ok just to be a broken record I think journalists are doing a BAD JOB when they fail to mention that FEMA maps are out of date because the Statute written by Congress does not let them model climate change
The Miami Herald tracked 16,569 flood complaints from over 12,000 locations in Miami-Dade and Broward over the last 11 years, and found 32% were outside the newly-expanded 500-year flood zones scheduled to go into effect as early as 2026: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

Chris Rufo literally was a core figure in boosting a lie that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio town ate pets. He offered a bounty for “information” after the lie was repeatedly debunked.

1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.
It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.
Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.

this is also the opposite of true. being a Poll Parrot is a) openly dishonest to the voters and b) makes a hash of democratic reasoning, which requires honest partisans to make their case to the electorate
This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

SCOOP: OSHA is investigating a new crane accident at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Texas that left a worker with a broken hip, knee, and tibia, after he was crushed by a falling metal support.
This comes as OSHA is still probing a crane collapse at Starbase in June.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

At the same time that ICE continues their terror campaign, the American people continue to step up to protect their communities, even in the cold.
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

I’m going to keep saying it: both the “male loneliness epidemic” and the techbro obsession with AI are, at their core, about a complete lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to other people and a terror of vulnerability/interdependence.
we talk a lot about the weirdo techbro obsession with immortality these AI necromancy projects embody, but I'm arguably even MORE fascinated by the terror of allowing yourself to experience deep, complex emotions they so obviously reveal
