    Federal court deals devastating blow to Voting Rights Act

    Jump

  • Just our court system ruling for fascism, nothing to see here folks.

    I mean, I’m no lawyer, but the idea that only the DOJ has standing when gerrymandering has an actual, tangible effect on individual voters seems absurd on its face.

  • Chair of Party That Lost Big on Abortion Says 'We Can Win' on Abortion

    Jump

  • Anybody else catch this opinion article The Hill posted the other day? Truly fucking incredible how Republicans will lie right to our faces about what their stances are on abortion.

    First it was “states rights”, which was immediately followed by “time for a nationwide ban” after Dobbs.
 When it actually came time for states rights on abortion, it was immediately followed by “we’re gonna do everything we can to stop this” when they lost on it.
 Now they want to try to downplay what they really mean by “abortion restrictions” when everyone can plainly see their actions belie their words.
 They really think we’re fucking dumb, don’t they?

  • More fruit pouches for kids are being recalled because of illnesses that are linked to lead

    Jump

  • There sure is a lot of shit out there that seems to expose kids to lead. If there were ever a conspiracy that I could believe almost immediately, it would be that hostile governments (or some other entity that benefits from poisoning our youth, I don’t know, I’m not w conspiracy scientist) are finding ways to put lead in all our products as a way to dumb us all down.

  • George Santos is refunding more money than he’s raising

    Jump

  • What do you mean? Who wouldn’t donate to the great George Santos, Lincoln’s vice president and the inventor of the airbag, potentially saving millions of lives??

  • Readers prefer ChatGPT over Wikipedia

    Jump

  • This reminds me of my ex, who stated "I HATE Wikipedia" because "it looks dumb" when I mentioned it in passing.

    She really earned that "ex" title...

  • Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

    Jump

  • Right, it was a quintessential FAFO situation there.

    However, what now? We’re still staring down a shutdown very soon. I’d just like to know Hakeem’s got a plan, y’know?

  • Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

    Jump

  • What is the better alternative? What if there isnt a speaker by the time the stop gap measure expires?

    I have this same question too, and - with all due respect - it would be nice if someone had a response other than blaming Republicans and just leaving it at that (I mean, it’s absolutely their fault, but it doesn’t answer the real question).

    It would be nice to know Dems have a plan after taking this action. I’m fairly certain they do, but best I can do now is guess how it might play out. Not reassuring…

  • Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

    Jump

  • I can’t shake the bad feeling that the timing is going to be a real problem once shutdown time rolls around here in less than 40-ish days. What if we don’t even have a fucking speaker at all by then??

    There is the possibility that Dems coordinate a vote with the not-Freedom Caucus GOP to elect the least disagreeable candidate, though…

  • AOC Says She Would ‘Absolutely’ Vote to Oust ‘Very Weak’ Speaker McCarthy

    Jump

  • This is so true I didn’t even realize how fucking upside down the whole thing is until reading your comment. It didn’t even occur to me the idea of her resignation over Beetlegate because the idea of her doing so is just outside the realm of reality. It’s just “oh sorry, I let my morals lapse there for a bit, my bad!” and no one bats an eye.

    This is fucking crazy! This is from the party of “gotta protect the kids”, just groping and fondling at a family event!

    What the fuck.

  • Scathing court ruling on Donald Trump’s empire is a bitter blow to his successful tycoon persona

    Jump

  • Noticing a lot of people on Lemmy scoffing at this development, which I suppose is their right. But you know what? I see this as a real win; Trump Org no longer being able to operate in NY is a big fucking deal.

    Yes, he’ll likely make up the difference through donations from his rabid base. No, they won’t know about it because the right wing disinfo machine won’t tell them.

    So what? It’s a fucking win, nonetheless. It ain’t shooting him and his ill gotten gains into the sun, but it is very well the first of a series of deathblows.

    Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and all that.

  • Ah, I see how my comment is worded as though I was potentially trying to tie this guy to Zelensky. I understood they weren’t “related“, but I didn’t understand the Ukrainian context of the old Nazi guy.
