Our ability to get other countries to send us real goods like cars and computers in exchange for increasingly worthless chits is actually a measure of our economic strength. But Trump is a moron so...

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

This looks like fun. They did miss the opportunity to explain why train wheels are usually tapered though.

This is good news. Although my first reaction was "what do you have against Multi Protocol Label Switching" 😜

THE DUMBASS WENT BACK TO MPLS LMAO

Really there should be a blanket law that NDA's do not cover crimes. Period. Full stop. The idea that it's OK to use an NDA to hide evidence of your crimes is bullshit.

Survivors of sexual abuse would be free to speak about their experiences even if they sign a nondisclosure agreement under a new bill put forward by the House Republican leading the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Congress.

Federal agents may have broken state laws after the Department of Homeland Security began surging personnel for what it called the Unlawful Voter Initiative, a federal whistleblower alleges. n.pr/4yE1CTT

They aren't going to be able to claim they thought it was legal after calling it the "Unlawful ... Initiative" 😂😂

That's some misdirection in their announcement. It's pretty clear the hackers took basically everything, but they only want to count the info that the hackers had time to sell? Like the hackers don't still have all the data to do with as they please?

I knew that reduced oil imports by China has played a big role in keeping oil prices sane during Trumps ill-advised war but this is the first news I've seen which explains that the why and how is in large part just plain lower oil usage.

Everyone needs to frame this for what it is: a conspiracy to break numerous state laws relating to ballot handling. The fact that the planning is happening in the open does not make it magically legal. This is a crime in progress and needs to be treated as such.

Seriously America. Why are you going along with the King Trump plan? Why didn't you like democracy? Explain it to me like I'm five exactly why you are letting a fucking felon tell us all what to do?

And the President is spending his time renaming lakes to piss off Canada while Google changes the map and the press feeds the spectacle. STOP TREATING PROPAGANDA AS GEOGRAPHY. STOP TREATING MADNESS AS NORMAL POLITICS. We have REAL fucking problems. WHAT. THE. FUCK. ARE. WE. DOING?

As mentioned in my comment on USPS's new ballot rule, the American postal service was born in 1774 _because_ the alternative system (the Crown's post) let the executive decide which mail not to deliver. For a Court riveted by bespoke historical analogs, this rule is 252 years of unAmerican.

We need a feed filter here that removes content that's nothing more than reposts from the other place. Some people might enjoy seeing that stuff but part of not wanting to be on that site is not wanting to platform those who do post there.

"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."
