Imagine how deeply flawed Republican Senate candidate, Ken Paxton, must be to be trailing a Democrat in Texas. And to beg for more campaign donations in a state that's really run by a few hundred wealthy families. Sad.
"Underage girls tested positive for pregnancy" is such a weirdly malicious way to say "ICE kidnapped and then raped a bunch of children."
TIL that the term "Jaywalking" was invented in the 1920s by the auto industry to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians.

These stupid fucks are so oblivious. Y'all want another war? We won't be as generous and forgiving next time around. Fuck the Confederacy and their conservative slave-owning oligarchs.
Best way to describe it: Pam Bondi was a step down from former Attorneys General, but Todd Blanche is a fall down a flight of stairs.
The war in Iran is going badly, the Epstein files are still hidden, inflation is way up and the world is moving on without us.
But the USDS's legacy is bitter. In 2025, USDS was effectively dismantled and replaced with DOGE, Elon Musk's handpicked team of tech-bro cultists who set out to dismantle as much of the US government as possible, deliberately sabotaging the usability of America's governmental systems to make it harder for the public to access the services they are entitled to and pay for with their taxes.

Under Click to Cancel, companies are required to create one-click workflows to cancel subscriptions and memberships, ending the pernicious, incredibly profitable practice of trapping people with impossible-to-halt recurring billings. Today, Khan is running Mamdani's Economic Development Board, and her Click to Cancel rule is back - for New Yorkers, at least:

American voters spared as GOP Senate unable to pass truncated version of voter suppression bill.
"The GOP leaders agreed to attempt to vote on the full SAVE America Act bill when the Senate reconvenes in early September.”
Let’s get this clear in everyone’s heads.
Assume a coup attempt in 2028-29. Not a guarantee, but it’d be naively complacent not to take it as a very serious possibility, and prepare in advance.
Because we already saw them try a coup when they were in a weaker position.
Armed takeover of DC might not only be coup prep, but it’s coup prep.

If nothing else good comes of this, the most likely outcome, perhaps archaeologists will have a field day exploring Europe's dried up rivers and lakes.

Words fail, again.
When I had to replace my car a couple of years ago, "no touchscreen and as little mandatory computer use as possible" was a primary criterion.
A new Alberta (Canada) company was started to produce a no-computer tractor, and they almost instantly sold out everything they had planned to manufacture in the first 2 or 3 years.
I think car companies could learn a thing or seventeen from that.
