If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Oh, fuck that. Avoiding shit like this is why we pay a premium for Apple products!
This could be part of a larger strategy to introduce more advertising in iOS.

I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.
SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.
that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.
but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

This. Anyone who thinks we’re going to “take back the House” in the midterms and somehow magically fix everything back to “normal” is delusional. Nothing short of a general strike and a people-led revolt is going to change anything at this point.

With her everywoman background, polarising views and nationalistic flair, she is of the global political zeitgeist. But her brand of conservatism is older-school

Hawkish on security policy, dovish on fiscal policy and traditionalist on social policy, she will move her country to the right

As a private citizen, Trump claimed he was entitled to money from the U.S. government.
Now as president, he could authorize a taxpayer-funded payout to himself, possibly over $100 million, with no obligation to disclose it if structured as a settlement.

Trump has claimed millions from the government. He has power to order payment.
President has claimed he was damaged by investigations and wants compensation. “It sort of looks bad. I’m suing myself,” he acknowledged.

Much of the White House's East Wing was torn down to make way for President Trump’s planned ballroom.

An absolute tragedy for Japan that this is the person who will be remembered as the first female PM in the country’s history.
Japan's parliament elects ultraconservative Sanae Takaichi as the country’s first female prime minister. Takaichi, the head of the struggling Liberal Democratic Party, replaces Shigeru Ishiba, who was forced into resignation after two disastrous election losses.
