unfathomable damage done to America. You could have abundant, cheap, emission-free electricity flowing to your home right now if it weren't for these people.

[TheOmniZaddy 🌹🌐🔰🏗 @TheOmniZaddy]

All too many regulations/rules on the books are like this. The intent is not to actually follow the rule, it is to use it as a leverage/veto point in order to negotiate for something else

[Western Hegemony Enjoyer @WHE_Reborn]

People are mad but he's 100% right. In order to get shit fixed you can't be a fucking whining defeatist loser.

I would give almost anything to have been in the room to watch the guy whose job it was to convince a Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas graduate that his boss has successfully matched God and created a soul.

one of the best running bits of the last 30 or so years is that ben affleck is actually really smart

[camille @carabinergrrrl]

starting a band called “beach boys 2” and writing songs like “gooder vibrations” and “wouldn’t it be even nicer”

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

once again, this stuff is directly traceable to SCOTUS' unprincipled rulings, not required by the Constitution, that you can't sue federal cops. SCOTUS should restore the Bivens doctrine.

People (mostly Boomers) love posting and retweeting stuff like this and this is literally just definition of a Low Trust Society.

Horatio Nelson was sane, knew a lot about history and trusted his government.

You are bragging about civilization destroying levels of cynicism.

at the end of the day this datacenter thing might end up like real earth mining, where environmentalists who wanted the stuff for electric cars also pushed it out of the US, resulting in it being done in more environmentally destructive ways but out of sight and out of mind...

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

Absolutely insane that not once has a Republican president actually cut federal spending in 60 years.

Party full of bullshitters and liars about their core issue, "fiscal conservatism"

[Peter🧅📈 @PeterJAngel]

Feel like I'm going crazy. Nobody notices data centers. You build them and then they are these random warehouses

[Cory in San Francisco @coryfromphilly]

I love the Republican messaging of "Democrats suck at governing, but if you vote for me, I'll say fuck it and give up governing entirely."

Really making me want to vote Republican, Steve.

[Actual Sheep @DeutschWatamate]

They always laughed at medieval 2 for this, but this is how the negotiations in Iran go

[The Notorious S.E.B. @bigseb31213]

The only way to maintain an organization where the rank and file is conservative and the leadership is communist, is to attack a shared enemy - the Democratic Party

is it good for organized labor to try and remove their only political allies from power? lol

[QuoProQuid @TNOQuoProQuid]

5-4 for a guarantee that is written in plain text in the constitution

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

It's even crueler than described. Say you marry your college sweetheart on a student visa, or girlfriend on a work visa. Maybe pregnant? Doesn't matter. You're forced to live apart or abroad for two years. If she is from 75 countries on Trump's arbitrary ban list, indefinitely.

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

Most important quote about politics in the last 15 years

[sam @sam_d_1995]

oh my god, this is unbelievable: the striking LIRR worker complaining that Hochul “has money for everything except our salaries” LITERALLY MADE MORE MONEY THAN HOCHUL DID LAST YEAR

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

“One of the reasons so many younger people have flocked to the pro-housing “yes in my backyard” movement is because they can see perfectly clearly the way that the Marbleheads of the world have blocked their own economic prospects — & they resent it.”
