We're really doing a secret plan to fight inflation?
What to make of Trump’s purported plan to extend expiring enhanced tax credits for Obamacare for two years?
Republicans are responding with tepid quiet as the president figures out whether to even release the proposal, while Democrats are sounding “encouraged"

Inside Congress’ reaction to Trump’s in-limbo ACA plan
Some Democrats see a path forward. It’s not clear whether Republicans do, too.

Trump: "Instead of pardons, some of my more enthusiastic staffers were already drafting the paperwork to ship Gobble and Waddle straight to the Terrorist Confinement Center in El Salvador."

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

so many people thought they were taking the temperature of America when they were actually marinating their brain in an artificially constructed fake reality on their phones
Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

I know we all knew the "dems go rogue" narrative on ending the shutdown was BS, but still it feels like there should be a bit more scandal around how we've gone from "Schumer knew nothing, these dems acted on their own" to "Schumer blessed the deal and negotiated for its most unpopular provision."

As the Senate tries to defend a million dollar payday to 8 of their own - and as the House GOP tries to explain why they refused to amend the CR to strip it out, let's review exactly what it is they want restitution for. Brief thread:

An executive order to ban state AI laws WOULD BE *FLAGRANTLY* UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

An executive order to ban state AI laws would put the future of the technology in the hands of a few power players
A White House Power Grab on AI Would Be a Huge Mistake
The Senate’s overwhelming rejection in July of a plan to ban states from passing regulations on artificial intelligence — the vote was 99-1 — is now set to be brazenly ignored. The White House is pushing for the measure to be revived and added to the National Defense Authorization Act. If that fails, and it’s a longshot, the president stands ready to sign an executive order essentially forcing it through anyway.

And I’m planning on preempting Hochul’s next rollback of bail reform by scrawling “nuh-uh, no you don’t!” on a used McDonald’s napkin.
I have just as much authority to do that as Trump does, and the napkin would be just as legally binding.

It always amazes me the amount of anti-Trump republicans (and centrist dems) who, regardless of what party they identify with now can be very clear eyed and say things are uniquely and historically bad I must speak out. And then in the next breath refuse to reconsider a single worldview.
