Washington Post is officially a right-wing mouthpiece.
Honestly, with all this AI shit, Microsoft should bring back Clippy. Screw CoPilot, nobody's flying planes here -- we want wrong answers and useless advice from distressingly chipper office supplies, just like in the good old days.
NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
Even on video game review sites, I get ads for menopause drugs. The algorithm is cruel.
I got a really exciting rock. It's malachite, and it's full of flowers and EXPLOSIONS
FUN FACT: For those keeping score, in President Bidenβs last full month, the U.S. economy added 323,000 jobs. β¬οΈ

Nearly 30 years of online dating has taught me one thing: people with kids really are kind of boring.
People will literally die of cancers and lung disease and have miscarriages because pollution isn't being tracked, let alone remediated.

Mamdani's pledge to lower the cost of living in New York City
Only history's greatest monsters have [squints at Fox News graphic] addressed the cost of living in practical ways.
nothing has reinforced my belief that NYC did the right thing like seeing just how upset all the worst people in the world are over it
Maybe the lesson of Mamdani's win is that the time has finally come for the Democratic Party to side with the young in the party's generational split, keeping drifting allies rather than trying to find an inoffensive middle ground.

meme format where a man from an anime is looking at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon, but instead the man is Americans, the butterfly is labeled "basic human rightsβ and the quote is "is this communism?"
probably a good time to bring this back
As donors try to assess their next moves in the mayoral race, one of the biggest donors to Andrew Cuomoβs super PAC, the investor Mark Gorton, said he is likely to back Mamdani. That is because of the support that Mamdani had gotten from Brad Lander, who Gorton said he ranked first. βI feel like people misunderstood my $250,000 for Cuomo for real enthusiasm,β Gorton said in an interview. βIt was basically, βOh, looks like Cuomo is coming back. We donβt want to be shut out. Letβs try and get on his good side.β Thatβs kind of how things work with Cuomo. Itβs sad political pragmatism. I wish we lived in a world where those sort of things were not useful things to do.β
Honestly, this made me laugh out loud (maybe it was more of a horrified cynical rattle). Points for honesty!
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.Β
Β
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Β
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Thereβs a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around βliberalβ as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
I know no one's going to hear this, but Dems, *listen to your voters* for a change. Mamdani is your candidate, chosen by the people! Don't let NYC go the way of Buffalo, with a corrupt "independent" mayor over a well-liked, effective, morally upright one who happens to be left of center!
Hoo hoo hoo
Dem Socialist won the NYC mayoral primary!
Maybe the pendulum really will swing back.
