1 month agoThey don’t have majority in confirmation hearings. Vance is the tiebreaker. The only nominee who didn’t pass was Gaetz, and that was because Republicans voted against him too.

The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.
981·2 months agoThere is no backdoor in Apple’s encryption. That’s the reason the US and UK governments have prosecuted Apple repeatedly. They can obtain iCloud data with a warrant, but are repeatedly pressing for real-time surveillance. The UK banned encryption without a backdoor, so Apple turned off encryption rather than compromising their standard.
361·2 months agoThat’s correct. Her husband also had a restraining order against her, for him and their children, due to her psychosis. After being released from the hospital, she showed up at his door, begging to see the children. He declined due to her excited state, and recommended she go home and rest. She killed herself that night.
It’s a horribly tragic story of a woman who bore way too much trauma for one lifetime, but it really isn’t suspicious once you read the details.

The Epstein files are on Pam Bondi’s desk right now but also they do not exist but also they do exist because they were written by Obama and Hillary when Epstein killed himself in 2019 when Trump was president.
Did you read the link? No.
They raised minimum wage before they did anything else. They also enacted equal pay laws and several insurance protections. Read it and come back with informed criticism. This uninformed “democrats bad” nonsense is not worthy of debate.
The last time Democrats had the same majority in congress that Republicans have now was the 111th Congress. It was considered the most productive Congress since the 89th, which was also a Democratic majority.
The slim majorities that Democrats have had since have been packed full of centrists due to the horrifically low congressional primary attendance (<15%) for the last few decades. We need to stop allowing retirees to fill our ballots with conservatives and centrists, and vote in the progressives that will actively bring about change.
For sure, but that’s a safety net. They can’t take out domestic loans against those accounts. They function on perpetual debt leveraged against their portfolios.
Portfolio, not bank account. They don’t pay taxes on unrealized gains.
I hope he wins and spends $1M on a golden visa.🖕
I hope so. Tesla would be banned next week too.
The right finally gets a Jill Stein. Good luck with that.
Bahahahahaha! Billionaires are so scared, they don’t even know which shitty shill to run.

Did you see them laughing while voting down the Democrats’ amendments? Straight up sociopathic.
I guarantee she has a nice cushy lobbyist position lined up for Big Oil after pushing that bill through. She could give two shits about reelection with that fallback.
The shortage is artificial. You’d know that if you read the links you requested and then downvoted without reading.
Private equity bought excessive amounts of properties while interest rates were low during covid. They’re sitting on the properties to keep value high while slowly selling them off.
That’s the whole reason Abbott and DeSantis proposed getting rid of property taxes and increasing state income tax. Then private equity could sit on those properties indefinitely.
As of last count in January 2024, there were 771,480 unhoused people in the US. Blackstone alone owns more than 300,000 residencies.
Nationwide there are 16 million vacant homes — that’s 28 vacant homes for every unhoused person.
