    Jump

  • It’s actually based on a play, but yeah… “the gas lights aren’t flickering” is the original gaslighting

    The film was nominated for a decent number of Oscars and won a handful iirc. Edit: womp, it went 2 for 7 at the Oscars.

  • 'Deep sense of outrage and betrayal': House Democrats react to Schumer announcement

    Jump

  • After it was known that Musk was salivating for the shutdown to cut more shit, I’m not really surprised. They’ve got 2 years to fight back. You don’t spend all your political capital before you’ve earned it

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Pretty sure “drug czar” has been around long before my time.

    Edit: Google says border czar was popularized under Clinton, drug czar was first used by Nixon and popularized under Reagan
