On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.
That was poetry in motion...
Al Jazeera screened it.
...and Trudeau has bounced the ball right back at him. The first world leader to stand up.
The individuals can check their voter status. They will win here if we don't stand up...obviously following the American lead.
A stats professional has studied the results and concluded that strategic purging of voter rolls had a big effect in the swing states.
The kind of press I want to see
This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.
This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.
Fuck off Ted Cruz
If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?
I mean this respectfully what do you expect from the Herald? What are you looking at it for? It’s long been a tool for the right, stop expecting it to be different.
Aotearoa. I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to read this and connect that it’s exactly how our summer has been with submissions. Also how we just did all this self organising. It. Is. The. Same. Playbook. #NZPol
I find Ghahraman’s economics misguided, her views on Gaza appalling and her cheering every passing progressive cause insincere. But that is nothing to my disgust at those who revel in her destruction, who believe that the way to achieve political victory is to break your opponents, or that a moral failure in one aspect of your life invalidates your politics, career and even existence. Take a step back and look at this woman’s career. It is impressive. Read her book; it will surprise you with her self-awareness, her struggles to find herself and the insecurities that, knowing what we now know, are prescient. And then a cknowledge that she wrote a book. Consider that she arrived her as a young child, cut adrift from the world she’d known and forged her own path to parliament, one that went through Oxford University and the war crimes tribunals of Rwanda and Cambodia.
The editor of the Post and SST replied to criticism of her paper's coverage of Ms Ghahraman with an intemperate rant to the effect that "this is how you get Trump!!!"
Turns out Stuff's most right wing columnist, of all people, can see the problem with their coverage. Watkins should reflect on that.
A snapshot.
What it looks like when ppl like Jago wreak their havoc.
A men’s group.
They’re telling their truth.
97% have been SAed.
All of them have been in prison.
All of them are recovering addicts.
None of them have yet found their peace.
Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24.
Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29.
Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39.
Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.”

There is only one word for that...disgusting.
I hope the people in parliament trying to push for New Zealand to adopt an American-style health insurance system are realising right now *just how hated* they'd become if they succeeded
A real “fiscally conservative” party would not spend taxpayer
money and Parliamentary time to make a junior coalition member feel like a big and important boy, but then we all know that “fiscally conservative” actually means “loot the public purse”.
You had a govt which despite the global fucking pandemic & supply chain chaos still managed to have one of the best economic outcomes and you’ve all just got the absolute hots for going back to lower wages & without cause dismissals before 90 days.
Danger sticker on a pole that says "The rich won't save us, no matter how much we cut their taxes"
"The rich won't save us, no matter how much we cut their taxes"
Sticker seen in Chicago
People on the ground said the sound was that of an incoming Israeli missile, not a rocket.
A referendum on on the treaty and co-governance would be the most destructive thing this country has ever done. By fuck I hope Luxon has the balls to turn this down.
Lamia Imam on Twitter: "Disabled people are begging us to vote in a way that means they can keep being alive and landlords are asking us to vote in a way so they don’t have to move overseas lol the difference"
This is the best summation of this election that I have seen. Please vote accordingly.
I doubt you could get a single bedleg of lamb for that.
I thought she was hanging in for the Judiciary Committee because Mitch wouldn't allow a dem to replace her.
There is a long list of what they HAVE done, so look it up .
...and thus over 50k migrate to here overnight.
