I think it’s fine that Taylor Swift is excited about middle aged long term relationship sex and talks about it in a way that makes other people feel slightly embarrassed, that’s basically the dream for everyone

Watching this particular brand of tail chasing is interesting.
I remember people being told they were overreacting. You thought a bunch of racists who hate the poor would just cut waste and not view the whole program as a waste. That’s an interesting choice.

Honestly unlikely anyone called this combo, because no-one knew what DOGE would do. Project 2025 called for cutting USAID, but not for eliminating it.

its hard to imagine a more embarrassing unforced error for the Dems than the "ban TikTok" fiasco.
Not only did they alienate youth voters, openly waffle on the First Amendment and let Trump claim to be the defender of "free speech," now they've literally handed the platform to Trump to control

In response to our advocacy, the southern Cascades Sierra Nevada red fox just moved closer towards protection under the Endangered Species Act!
The USFWS announced positive 90-day findings on them and now has one year to decide whether to protect these animals.
