  • Trump admin goes after N.Y. AG who won civil fraud trial against president

    Jump

  • Okay, so who in the government is responsibility for preventing politicians from going after their political enemies? Who isn’t doing their job right now?

    If it’s just the courts, we’re fucked. They’re overworked and legal cases take way too long to stop this. And of course congress is bought and paid for.

    So the constitution was built to fail. Got it.

    Hong Kong suspends postal service to the US after Trump’s tariff hikes

  • Stupid economy-destroying pissing game aside, I wonder if this bullshit will be a net positive for the environment. Fewer rare minerals mined, fewer gas/coal-sucking boats making the trip across the ocean full of single-use plastic products and fast fashion, etc.

  • Japan sees record drop in population – DW

    Jump

  • Society will just reorganize to provide. There are a ton of bullshit jobs out there that don’t need to be filled. The higher pay (specifically designed to be high to attract workers) will attract people to work the homes.

  • Nah, tax the billionaires to bring money back to the working class and to fund the nursing homes. There are enough resources to support an elderly population, it’s all just being hoarded by assholes.

  • I assume “grown”—or “born and raised—in America.

    AKA: US citizens.

  • Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands

    Jump

  • Government research money and other grants aside, if the government stops giving FAFSA money to a college, a massive source of the college’s income stream halts, preventing them from paying employees and keeping the lights on, and preventing a vast majority of students from stepping foot on campus.

    That being said, if the college can convince donors to reorganize endowment money in order to tell Trump to go fuck himself, I support that college 💯

  • Trump Wants to Reverse Coal’s Long Decline. It Won’t be Easy. | Coal has been displaced by cheap and plentiful natural gas and the rapid growth of wind and solar energy

    Jump

  • Who convinced Trump that coal is worth going back to and what false data/logic did they use?

    I didn’t even know coal companies made enough money to lobby, anymore.

  • Ukraine war briefing: Ukraine could be partitioned like Berlin after second world war, says US envoy

    Jump

  • Because that worked so well before.

  • Federal government to end use of paper checks for tax refunds, social security – NBC Chicago

    Jump

  • Yeah, in the USA, religious beliefs are held in more importance than the right to access basic survival resources.

  • Social Security lists thousands of living immigrants as dead to prompt them to leave, AP sources say

    Jump

  • They’re convinced that these immigrants are in the system because they’re illegally receiving benefits as illegal aliens.

  • Yeah, and most non-Nazis have long left the platform and deleted their account. The log-in issue is a huge one. It effectively blocks a massive portion of the US from getting important information about money that is theirs.

  • Mangione attorneys ask judge to stop federal prosecutors from seeking death penalty: "A political stunt"

    Jump

  • Definitely. Things politicians say make a lot more sense when you realize that code speak.

    It kind of always has been this way. “The people,” “Americans,” “White people,” etc have always been defined arbitrarily, and always in American history have referred to wealthy landowners who adhered to a puritan work ethic and a supposed “Anglo-Saxon” culture.

  • Federal judge refuses to block immigration enforcement operations in houses of worship

    Jump

  • I’m torn on this. Like I don’t like giving churches special rights, but also, it’s great that many are trying to protect immigrants and I want to keep those safe spaces.

  • US jobless benefit applications rise modestly as labor market remains largely unfazed by trade war

    Jump

  • But applications are rising.

  • Trump admin considering giving $10,000 to each person in Greenland to annex the island

    Jump

  • Oh definitely. I think they’re being offered a horrible deal. But I can see how some might be inclined to take the shitty deal if their current financial situation is in fact one of desperation. I hope their citizens are in better shape than Americans.

  • DoJ Won’t Comply With Order on Kilmar Abrego Garcia: Live Updates

    Jump

  • I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”

  • Social Security lists thousands of living immigrants as dead to prompt them to leave, AP sources say

    Jump

  • I wish they included “legal” in the headline. Would make a world of difference to centrists.

  • Trump admin considering giving $10,000 to each person in Greenland to annex the island

    Jump

  • Desperate is the right word, and I think they’re intending to make people more desperate in order to exert control.

    I’m not saying a $10k gift would be life-changing, but it would pay off a significant amount of my debt, freeing up a lot of my monthly cash flow.
