Reminding everyone once again that it's really really REALLY fucking easy to properly appoint US attorneys. It takes a special level of incompetence to screw the process up once, let alone this many times.

And the poll numbers are all over the place for the Democrats, but remarkably consistent for the Republicans.

Generic polling for what? The House?

JFC. Every single Dem polling in single digits needs to drop out yesterday. The only thing worse than Steyer would be a Republican winning due to California's moronic jungle primary.

Why Congress keeps handing Trump its power Trump’s second presidency has accelerated the growth of executive power at the expense of the legislative branch, raising concerns about the balance of powers.

β€œBut I think Madison never imagined or envisioned a Congress with no ambition…This is a Congress without really a belief structure in defending legislative prerogative. They just are a rubber stamp for whatever a president tells them to do.”

Speaking as a GenXer it’s really damned depressing to think that the most famous member of our generation is Elon fucking Musk

The official statement from Grammarly is so typical of AI boosters/tech companies of late. β€˜Sure, we’re resurrecting the dead to exploit them for a few dollars and the β€˜experts’ have no idea we’re using their names and reputations, but we hoped to make more money before anyone really noticed’
