The difference between DSA and regular lib scandals is so stark
"i raped and beat a bunch of women but they were Republicans"
Vs
"My staffer was useless and I told him so"

i hate Flock as much as the next girl, but this is simply a completely broken criminal justice system, from cops to prosecutors to jailers. no actual police work happened here. and then they tortured her.
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash.
Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours.
She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused.
At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges.
Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

Unfortunately for Republicans, the situation is very easy to describe:
1. Trump won a cost-of-living election
2. Then he publicly announced a plan to raise the price of imports
3. Then he even-more-publicly started a war that raised the price of gas
4. Meanwhile, he got rich on crypto scams, while engaging in downright Pynchonian misadventures with the reflecting pool and ballroom, which sent the unmistakeable signal that "I care more about random bullshit than America's money problems ... and also I'm not even good at executing on the random bullshit"

Marco Rubio: "The one thing we are concerned about, however, is that over the last few months on a number of occasions American-linked ships, American oil supplies, have been targeted -- probably not deliberately -- but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. That needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen."
...why would US affiliated ships be part of the Russian shadow fleet?

"Another senior Ukrainian official familiar with the call said that Trump emphasised he was very worried about the rising price of diesel and wanted to ensure Russian supplies could reach the global market to provide relief."
But what makes this an especially stupid move by Trump is that Russia has banned its own diesel exports until October 31st. It's Putin who's blocking Russian diesel, not Zelenskyy...
Donald Trump pressed his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a call on Sunday to halt Kyiv’s strikes on Russian refineries over concerns the attacks are exacerbating a global diesel shortage and pushing up prices. @FT

Good. But it feels sensationalist to say Ukraine "hit Moscow" without pointing out this means legitimate military and refinery targets, not the apartment buildings, shops, and other civilians that Russia intentionally targets in its war of terror.
Ukraine has hit Moscow with what local authorities said was the largest ever drone attack on the Russian capital, setting a major oil refinery ablaze.

The answer is just telling him no and shooting back. Türkiye's proven it works. You can avoid article 5 by just not being a coward.

So for Putin the logic is:
1) Retake Kaliningrad for its military value
2) Land bridge through sparse territory may not cause pushback.
3) Ties up resources that can’t be sent to Ukraine.
4) Distracts NATO giving China an opening on Taiwan, in exchange for Russian support.
A dying old mad man with imperial ambitions wants to be remembered as the man who rebuilt the Russian empire.
And the world has showed him at each turn, that they won’t stand up to him.
His calculus is not that of a rational nation.
You should not doubt the risk of what lays ahead.

It's super cool how Trump canceled fuel efficiency standards, electric vehicle rebates, and illegally ended billions upon billions of dollars of wind and solar energy projects already under construction just before he blew up the entire Middle East for no fucking reason.

U.S. frontier lab AI companies aren't panicking over the idea that AI might kill humanity. They are panicking over the realization that OPEN SOURCE AI is going to kill their revenue models and stock valuations.

Because when the AI industry says “regulation” they just mean protections for themselves and entry barriers to competitors.

Trump running on lower gas prices and no more foreign wars and then starting a war with Iran that literallly everyone except Pete Hegseth knew was going to be a quagmire has to be on the shortlist for dumbest political blunders in American history.

MAGA, if you buy a $40,000 truck, you didn’t “lose” $40,000. You exchanged $40,000 for a truck. Imports work on the same basic concept. If you stop spending $100 at the grocery store, you did not “make” $100. You also don’t have groceries. It's amazing how this has to be explained to Donald.

The cost of DOGE: The Trump administration paid federal employees $9.5 billion not to work during 2025, GAO finds nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/po…

Hard to overstate how big a failure DOGE was. The government slashed its workforce without meaningfully shrinking the government’s overall footprint. So taxpayers got a less capable bureaucracy while spending billions paying people not to work. It was mostly performance art.
