the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

The explosive measles outbreak mushrooming out of West Texas will require "significant financial resources" to control, and the agency is already struggling to keep up.

I appreciate that some routes to starting a match in the Paramount Plus app result in the left hand navigation controls staying on the screen while other routes remove them so you can see the whole picture. Great job!

We did it, we finally found a farming subsidy that someone would cancel! (It's the subsidy for climate-friendly practices.)

UP FIRST: A whistleblower who works at NLRB says that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data. And, the Trump administration froze over $2 billion for Harvard after it rejected demands.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

The first rule of fascism is the State Is Never Wrong. It’s that simple. If any of the people we’ve abducted and trafficked out of the country come back, they are living proof of a fallible state, and therefore a threat to their power.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

If you’re white and wiped your shit on the Capitol walls, you’re Trump’s hero. If you’re white and swindled $10’s of millions Trump will pardon you if you pay him. If you’re a (white) racist drunk, welcome to the Cabinet! But if you’re brown, legal, and have a tattoo… www.latimes.com/world-nation...

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

Times suck badly right now but, on a personal level, I cannot tell you how mentally liberating it is to no longer be working for either a large law firm or a major media company, so many of which have totally debased themselves already and so many more of which will no doubt soon be doing so.

The 30 permanent and 20 seasonal employees of Great Basin National Park serve 150,000 visitors a year, an industry which generates more than $10 million in visitor spending and is responsible for two-thirds of White Pine County's sales tax revenue. "Negative productivity" indeed.

Valencia raising his hand there reminds me that I want yellows given to players who do that or “show the card”.

That’s my win, the yellow on Valencia. Diving little bitch.

Remote announcers having no idea what’s going on because they’ve only got the video feed to judge from. Thanks Apple and MLS for degrading the quality of the product while keeping the price the same.

Looked like a rather soft foul on Atuesta, but can’t put your hands on the back of the attacker there.

Tremendous effort by Freeman to win the throw.

If only Penso had given yellows to RBNY is the first half…

Orlando has 7 fouls and 3 yellows. RBNY has 11 fouls and 1 yellow.

Don’t think he’s done well in the 2nd half, either.

“Angulo’s first touch lets him down” should be his nickname.

Rodri’s gotta be careful about those fouls. Oh… well that’ll do it. Thanks Penso. YOLO gonna YOLO.

Is that Ngoma’s persistent infringement?

I don’t think Chris Penso had a good first half.

The ref let advantage go, but that was the 4th foul by Ngoma.

Valencia is a pathetic diver. What a clown.

That’s at least 3 fouls by Ngoma so far.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
