“Well—I’m—we are the federal law. You better do it because otherwise, you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”

This sentence. First, almost “I’m the federal law,” followed by just a completely wonky sentence. What a technically human being

This is a much better article than the “here are States impacted, enjoy!” article I saw yesterday

The “nice” thing here is that it would actually put in the record how corrupt he is. Not that that would do much other than nock another arrow for later suits.

It’s similar to how “Covid caused us to raise prices!” Sure, initially it would have, but then they saw that watermark and kept bumping it higher, all the while blaming supply chains.

Fast forward to now: Covid is “over,” yet somehow all my groceries still cost much more.

Y’know, I’m starting to think Trump just has vanity projects that he gets to do in exchange for rubber stamping anyone else’s proposals

Gonna be a fun surprise when consumer spending zeroes out and we end up in a recession

Might argue that the power ceded to the president over the last 2 decades is the real issue, so checks notes all of them are at fault.

Cool beans. So if compelled speech isn’t free speech, I can still call it Gulf of Mexico…right?

So glad this is the focus, by the way

Lol MF, it’s literally how the govt is supposed to work

Fun read, though there were some odd typos that feel like (incoming) either LLM generation or summaries?

Odd pronoun flip here

The documentary also doesn’t shy away from depicting the transphobia Steele faces, with Ferrell visibly moved, crying at the cruelty with which her friend is treated and correcting people who misgender her

And then at the end a reference to him wearing an elf costume and a cigar, when it was a cigarette? Minor things, and doesn’t necessarily negate the article. Just some weirdness while reading.

“Yea, but not my wife, she’s one of the ‘good’ ones!” - JD, in his mind

Dear Quebecer,

Got any room?

Sincerely, a New Englander

I’m still frustrated that it’s his own trade deal that he is renegotiating…so then his original deal wasn’t good? Maybe he shouldn’t be the* one in charge of it?

I know its mostly yelling into the void, but goddamn.

If there’s an issue, explain the issue. Don’t brick phones and say “Oh no! Here, pay us money to get a brand new one! We’ll cover some cost…after fees are subtracted, of course.”

There isn’t really an upshot here

I mean, it’s illegal lol so yea

I’m fairly certain if this is allowed, that’s curtain call. He doesn’t control those pursestrings, as they were laws passed by Congress.

ie, this is illegal.

That’s a good callout on me! I didn’t mean to insinuate it was only that group one at a time, so thank you!

I wish I could upvote this harder. The Jewish people were subjected to horrific evils, but that wasn’t just going to stop with them.

Society did a great job of teaching about the atrocities except to really hammer home that it was the “other” that was the target, not just that single group; they are the first, but wouldn’t be the last if the Nazis were allowed to continue.

Wait, where?

He also signed a letter to the United Nations giving it notice that the US was exiting, which starts the formal process of withdrawal from the world’s main effort to mitigate the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

This appears to mean the Paris accord still?

I’m not looking forward to the next week, let alone 4 years.
