Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

This shutdown looks more like an actual government collapse

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 21h

President Trump is making this government shutdown unlike any the nation has ever seen, giving his budget office rare authority to pick who gets paid or fired, which programs are cut or survive — in an unprecedented restructuring across the federal workforce.

Trump and budget chief Vought are making this a government shutdown unlike any other

President Donald Trump is making this government shutdown unlike any the nation has ever seen. The White House's budget office headed by Russ Vought is deciding who gets paid or fired in an unprecedented restructuring across the federal workforce.

I love when the subway makes a weird noise and everyone in the car makes brief eye contact like “Is this it? Are we about to die together?”

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Every Wednesday we’re calling our city council members to demand a baseline of at least %.5 of the city budget be used to fund NYC libraries.

Join us in calling!

Here’s a script with instructions bit.ly/3KM9Eq9 , and you can look up your city council member here : council.nyc.gov/districts/

A meme based on the movie Mean Girls where one of the popular kids says “on Wednesdays we wear pink”, this image shows two characters from the movie at a lunch table with the text “on Wednesdays we demand %.5 of the city budget for library funding”

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."
