Republicans have threatened to burn the public including their base many times before. They apparently never expected the Democrats to step back and say "ok let them burn"
Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry.
It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going!

Yikes. USDA sent threatening letter to states telling them that if they sent out EBT money —which many states did during the window when a lower court said SNAP funds had to be released—they have to take it back (?)
Trying to sort out what this means and if states even can claw back the funds

This is the fundamental economic problem with the AI bubble: you have unfathomable amounts of resources being poured into *rapidly depreciating* assets. It's like building a billion Liberty Ships that will only last 5 years, but we're not at war.
Also, I think the complete crash and burn of Stadia et al is relevant here: there’s no reason to assume a priori that this is a technology that people will want to be remote. We’re ten years max away from being able to fit GPT5-equivalent inference on our phones and then what?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The more we want it to be true, the more careful we have to be. No witness's say-so is good enough. People make mistakes.People play practical jokes.People stretch the truth for money or attention or fame.People occasionally misunderstand what they're seeing.People even see things that aren't there.

I have now read a few dozen different takes from Republicans on last night’s election results and none of them have concluded that Trump is responsible for it in any way. Lots of lots of other takes and theories, but none of them include accountability for their infallible hero.

IF the govt stays shut down and congress stays in recess for the next, say 2 months... AND the Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariffs... there's a real chance the incompetent, corrupt idiots in the Trump regime could actually deplete the treasury to the point they can no longer pay

I've been more or less convinced of the inevitability of what I've called the (for lack of a better term) 'christian dominionist civil war' since oh 2009 or so. The precise details are impossible to predict with accuracy, but the trends carry on in the same direction.

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?
A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.
It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.
