HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

When I was in middle school a bunch of parents, including my mom, at my synagogue were unhappy with the sex ed at the public schools so put together a, like, 12 week curriculum for after school, paid for by the congregation, staffed my professional educators. I think it was immensely helpful.

Do you think PSA would grade one of these for me

Anyone else on here following the saga of minor political grifter, Lindy Li? Her most recent interview is an all timer.

There is really no constituency for this bill apart from crypto lobbyists who keep Sherrod Brown’s scalp on ice so they can wave it front of senators. Cash bribes and super PACs, that’s how they rescued this scam after the FTX scandal briefly made it toxic.

Teens & 20-somethings think 30-40 year olds are uncool? Wow this is a brand new phenomenon.

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

do you understand how fucking racist you have to be for Piers Morgan to call you a racist lmfao

This is mostly a liberal issue and I think it’s because a lot of liberals see democratic electeds the same way they see Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Ritchie Torres is a smol bean, etc

Thinking about a lasagna empanada for breakfast

Especially true for institutions like Harvard who absolutely have the money to keep it all together as they sue the government over withheld funding.

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

There was a YIMBY guy on the other site yesterday who went on the warpath about how much he hated publicly funded neighborhood community gardens in nyc and it made me realize I’m not as ideologically aligned with centrist YIMBYs on policy as I thought.

How is everyone this morning

Everything I said about Fetterman was true, and I have no sympathy for him. Get him out of there.

If dems don't successfully primary Fetterman they are all but guaranteed to lose his seat next election. He either flips or he loses outright.

Hey what’re we saying about John Fetterman on this website, I was on the other one this morning

what the fuck, man

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

That is literally the entire point: it’s not that these guys don’t exist in other systems, it’s that they are less likely to be in charge of the party that is de facto guaranteed either the largest or second largest vote share.

jesse singal is being used as a primary reference by the trump administration on “the dangers of youth transgender care”. he is aiding the states objective of oppression of trans rights directly now

just listened to a chunk of this interview and in addition to radiating hitler particles this keeperman guy is a dumbass with mommy issues (many such cases)

The most helpful thing you could do for MAGA in this moment is argue that our political institutions work well for the American people, which most voters do not believe. This is one reason why the party making that argument in November lost to Donald Trump, returning him to the White House.

We had our first Infinite Jest book club meeting last night. So much fun. I’ve read it before, so it was *really* hard not to provide context to anything and just facilitate. We spent a bunch of time talking about him as a person, and his relationship with Mary Karr.

My wife was right, it was much, much worse than I thought it would be

That’ll just about do it for every single public school in America outside of an urban metro.

This would horrify the founders, and by “this” I mean Catholics being allowed on the court

I’m wfh today would it be crazy to work out of a hookah lounge this morning

"What makes you more worthy of safety?"

I think DnD 5e is fun, I think the rules are pretty straightforward and intuitive, and tbh, I think it’s impressive the game is as balanced and accessible as it is with as much content as it has. In terms of rules… I think if you have an issue with home rules you should just play video games.

Angie Craig voted for the Laken Riley Act, which means she is partly responsible for the current administration’s immigration and deportation policy. Which disqualifies her from representing Minnesota in the United States Senate.

The biggest problem with a publication like The Atlantic - and this is true about the Times as well - is they are too serious to properly cover Trump. They lack the capacity to truly appreciate the absurdity in Trump, which means they fluff him up as a matter of course.

I guess I just think anyone who says stuff like "The groupchats are the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion" should be stuffed in a locker and never let out. These groupchats are only powerful because of the sheer concentration of wealth. Your crowd isn't brilliant or clever. You're just rich.

J Alfred Prufrock: "Hello, my name is J Alfred Prufrock" TS Eliot: (thinking) "this guy fuckin sucks ass. i am gonna roast the fuckin shit out of him"

It truly is a more serious problem for people like Matt Yglesias and Jonathan Chait if you think public school teachers deserve collective bargaining rights than if you think certain races are genetically predisposed to be more violent and stupid than other races.
