I'm a liberal. Capitalism is good but public health care and other welfare programs are good. A sovereign wealth plan is a good idea to partially fund these programs. Trump is not a good President.

Every day — sometimes multiple times per day — this absurd malevolent figure lies outrageously or delusionally about something. There's never been anyone like this in national politics.
Trump: "They have very very corrupt elections. If California were honest -- if they had an honest vote count -- I would have won it by a lot"

The hyperpartisan brain is a wondrous thing. In every online rightwing neighborhood, you will find declarations that the right needs to become as ruthless as the left, and in every online leftwing neighborhood, you will find declarations that the left needs to become as ruthless as the right. A few examples of the right's ruthlessness and will to power that may have slipped CAP's mind: The famed Garland-Gorsuch-Barrett sequence, withholding lower court seats during the final two years of the Obama administration, state-level court packing, various redistricting a gerrymandering maneuvers, GOP legislatures stripping various incoming Democratic governors of certain provisions of power, and, of course, the various elements now collectively referred to as "1/6".
Libs have a will to power, a ruthless and transgressiveness, that the right simply does not have. Libs will talk about ‘norms’ and demand respectability but when it comes down to it there’s really nothing they won’t do, particularly if they fear they’re losing.

If Democrats win next week’s election, their agenda is clear: to go after the President, his family, and his administration.

While there is a bunch of Mass Effect discourse happening I would just like to say that I don't think it's talked about enough how horribly tedious the mineral scanning was in ME2. You had to spend so much time doing this mindnumbingly boring trash to get worthwhile upgrades.

Seems smart.
BREAKING: House Democrats have preemptively introduced a resolution to stop the federal government from bailing out AI companies in the event of the industry collapsing. The bill says these companies should be subjected to the ordinary bankruptcy process.

It’s a good start.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: If Democrats win the 2026 midterms, they plan to pass a bill called the Alex Pretti Act that will end qualified immunity for ICE agents, allowing them to be sued or jailed for wrongdoing

Shit is getting weird. Trump's war to replace "AI" with "SI" is insanely goofy. It achieves nothing. Gas is up 40% from a year ago, the Iran War is dragging on, and he's talking about men's hot butts and changing AI's name. Even fans gotta wonder if he's lost his mind.
