There are 19 states that have a congressional recall process. Citizens need to recall Republican congresspeople that do not represent their constituents. Otherwise, we’ll be waiting until the midterm elections to flip seats.

She refused to allow ICE to enter homes, or turn over immigrants, without a warrant. It doesn’t sound like much, but there are plenty of mayors that are giving them free rein.

Wu absolutely killed it. I hope she runs for Congress. If you haven’t watched the hearing, I highly recommend it.

That’s how it started in the US in 2015. It’s like our parents became different people overnight.

I misunderstood “poor storage” as a temperature. Sure, if you don’t seal the container and an abundance of moisture is able to enter, that could cause spoilage. So if OP doesn’t keep their honey in a bucket in the basement they should be fine.

That’s an old wives’ tale. Honey never spoils, it crystallizes. All you need to do is heat it to liquify. 3000 year old honey was found in an Egyptian tomb, and was still edible.

You’re right. That is a better analogy.

Obama created United States Digital Service (USDS) in 2014. It was meant as a bureaucratic patch job to fix the Obamacare website meltdown.

Fast forward to 2025. Trump rebrands it DOGE (United States DOGE Service). Keeps the acronym, keeps the funding, but gives it a whole new mission: Find the Receipts

So Obama created DOGE like socialism created the Nazis.

This New Yorker is a big fan of this part:

BC Premier David Eby was even more forceful in his own remarks as he promised the immediate removal from the province’s liquor stores of products from red states. “We understand who is attacking us,” he said. “We understand where this is coming from. We want to send a message particularly to those governors, to those congresspeople.”

It’s his selflessness in putting his people first that speaks the most to me. He exemplifies a civil servant. He even referred to himself as a manager of Ukraine, respecting his position as temporary, and wanting to be good to the next manager after him.

Vanguard and State Street too. All three together run the US, thanks to Reagan’s privatization of retirement accounts.

The bar was raised while Tate was in Romania. He’s gonna have to step it up to fit in now. A couple of swastika neck tattoos ought to do it.

DEI does not influence hiring or firing. The right intentionally conflates DEI, which is creating an inclusive work environment, with affirmative action. The latter was a set of policies that required special consideration for marginalized groups when hiring, and was repealed by SCOTUS in 2023.

As a former corporate manager, I can say first hand that DEI has been a focus in respectable institutions for much longer than the term has existed. The best way to stagnate your business is to hire a bunch of like-minded people and make them all think and act alike.

This can’t be good for insurance rates on Teslas.

That’s called a jeanis.
