I have not seen one person cheering on DOGE inquire where all the money that’s saved slashing federal programs and jobs is going to be used for. It’s all performative, but that’s what they’re in for. The show.

We only run the heat on one floor and keep it set at 65 just the gas has $400 a month and electric even on the winter is close to $300. New Yorkers, what has your Con Ed bill been running? $8400 a year for utilities is INSANE especially when you’re COLD 😭

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.
Malliotakis: We try to get to the bottom of where this money is going, $50 million for condoms in Gaza, for example. These are real things!
Phillip: We know that there was not $50 million spent for condoms in Gaza. There was $0 spent on condoms in the Middle East. That is a complete lie

When the goal is to beat us down, joy becomes resistance. So tonight, “have a twirl, have a giggle.” Remember what it is we are fighting for.

You know why these guys are so willing to flagrantly and openly break the law? Because they’ve been doing it for years, testing the waters, seeing what they could get away with—and they got away with all of it. This is the consequence of no consequences and an injustice system.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.
Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.
Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

“What we see in this short article is a case of applying a measure to the wrong inputs. This results in a double standard, where humanities are assumed to be an “easy” discipline in which no complexity exists–so complex language is unnecessary.”

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.
