I'm willing to humor every person that says "primary them all!" on one condition: they have to support the eventual winner with their whole chest. No more mealy-mouthed bullshit about "your candidate" being screwed. If you want unconditional party support, you'd best be willing to give it.

If retaking the Senate isn't important, it means you're ok losing more seats to republicans, and buddy, that makes you indistinguishable from a republican.
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

This attitude about churches is baffling and WAY more prevalent than I expected. Having tax-exempt status doesn't make you a charity ATM for anyone who expresses a need. Churches are allowed to screen for scammers. They are not required to give cash to everyone who calls.
Because they are tax exempt. Lose the tax exemption and they can contribute or not to whoever they want.

This person's definition of "purity tests" involves very basic measures to make sure the church isn't getting scammed, something you or I are allowed to do but mysteriously churches are not.
Apparently calling churches with a fake story about a baby to "test their faith" is *not* a purity test...

But I'm curious, do you donate to every account that comes along on this app asking for money? If not, why not? And why aren't churches allowed to use that same discretion?

Saw a pair of bike shoes online that run 2 grand, so that’s something that’s happening.

Welp, looks like an Axios article is going to make this app unusable for the next while, see y'all on the flip side.

On TikTok there's a woman doing a fairly shitty scam operation. She's cold-calling churches around the US and lying about having a baby to catch them in "gotcha" moments when they kindly treat her like a scammer. It makes me wish we could strip TikTok accounts from users that harass other people.

This is like going to Disney World and getting in an argument with the hologram of Walt Disney and threatening it, then backing off because you're worried the hologram might kick you out of the park.
If this is a serious question, I wanted to see how it handled US v Soviet history. The result was worse than I had even expected. I decided not to block it because I assume that would nuke me in the algorithm.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

This is amazing because he just acknowledges that Dems are fighting for people to keep their healthcare. It doesn't matter what the percentage is, ANYONE who hears this message and is struggling to make ends meet will know which side is trying to help them.
Thune: Democrats are fighting for a fraction of a fraction, for a tiny percentage of the small percentage of Americans who are on Obamacare.

This question is similar to that old chestnut: "how many YouTube video descriptions can my 10yo give before I simply pass away".
how does my 4-year-old niece wake up every day ready to talk constantly until she goes to bed?

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Trump at the end just staring into the middle distance as photographers snap pics of a dude who fainted. Christ, we are ruled by the dregs of society.

Keep in mind, this is all happening IN HIS CITY! There is precisely 0 chance this doesn't hit home for him. We are closer than I imagined to the Pope himself pulling up to a detention center to personally deliver the eucharist.
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

You really can see the WoT paralells in the extraordinary rendition and how the administration has been using ICE, if we want to just string the line between Cheney and How We Ended Up Here
