whether hegseth gets away with it remains to be seen but it is interesting to see that he thought trump handed him a license to murder with this job, no questions asked, and now questions are definitely being asked.

It’s often the most vulnerable Canadians who don’t file their taxes and miss out on the benefits they need or have paid into.

So we’re introducing Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million lower-income Canadians.

god bless the one person who QTed this negatively because they don't realize lower income canadians tend to get a tax refund

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Why are rich kids diagnosed at higher rates? Cuz rich parents can afford expensive outside testing. Most schools don't have the resources to test kids or the resources to provide enough accommodations. So it's a fight in nearly any district to get your kids tested, much less to get an IEP in place.
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

The idea that I started covering Nick early on because he was critical of Israel (that’s one way to put it) and not because he was a white nationalist with clear aspirations of influence and power is so stupid and dishonest it’s not even laughable.
Nick Fuentes says that a Right Wing Watch "smear campaign" is to blame for giving people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, Christian nationalist extremist nut job. We'd argue that it's his own words that are giving people that impression. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

I was worried my kids would rely on AI as a shortcut but they hate it. They use "AI" to mean stupid or cheap ("aimbot" means good). I tried to say AI is helpful for some things and my daughter said "yeah, for making you stupid." This is how they talked about Drake after "Not Like Us" came out

Yeah, this tracks. For my 14 year old and their friends, “AI” and “ChatGPT” have become synonymous with trash. “They probably use ChatGPT” is a devastating insult for them that I have heard them all deploy on more than one occasion.

Which means the Democrats’ video about not following illegal orders was almost certainly made with full knowledge that this had happened and that it was going to come out soon.

It takes place on Christmas Eve--only
It features a Christmas party
It's main lessons are about people putting aside their differences and family bonding through difficult circumstances
It includes lots of Christmas music, both diegetic and non-diegetic
It ends with a snow storm (of paper)

If you spend decades undermining a liberal arts education, you get college students who can't write a decent essay. But you also get adults who can't recognize a decent essay and sincerely think the issue is the beliefs and not that reading this is painful.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
