Hey @aoc.bsky.social, could you look into why the copy of the Constitution on Congress's website no longer includes half of Article I Section 8 or any of Sections 9 and 10? There's some vaguely important stuff in there. web.archive.org/web/diff/202...

"there is no word in any language that captures the level of obliviousness..." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is highly concerning to me. Model railroading is a pretty big part of my life, and I really do fear that I could lose that if something isn't done. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH_e...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Definitely was not expecting a string quartet version of Radiohead’s Creep playing in the background at the vet’s office.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

The tariffs will continue until morale improves.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

See, this is clearly all Biden's fault. If the markets hadn't gone up so much under his administration, then they wouldn't have as far to fall now. /s

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Day four of I can't hear myself think, because the jerk that owns the wooded lot at the end of my street decided it needs to be clear cut. No idea what he plans on doing with it, because it's practically a sheer cliff. Not like you could build something on it.

De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’ theonion.com/de-blasio-we...

literally every time I talk to friends

Isn’t the point of digital signage at fast food restaurants so that they can be updated immediately? Why am I being shown a gigantic ad for a menu item that I WANT TO ORDER if the restaurant no longer offers it?

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Every time my navigation app asks me to verify the location of a speed trap I’m torn between my disdain for bad cops profiling certain drivers and my disdain for unsafe drivers who would escape capture by said speed traps with the advance knowledge of their locations.

I don’t know if Google can top this, their finest work to date

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Me, to myself, yesterday: Hmmm, I haven't charged my mouse in a while, I wonder if I should plug it in overnight. Nah, it's probably fine. Computer, today: Mouse battery low.

I think my favorite aspect of working from home is the ability to put on some classical music that matches my mood on the audio equipment I probably spent too much money on, and crank the volume up well past what would be remotely considered acceptable if anyone else was around.

Reposting as Sagan is so prescient from 30 years ago.

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

But her emails!

hey Dems. this is what we would call "good" do more of this.

Not one thing, nope.

"I don't know who comes up with these things..." --Donald Trump on the USMCA yesterday. "The USMCA is the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history. All of our countries will benefit greatly." --Donald J. Trump on the USMCA after he signed it.

I didn’t expect to need “Elon and some techbros stage a coup” on my 2025 bingo card. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Donald Trump: Comply with my demands or I will hurt my own people! Canada: Ok, we will keep doing a thing we’ve been doing. Mexico: Ok, we will do a thing we did under the last guy. Trump: I WIN!!!! Fucking idiot.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Ouch. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just called Trump's new trade war "The Dumbest Trade War in History"
