Yeah, we know.

We knew it was going to spread on spring break, and it’s going to spread more when the college kids head home for the summer. :/

They were already classified when they sent the information. Your can’t retroactively declassify something.

I really wish the signs didn’t say “paid for by Canada” on them, or at least not so prominently. Because I just know some people are going to read it as “tariffs are a tax on Americans paid for by Canada”.

Is it going to change their vote? Is it going to get them on their phones to demand action from their senators and representatives? Is it going to drive them into the streets to demand change? Then why the fuck should I care what they think?

Funny how they couldn’t do that with the Kia and Hyundai things a few years ago …

Republican Utah Senator John Curtis said on Meet the Press on Sunday: "We’re not being honest when we look people in the eye and say we’re not going to touch [Social Security]. If we don’t touch it, it touches itself. You know that, right?

Social Security would’ve been fine if they didn’t keep raiding it for spending money :(

I believe he said that he logged out of the chat as soon as he verified the texts were real, and that the texts in the chat were set to auto-delete in 1 to 4 weeks (different texts set to expire at different times).

New Jersey tried to pass a similar law a couple years ago, but it didn’t pass :(

Based on an article I read over the weekend: There’s a treaty where they get a certain amount of water from the Colorado and we get a certain amount of water from the Rio Grande. It’s supposed to be roughly the same amount of water per year, but they wrote the treaty to operate on a five-year cycle so things could be adjusted if there was a drought.

The US government is claiming (and I have no idea if this is true or not) that Mexico regularly undersupplies water for the first four treaty years and then desperately tries to make up the deficit in the fifth year, leaving US farmers with farms suffering from insufficient water for four years and then too much access to water the final year.

Why do these things seem to happen so much in Pennsylvania? From the Toynbee tiles to the steel furnace letters, why does it seem we get so much weird shit?

Sure. Outraged over an inadvertent leak, but totally fine arming a country committing genocide, trying to strong-arm the victim of relentless aggression into giving up 1/5th of it’s territory, letting disease spread freely in the nation, detaining people without charges, kidnapping people off the streets and deporting then to violent foreign prisoners without due process, weakening our defense industry, alienating every ally and partner we have on the planet, threatening to annex countries, starting trade wars, taking away women’s healthcare, threatening the most vulnerable members of society, etc etc etc. All that other stuff is fine, but sure, let’s raise holy hell over an inadvertent leak.

If you scream, you’re a fraudster and don’t deserve the money; if you don’t scream, we won’t know about it to reinstate it and you probably didn’t need it anyway. Either way, we win!

I swear, this sounds like dunking witches ‘logic’ …

If she’s not going out now, fighting and making the case against and rallying the troops against Trump and fascism now, I’m not interested in her.

I mean, I hate everything about RFK and his actions, but surely the US pharmaceutical business has enough money to invest in an exciting new and very lucrative new technology …
