Three things of note: This is a list of long-time registered voters - literally 20 years plus - who have yet to comply with a later regulation requiring proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections. The presidential ballot was always going to be open to this group, this ruling just gives them local ballot access too. Republicans outnumber Democrats on this list by 33%.

You want climate change? I’ll show you climate change….

@Mik said in McCarthy gets blunt: Yes, but he was foolish to agree to the terms. This.

Not half bad.

Trump's current China tariffs that Biden never repealed and which Harris is running against, are a carrot/stick deal where China can buy more of our stuff to lower the tariff. I expect this thing that is being framed as a 20% tariff on everything might also in practice be a carrot/stick. If it were as simple as a flat 20% on every import, then it's not surprising that economists would hate it unanimously.

How were the twins delivered? Hard to imagine squeezing two fused heads through vaginal birth, so for the sake of the mother I hope it was C-section. Before "modern medicine" mother and head-fused twins would like just all die during attempt at childbirth and you would not need "modern medicine" to surgically separate the twins later. "What monsters would separate two sisters?!" Oh, that's who ... ... the operation was arranged by a charity called Gemini Untwined, which specializes in treating and researching craniopagus twins — children born with fused skulls, intertwined brains, and shared blood vessels. The founder of the charity, British paediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Owase Jeelani, led the operation that successfully separated Minal and Mirha.

@Jolly said in The scene in Fairfax County: No, Do you mean, "No, the report had not effect on people voting pattern?"

They’re all cut of whole cloth.

@Horace said in Ten Months?: He will be non verbal in four years. i wouldn't doubt it. I feel a more tired just listening to him.

Lion ain't bad if you cook it right.

@jon-nyc said in It's Morning in America: https://x.com/KAErdmann/status/1836468686565314711 Great! Let’s take a deeper dive. We know that much of the GDP growth recently has been driven by new jobs, right? We also know that the vast majority of new jobs over the past three years have gone to foreign born workers… Oh, I know WaPo and Politifact have both fact checked that claim by pretending the workers returning to their pre-existing jobs post-COVID are new jobs, but we can all be honest here. So the real improvement for most Americans by the great economic conditions has only been in their retirement accounts thanks to S&P gains. Except, those gains have been mitigated for many/most(?) as they have been pulling money from those accounts in alarming amounts to pay bills. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-more-americans-are-making-hardship-withdrawals-from-retirement-accounts So you can claim it’s a good morning, but most Americans aren’t feeling it. And now, as it turns out, a significant amount of the foreign born labor market has been little better than chattel slavery or indentured servitude. https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/375011/feds-and-state-ag-investigate-an-alleged-human-trafficking-empire-run-in-springfield-ohio/ Now this is only Springfield, but the story is the same in Charleroi, and countless other small communities. A real hard look is being taken at countless migrant staffing agencies in the US, and so far it’s looking bad. Very bad. It was a good morning in the 1840s, too, back when Cotton was King.

It doesn't sound very romantic to me.
