I simply cannot believe I live in a timeline where journalists helped force the last president out of his reelection campaign for being too old, so the country put an unstable 79 year old who falls asleep constantly in office and none of the same journalists care at all.
Absolute bombshell on MS NOW. The Trump administration bypassed all legal oversight to hand a $6.9M no-bid contract to his personal pool guy to paint the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
Washington is intentionally looting taxpayers to enrich their cronies.
Pure corruption!
NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show.
The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract.

If you want to change language, change YOUR language, not how you expect other people to talk. "You need to be the change I want to see in the world" is a pretty shitty way of going about change.
It's pretty amazing the amount of abuse @jessesingal and @jonathanchait take from progressives on Twitter just because they're slightly less progressive.
The criticism of this article comes down to “you will pry our high-profile target from our cold dead hands”. Not a single one seems to have read the article, and certainly haven’t given it a second of consideration.
Right wingers couldn't accept that their stupid fucking ideas were unpopular and convinced themselves they were being shadowbanned. One such nincompoop bought the whole fucking show and fired anybody who could have done it.
Still deeply unpopular, now grasping at straws.
People are voting for Jim Jordan for speaker. A congressman who’s never authored a bill in his 14+ years in Congress. A man who overlooked the molestation of hundreds of boys in his care. A leading figure in the 2021 insurrection against the American government. Yikes GOP. Yikes.
Some neuroscientist needs to explain how and why things that are at worst annoying somehow manage to convert a certain kind of middle-aged ex-leftist into a frothing authoritarian reactionary.
The problem plaguing the debate over open discourse is just how nutty the mainstream right has become. No one's getting throttled for calling to repeal the estate tax or Endangered Species Act. It's shit like this. This is the NY Young Republicans Club.

*sigh* There are good, logical approaches to pronouns (gender-neutral singular, anyone? No one.), but no one is interested in approaching them, because then you can't draw a clean line and accuse others of hatred.
