this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Uhhh well this would be a very rare occurrence if there is legitimately no challenger to a sitting Senator in the general
Wow.
All four GOP challengers to Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan were disqualified for failing to meet ballot requirements.
If he has is no Dem primary challenger and no one runs an indy or write-in, he will have NO OPPOSITION in November.

Rulings could mean easier paths to reelection for some New Mexico incumbents

In his 1998 interview with Guitar World, Prince spoke directly about one of the reasons why he was seeking ownership of his work: to have artistic control so there couldn't be unauthorized digital manipulation of his work after his death. sites.google.com/site/prninte...
![GW: With digital editing, it is now possible to create a situation where you could jam with any artist from the past. Would you ever consider doing something like that?
O(+>: Certainly not. That's the most demonic thing imaginable. Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon. Also, what they did with that Beatles song ["Free As a Bird"], manipulating John Lennon's voice to have him singing from across the grave... that'lI never happen to me. To prevent that kind of thing from happening is another reason why I want artistic control.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sg2e2kqdsdp2q2zl44txadbp/bafkreihknqisorpvu2x3yb2fqblcct5ut73vmv5cpwnklojfkgika3qvpi@jpeg)

This rule just FAILED 214-217. Republican leaders delayed the vote by hours and held it open for an extended time — to no avail. Don Bacon, Kevin Kiley and Thomas Massie voted no, with all Democrats.
The "rule" on the floor today contains this section. Essentially Speaker Johnson is asking the House to vote to prohibit itself from voting on revoking Trump's tariffs through at least July. An extension of what Republicans have previously acceded to. Unclear it'll pass again.

I was thinking how when Scott Adams was about to go and rightwingers were saying “you have no idea what impact it’s going to have when Scott Adams dies, he was loved by millions” and then he just died and nothing happened. These ghouls just disappear when they stop talking
Remember when Charlie Kirk got shot and the right was like "THIS IS CIVIL WAR!" and three weeks later he was completely forgotten about? That's going to be most all the rest of these assholes too

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

I had seen the "hold me in contempt so I can sleep" line, but the whole transcript is striking. Julie Le she tried to quit but then stayed so she could get more people OUT of detention; and expressed concern that her own family might get picked up.
