  • The Supreme Court’s rebuff of Trump is more ominous than it looks

    Jump

  • So, four... FOUR supreme court justices think it is okay for the US government to fail to pay it's debts to an AIDS prevention organization for work they had ALREADY DONE!

    What the fuck happened to this country?

    As a side note, how long before Trump starts calling SCOTUS illigitimate if they keep ruling against him?

  • HELP HIM

    Jump

  • This actually gives me anxiety. I imagine getting stuck that way.

  • Donald Trump approval rating goes negative for first time in presidency

    Jump

  • You have to be credulous and in a news bubble that tells you he's only doing good things. Either that or you need to be completely disconnected from the news; I think many are.

  • Not getting that back

    Jump

  • It's kind of funny until you think about what happens when they bite into it. That will become a very spicy clam. I hope someone notified the staff while everyone else watched.

  • Trump administration questions federal employees’ use of official time for union activities

    Jump

  • He's got plenty of cronies who can cause chaos while he golfs.

  • FDA cancels meeting to select flu strains for next season's shots

    Jump

  • I wonder, how many countries rely on the recommendations of the FDA to determine which vaccine strains to put in their vaccines for the year. Does Canada?

  • 98.7 Percent Of Deere Shareholders Reject Anti-DEI Resolution

    Jump

  • That's interesting. The vast majority, about 83%, of their shareholders are large institutional shareholders like Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase. Would those be who voted in this?

  • ‘I can’t get a straight answer from you’: Judge loses patience with Trump admin lawyer for repeatedly ignoring court order unfreezing USAID funds, issues harsh evidentiary demands

    Jump

  • He also probably thinks that he is going to get a cushy job for his sacrifice. Hopefully Trump refuses to pay in the end, like normal, and this guy speaks out after getting screwed.

  • 1987

  • What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?

  • Patel tells FBI staff to ignore Musk’s email as signs of power struggle emerges

    Jump

  • I can't imagine this is a legal way to get rid of federal employees. Hell, I doubt this is a legal way to get rid of ANY employees.

  • Oops: Senate Democrats regret voting for some Trump Cabinet nominees

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't get this. Some of the answers these people gave, when they gave answers, we're abhorrent. I don't understand why Republicans were unwilling to push for better nominees.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'll be 58 when my boy is 19... Gotta get in shape!

  • USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them

    Jump

  • I suspect this is the goal here. Cut goverents services, figure out which parts squeak, then hire contractors to do that work at massive profits while either receiving kickbacks or just winning through insider trading.

    Ultimately, it probably will lead to higher goverents costs.

  • Washington Post Cancels Ad From Groups Calling for Trump to Fire Musk

    Jump

  • NYT wasn't brave enough to even give a link to the ad in their article.

  • Israel to confiscate a thousand hectares of Palestinian land in West Bank

    Jump

  • This is not intended to minimize the fact that Israel is stealing Palastinian land. It is wrong for them to do so, wrong for them to run an apartheid regime,and very o viously wrong for them to commit genocide. This is just intended to give perspective to the size of the land they're illegally taking this time.

    1000 hectares is about 0.17% of the west bank.

  • Judge Refuses to Immediately Reinstate Inspectors General Fired by Trump

    Jump

  • It has nothing to do with the jusldge's feelings.whats the point in issuing a Temporary Restraining Order 21 days after the fact when it is moot 30 days after? A TRO on day 1 would have made sense. A TRO on day 21 does nothing but add to the chaos. They are still going forward with other legal arguments but the TRO served no purpose at this point.

  • Judge Refuses to Immediately Reinstate Inspectors General Fired by Trump

    Jump

  • The judge needs a motion in front of them to consider. Waiting 21 days to ask for a temporary restraining order in an action that would take effect after 30 days shows a lack of urgency on the part of the plaintiffs and the burden was on the plaintiffs to show urgency in the case.

    This is like a little kid watching their brother eat their candy for five minutes, then complaining to their parents when the candy is almost gone.

    Don't get me wrong, Trump's actions here were illegal, but the plaintiffs needed to bring their motion for a TRO fast enough that it wasn't nearly moot by the time they did.

  • Judge Refuses to Immediately Reinstate Inspectors General Fired by Trump

    Jump

  • I think the point is, the plaintiffs are telling the judge "this is of the utmost urgency" 21 days after the fact. The judge feels that, if the plaintiffs really felt that it was that urgent they should have acted with urgency themselves. So the judge is giving their request the same level of urgency that they did themselves.

    If they had made a similar motion the day after the firing took place, their motion might have been granted, but this seems like a case of "too little too late".

  • Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

    Jump

  • Do you want the entire article in the headline or something? Go read the article and the journal article that it cites. They expand upon all of those terms.

    Also, I'm genuinely curious, what do you mean when you say that there is "No such thing AS "AI""?
