Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."
Guys, the President was literally threatening to invade the territory of a NATO country earlier this year, to the point where they had to deploy troops to deter it. That has consequences.
At the Valve GDC talk: "If you have a line on a bunch of RAM, we are in the market and would like to buy it."
Anyway, hardware is still listed as coming in 2026. Now it's GDC official (a.k.a. pretty much meaningless still but maybe).
So let me get this straight. In two days we went from โthe Epstein list doesnโt existโ to โthe Epstein list that certainly exists was created by Obama n suchโ
Ya ok
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
Itโs not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOPโs hands. Theyโve built this political environment and theyโve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.
Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.
Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need
Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
Everything thatโs happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.
Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation:
18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive.
The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch.
Iโm curious to see what else they have planned, and yes Iโm worried about how Russia will respond.
He literally pays people to curate his news so he only sees the good stuff and now he has the sads because he didnโt know about TACO. Heโs so embarrassing.
Spare me the fake outrage.
None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind.
As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks.
Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.
Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?
A new episode of abuse by Russian commanders against their own soldiers.
First, they go off to "defend the motherland," then they witness the true horrors of war, refuse to continue โ and this is what awaits them.
Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.
if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost
๐บ๐ฆ Zelensky: The world may be taking a weekend off, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. Americaโs silence, the silence of others in the world, only encourages Putin.
Je moet de zorgen van het volk serieus nemen, vinden partijen als PVV en BBB. Maar als het volk massaal op de been komt, dan is het volk โin de warโ (dixit: Wilders). nos.nl/artikel/2567...
I'm happy with the top 3! Austria deserved the win, Estonia was a good meme so of course they're second, and Sweden deserved that third place very much!
