Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

Haley Stevens conceded. That was the right call. Now it’s time for everybody to LOCK THE FUCK IN and get to work to beat Mike Rogers.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

What Trump did to the Kennedy Center—slapping his name on it, throwing it into chaos—is a preview of what he's trying to do with the Smithsonian. It's about control. He wants to turn these institutions into propaganda machines, rewriting history and erasing anything he thinks is “too divisive."

Just admit it: The Supreme Court is political

Let’s face it, the Supreme Court has dug itself into a hole, and it just keeps digging.

The Trump admin has been trying to get its hands on everyone's data to help them go after immigrant communities, opponents, and dissenters. Now, the Senate might give them more power to spy on us, under the guise of stopping shoplifters. Congress must block CORCA.
