Evidently, section3 of the 14th amendment doesn't explicitly apply to US Presidents. It explicitly applies to any officers and military under the US government. I suppose legal types have to be quite specific in the basis for a ruling, if "any officers" doesn't include the Presidency. Stepping back, it doesn't make much sense that a President who incites an insurrection would NOT apply, but that's how it was written back then.

Nazi racist defends Elon Musk anti-semitic remarks. No surprises.

Sure seems to me that the California Utilities Commission is serving the big utility corporations at the expense of people wanting rooftop solar, and at the expense of our renewable energy future. Solar is cutting into their profits.

I support the squad, and feel that they are the only ones in Congress that are even close to representing me. Powerful AIPAC and corporate billionaire money doesn't like them, and will use their money to silence anyone who challenges their power.

What complete bullshit propaganda. Rashida Tlaib is one of very few congresspersons with a shred of humanity about the massacre in Gaza and is willing to speak up about it. She has nothing to do with Hamas. That is just how they stoke hatred.

Article says the most likely reason is that Xwitter started charging for API access.

Somewhere along the line, Whoopi became a Hillary Clinton clone.

Manchin is not moderate by any stretch. He is so blatantly beholden to his special interest money sources that he doesn't seem to have any political direction at all. He's a democrat by title who pretty much hangs out with the Republicans, and also votes with them. That's not moderate.

Hard to believe Tumblr lasted this long even. They killed like 3/4 of their content (and audience) when they decided to not have any porn like 4 years ago. Everybody left. An early example of enshitification.

But the MAGA House Republicans DO want a Government shutdown. We must face that basic fact. They are anti-government, so a government shutdown is exactly what they want. We must find a way to make a shutdown cost them something which they find important, or they will never try to work out a solution.

Hillary is toxic to the brand. The Democrats would be wise to keep her at arms distance.
