Taco.
So we’re back to Liberation Day tariffs but the stock market is fine with it this time? How does that work?.

I'm not sure about the phrasing here. How does one "ruthlessly" expand the middle class? That is - how does one expand the middle class without mercy, pity or remorse? It feels like a no sequitur at best.
The middle class is shrinking because politicians from both parties have strayed from ruthlessly expanding the middle class. They’ve been lured by special interests, their own re-elections, and niche issues that have more to do with themselves.

Lmaooooo This is pure thuggery!.
This is the most important divide in the Democratic party. Do you believe we all have a moral and political obligation to stand with other working people fighting for a politics and an economy that works for all of us? Or are you a scab.

I wonder if they'll be able to hear the award ceremony over the sound of GAZA SPEAKING.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. At dinner at the White House just now, he presented President Trump with the nomination letter.

Only $14.88, you say? What an oddly specific price.
I saved us $695 today. The contactor in our outside AC unit went bad, and it was buzzing really loud, which means it was about to fail. I diagnosed it myself. So I called around looking for a new contactor, and every hardware store said it would be a "special order" and take

Nothing like being lectured to by a multi-millionaire trust fund baby, whose biggest accomplishment in life is being part of the lucky sperm club.

The fact that Mamdani couldn't get into Columbia despite lying about his race and having a father as a professor at the school (!!) basically confirms that he was a C student in high school at best.

Is that what you call it? A double whammy scab?.
@muddletoes scabbing is when union work is done by non union workers while the union is withholding their labor during a strike. In this case, the union has specifically asked the public not to do this or use the dumpsters the city set up. Thus, this what we call a double whammy scab.

aka gangsterism.
@lxeagle17 i mean i think the point of the term "scab" is to consciously create and enforce a norm that the public does have an obligation to participate in strikes.

This is nonsense. There was a way for him to honestly fill out the form and it is as follows. He refused to do this because he wanted an artificial advantage.
There is an important political lesson in the Mamdani/college application story. It isn't the one the article was focused on. Gift link:

This seems like it could be defamatory.
just found out those "are we dating the same guy?" FB groups have evolved into an app printing $200k/month with ~1M users (no VC $). must verify as a woman, all posts anonymous, can search men by name and pay for info services like background checks, reverse image search, etc. 🤯.

They have this. They're called homeless shelters and they're not nice places. And the strictly enforced rules that you're talking about: you wouldn't like.
Cities should be allowed to build housing for adults like this. Very cheap rent, by the bed. There'd have to be strictly enforced rules if paired with strangers, but it's not impossible.

I'm also interested in the flag up top. Is that the imperial Russian flag?.
St. Petersburg, FL - neighbors walking their dogs this morning were shocked to see a neighbor's house displaying an antisemitic sign so proudly in their front yard.

Every time I think about the destruction of USAID I get really depressed. So much death for absolutely nothing.

This scandal is pretty devastating for Mamdani because it hits at a fundamental weakness of his supporters. They just can't help digging themselves further and further with every defense. This isn't going to go away.

Hey UNRWA, what are your views on Hamas? Are they the legitimate authority in Gaza?.
The Government of Israel has continued to make claims against UNRWA's neutrality, putting our staff at risk and harming the Agency’s reputation. “Last month, I wrote to the Foreign Minister of Israel, requesting once again information and evidence to substantiate these
