A lot of people on here remain bitter about the version of Uncommitted they made up in their heads while high profile members of the actual Uncommitted are becoming mayors, state senators, members of Congress and maybe even part of the US Senate. In some cases, with establishment support.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · yesterdayUnder-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer
The following morning, Ukrainian long-range drones struck a major oil refinery in Salavat, Russia. These three events illustrate how warfare has changed - and the lesson for every democracy: survival cannot be outsourced to a single country or entrusted to a single company.
That same night, Russia launched eight ballistic missiles at Ukraine. Five were intercepted by Patriot systems. It was the first time in nearly two weeks that Ukraine had managed to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles, due to a critical shortage of interceptors.

Abraham Lincoln is rolling over in his grave at the fact that so much of mainstream and liberal culture has accepted the far right's contention that the original founding principles were right-wing. You could argue his life's work was to assert the opposite, with major success.

Notice how it only took about a decade after Citizen's United for Congress to stop functioning as a coequal branch of government and pretty much just shrivel up and die.
Micah@rincewind.run · yesterdaythe intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation
“ICE awarded GEO a 15-year contract for the 1,000-bed facility in February 2025, worth roughly $1 billion over its term and more than $60 million in the first full year of operations, and the building reopened that spring. It is now the largest ICE detention center on the East Coast.”

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.
