  • Trump urges Republicans to defund NPR, PBS

    Jump

  • Then they would cease to be public media and would just be another non-profit news organization/content producer

    Also, federal funding is a tiny chunk of NPR and PBS, but the individual member stations that actually broadcast the stuff NPR and PBS produce tend to get a lot bigger chunk of their budgets through the feds (this is what they're talking about when they say the funding is "crucial to bringing public broadcasting to local communities")

  • Speaker Mike Johnson floats eliminating federal courts as GOP ramps up attacks on judges

    Jump

  • No, people have been making it for a while because it impacts every new situation we can't deal with our other problems without dealing with this one. What's late here is the response to this observation, the observation itself is right on time every time Republicans do something awful and scumbag Dems don't do anything to stop them.

  • Democratic group aims to spend $40m on key 2026 races for election oversight

    Jump

  • For what it's worth, these are just State Secretaries who administer elections, beyond technically being members of the Democratic party and putting that in the name of their organization they don't really have any connection or influence to what scumbags like Schumer and Slotkin are doing

    That all being said, this organization should probably just change their name and drop that association because the time they have to waste explaining that they're not the bad Democrats and that they're actually one of our last lines of defense for having halfway democratic elections is just going to be a drag on their campaigns

  • I'm not sure there's anything in Article III that would really stop him. They don't have the votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster to legislation but it's not clear the Democratic party is willing to do those, so who knows.

    Too bad the Democratic party didn't look into reforming the courts when they had majorities in Congress.

  • Trump dismisses Signal security failure as ‘the only glitch in two months’

  • Removed Jackie Robinson's page from a Department of Defense website because of their war on DEI, then had to backtrack and restore it because Robinson was famous enough that even a lot of the MAGAts out there felt uncomfortable about it

  • Notepad.exe

    Jump

  • I have, but I also have a touch of dysgraphia, so my handwriting is serviceable but really slow (like, the 2d spatial relation skills of being able to keep the different bits of letters proportioned to each other takes active concentration for me), whereas I can use keyboard without thinking about it

    Incidentally, the fact that cursive was a graded subject for me in elementary school that almost led to me getting held back a grade probably played a big part in who I grew up to be (i.e. someone who usually doesn't like authority figures but does like misfits and outcasts)

  • I think it's the true goal of these "actually Joe Biden is great and you're an idiot for thinking otherwise" bastards who exclusively attack leftists. Thinly veiled reverse psychology designed to piss people off into not voting or voting third party.

  • I would say the last time they existed was the 1970s when Nixon agreed to create an EPA he really didn't want to that had fewer powers than its supporters really wanted. The 90s only seemed smooth because scumbag Clinton gave Republicans everything they wanted on welfare reform, criminal justice, telecom deregulation, intellectual property laws, and international trade.

    And we still got Gingrich and the contract with America and Ken Starr and Sore Loserman for being so conciliatory

  • This country's system of governments is a joke that stopped being funny

  • Trump’s first term polarized teens’ views on racism and inequality

    Jump

  • Interestingly, only young Trump supporters in our study became more likely to vote after Trump’s first election.

    This is your country on neoliberal Democratic party leadership

    e; and unchecked voter suppression laws coming out of Republican state governments (but as to who that check will be, see my original comment)

  • Roberts rejects Trump's call for impeaching judge who ruled against his deportation plans

    Jump

  • I don't see how people are seeing that Roberts statement as a rejection of Trump. He didn't say Trump's name or call out anything specific Trump's done and he's demonstrated that he's perfectly capable of doing that

    Roberts then issued a rare public rebuke, according to Fox News.

    “This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,'” the statement said

    “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort [blah blah blah]

  • Republican town hall drowned out by "tax the rich" chants

    Jump

  • I searched for "mike flood town hall" filtering out results after November of 2024 and found a bunch of news stories across 2023 and 2024 talking about him holding townhalls but never found any saying that he'd had a bunch of people show up to yell at him. Seems like whatever this is it's something different.

  • Why the hell is a guy who resigned in disgrace even getting ANY support right now.

    Because the dollars of this country that are available to be donated to political campaigns are largely held by dirtbags and I'm guessing those dirtbags know a bunch of other skeletons that are in Cuomo's closet which could be broken out if he ever tried to defy them
