Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ?
Or, Is is that thought so abhorrent, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Even at the expense of staying the minority?

Reddit is huge. But when I signed up, it was just a small Digg clone.

Slack is huge. But when I first signed up, it was just another IRC clone.
So what if your idea already exists. If you think you can do it better, do so.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

Just a reminder that while it may feel good to cheer James Dobson’s death, he had a family who loved him and they are grieving, and that’s also a good reason to cheer.

I heard, somewhere that I can't now find, someone say " whoever in the Trump administration that came up with this idea deserves a raise" , about the European leaders "being invited ".
Or words to that effect.
And no, they weren't maga, they were a journalist.
I legitimately LOL at it.

Actual question: It has been only 72 hours since the disastrous puppeteer/puppet show in Anchorage.
Has there yet been a background story on how, and by whom, this emergency intervention of *eight* big-time world leaders was pulled together, over a weekend?

The purveyors of AI want us to believe that AI is the perfect educator. Because they want us to believe that it's more effective to invest tax dollars in private companies than in public services.
It fucking blows my mind that AI has such a hold on the mind as the perfect educator when it sucks at every pedagogical principle I’ve ever been taught

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it?
That’s Gavin.

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.
The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number
