good thing we're so focused on that for a past president, should be a natural transition to examining the current one.

"I'm not someone who has ever committed violence," says the guy who literally condemned millions to die by cutting foreign aid, defunded life-saving medical research, and slashed programs and benefits people depend on to survive... and that's not counting the pollution, worker deaths, etc

Wow. You guys are spending an awful lot of time beating a dead horse when there is a living ass in the WH right now

Pretty shocking that news media isn't calling her on it and holding the line together. ...wait, no it isn't.

If you build it, they will come. It's time to start invoicing towns that push their struggling residents out to communities that actually provide services.

Brown rice grown in the US Southeast has some of the highest concentrations of heavy metals. For nearly a century the South has had lax environmental regulations and welcomed industries that poison black communities. Now you're telling us that the rice belt and cancer belt overlap?!

Wow, a masterful grasp of both economics AND foreign policy! If only he was a champion golfer too.

Gosh, I remember all the politicians toeing the DNC party line and dogpiling on Dean Phillips for having the audacity to suggest it was time for Biden to step aside and let somebody younger run. How much longer are we gonna let octogenarians with massive egos run this country into the ground?

Now do gas and rent.

Feel free to keep waiting. Some of these folks will die (of starvation, preventable illness, cancer caused by poisioned air/water/food, unaffordable medical care, it's basically a grab bag) still praising MAGA as long as they get to believe the underclass of the moment are getting it worse.
comment in response to post
If those MAGAs could read, they'd have a little red book and be very upset.

When trade agreements can be rescinded via social media based on what a doddering old man last saw on TV, they're not worth the paper they're written on. What business would continue to make significant investments in the US knowing we're an unreliable partner whose word means nothing?
comment in response to post
Why do you describe this as 'accidentally' screwing MAGA voters? Did the guy surrounded by key players in an effort to dismantle government agencies and slash federal spending make a little fucky wucky? How many more times does this have to happen before media recognizes it's not an accident?

Who could have seen this coming?!

There's a fair amount of folks who are no longer interested in waiting for Guffman on the magic breakthrough moment when rural voters realize they keep voting against their own interests.

It was a role they had a degree for but clearly hadn't actually learned much. This was far beyond "fake it till you make it" (IMO most professionals have to do that, especially early career) and well into 'trying to get AI to do the job for me'.
comment in response to post
He's right for the wrong reason. I love arguing that 'fitness is patriotic' to overweight MAGA combat cosplayers who couldn't run one mile in shorts and a tshirt let alone the full gear they stomp around in. They get so angry.

If one person stands up, the cops drag them out. If everybody stands up, they can't do a damn thing.
