There are individual exceptions but as an institution the Democratic party just seems like it's on its last legs, or maybe past that point. A party that views its role as a custodial one just isn't cut out for this century

If they are acting the way "bad faith leftists" assume they act, maybe the leftists were simply correct? In fact, if you look at the leftist sentiment on everything this past election cycle, they have the single most accurate track record of anyone else.
Maybe it's just salient analysis.

Schumer's favored candidates did very poorly on Tuesday, why would he read the results as "working"
Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???
Sen. Angus King on why Democrats caved: "It wasn't working."

Gotta wonder if part of the reason they want the military involved in every aspect of federal government is because of their future plans
Sean Duffy: "The secretary of war texted me yesterday and said, 'I might have some air traffic controllers. If you could use them, I'm gonna offer them to you.' I don't know that I can, Jake, because they're not certified in the airspaces that we need them. But if I can, I'm going to use them."

That mortgage scandal is the zenith of hustle grind culture. Maybe it is the largest episode but I doubt it is anywhere close to the only instance in this current market. It is, quite literally, crime season in the USA.

Something crazy about the US and international copyright enforcement regime is that they consistently criminalize digital archiving when it is done for pro-social reasons, but consistently protect the reuse of archived materials by other parties when it is for commercial reasons

Oh — the situation has escalated.
Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

I was assigned at my old job to work on a pharmaceutical brand, and over time, the experience began to feel increasingly predatory. After a year and a half, I made the decision to leave both the company and the advertising industry altogether.
There are strict rules about what drug companies can say in TV or print ads. But a new study shows there's a lot more wiggle room when companies pay to sponsor online search results. n.pr/4hCGlm4
