So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.
Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.
Gotta be some kind of record.
Yesterday, ASU apparently, for a short time, changed their LGBTQ+ resource page to "LGB Students"
This would match what Trump did to Stonewall National Monument.
Thankfully sanity prevailed and someone changed it back.
Do NOT erase trans people to please Trump!

People who grew up Rightwing have insights for many people. And one thing you learn from them is that the perpetual sense of victimhood cannot be alleviated by individuals being nicer to other individuals. It doesn't work this way.

I love when Trump issued an executive order that’s insane, a lawyer says he can’t legally do this, and then dozens of people yell at the lawyer for saying that. There’s nothing wrong with saying all of this is wildly illegal, and saying otherwise is just a form of useless doomerism.

It finally happened. The first documented case of a public school teacher being fired for referring to a student by their chosen name, instead of their dead name, as required by a law signed by Ron DeSantis in 2023:

Florida teacher loses job for calling student by preferred name
It’s the first known dismissal stemming from the conservative campaign to limit schools' recognition of transgender identity.
It's not like these SSNs were fraudulently obtained. These are legally assigned SSNs, identical to the ones that US citizens have. If they can cancel immigrants' SSNs, there's nothing stopping them from canceling citizens' SSNs.

SAVE solves a non-problem by burdening American citizens.
Maine's voting culture is the best in the nation. I am confident that under the SAVE Act, our state can both ensure that only citizens can cast ballots and that no one faces unnecessary barriers to registering to vote.

I remember getting ready for a mass act of civil disobedience once, and a guy who was also preparing to get arrested said, "We're not criminals. We're doing the right thing." I told him, "We are doing the right thing, and we are *absolutely* criminals. We're about to do a crime, bro."

The GOP Congress continues to fail its duties, but Trump might have awoken a leviathan. Trump's most concrete economic goal was to lower the 10-year Treasury yield, and instead he sent it up. It went up again today despite what should've been a reassuring CPI report. Bond markets don't trust him.
"No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world economy, wrecking financial markets, forcing this country and other countries into recession if that’s what he feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning"

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line
The entire reason you curb the exercise of arbitrary power is it prevents one asshole's mood swings from wrecking an entire country! You don't praise it when it momentarily swings in your favor
Positive early Senate GOP reaction to Trump pausing his own tariffs:
“Terrific,” says Ted Cruz.
“Relieved “ says Ron Johnson.
“Great leadership,” says Eric Schmitt.
Susan Collins says it’s not enough and Congress needs to retake its power to impose tariffs from the executive.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.
It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

Finally found it. The average book thief makes between 60k and 99K USD.
The average author makes around 10k. Most pirates are stealing from people worse off than themselves. But they cosplay as poor or use poor people as a shield to justify their class warfare.
