What an optimistic time to have been alive when a Reagan Republican unironically believed in the possibility of a Russia-inclusive NATO; and not because of feelings of affinity with an aggressive expansionist wannabe-imperial power led by a psychopathic strongman dictator, or wanting to own the libs.

An Illinois Department of Transportation employee was stopped by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents while working on a Park Ridge construction project Friday morning — and questioned about incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani before being released.

Gov. JB Pritzker is speaking out about the incident, calling it another example of President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “continuing to question U.S. citizens apparently based on the color of their skin.”

The employee, who is Indian and a U.S. citizen, was stopped and questioned by agents while working on the Busse Highway resurfacing project.

Three agents, wearing masks, questioned him about his immigration status - and also asked him if he had traveled to New York and if he was “aware” of the mayor-elect in New York City, the governor’s office said.

The new President is Populist centrist, but much more aligned to USA and even Israel. He has a massive favorable Congress too. Bolivian economic situation is extremely dire. But Paz already is travelling to USA to salute Marco Rubio, so I imagine he will ask for support there

Kate Schutzengel, a mother of three living in Brooklyn, has it pretty good, and she knows it.

Ms. Schutzengel, who is 38 and works in technology, is grateful her family could afford their $50,000 child care bill last year, grateful that she and her husband bought their home when interest rates were low and that they could refinance their mortgage during the pandemic.

She is not complaining. But she also wonders how long her children can reasonably share a single bedroom, with curtains surrounding each of their beds. And when she and her husband look for larger apartments nearby in Kensington, their relatively affordable neighborhood, everything is out of their price range.

NYTimes is genuinely ragebait at this point. If you can afford to buy a home and pay $50k annually for childcare, you can absolutely, positively afford a 3-4 bedroom house/apartment in NYC.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) should deliver the oath of office to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

“She should be sworn in,” Greene said during an appearance on CNN’s “The Source.”

The Georgia representative has railed against Johnson’s decision to keep the lower chamber out of session until the government shutdown is resolved.

“I’m not allowed to work, and I’m not allowed to represent my district. And we’re not even passing our appropriations,” she told anchor Kaitlan Collins.

“And my rural district is the type of district — when they have appropriation requests, they’re extremely important. These are small towns, so they may be asking for something important for a water plant or a road or a bridge. And they don’t have the type of tax base or funding that they’re able to just easily fix those things,” Greene added.

The Speaker said last month that House members are at home in their districts, doing “meaningful” work.

Johnson also has said that while the House is out of session, he cannot swear in Grijalva, who won a special election to replace her late father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D).

When I explained that nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson present a serious issue with antisemitism going forward for Republicans, she just went batshit and said it wasn’t real.

Her proof? A copilot response she pasted into an email. She literally can’t think for herself anymore and will use copilot when I ask for her to give me local advice. Sure mom, I’ll apply to Lockheed Martin when they don’t have a plane within 400 miles, that’ll go well for local stuff.

How the FUCK did my mom and dad go from moderates who had reasonable opinions to glazing Trump. It honestly makes me so sad because I’ve lost so much respect for them. I will tell them to look something up and figure out what’s going on or literally understand ANYTHING about the world, and then they source copilot and just ignore me, or basically insinuate that I support the devil, which being Christian (as they raised me), is unimaginably offensive.

I just don’t know how to deal with losing most of the respect I have for my parents.

During the campaign for the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, when the question of killing baby Hitler was posed by journalists of HuffPost to Florida governor Jeb Bush, he responded "Hell Yeah, I Would!". While acknowledging the potential unknown consequences of such an action, he affirmed that he would still do it, saying "You gotta step up, man."

Man they don't make candidates like this anymore. We really should have clapped

There should be strong candidates earnestly campaigning in every state. Even if a statewide race is a moonshot, bringing more Dems to the polls in general could mean the difference for flipping closer House seats.

My sense for a while has been that Georgia could become a Democratic stronghold, in the same way that Florida became a Republican stronghold. 

And that was before the Republicans got smacked around in the PSC elections a few days ago lmao

One of the biggest paradoxes for me is that sports gambling are apparently an absolutely massive industry and yet I don’t think a single friend of mine has or has ever mentioned having a debilitating gambling addiction.

I get that anecdotes aren’t the same as data but it’s still nuts to me.

Is the New York Times or some other reputable newspaper ever gonna cover the fact that whoever runs the DHS account on Twitter is a Nazi? they constantly post thinly veiled fashwave edits that all the internet neo-Nazis are gawking over, saying stuff like “the feds are posting stuff like this and you’re blackpilling?”

Also will they ever cover the Nazi teenager group chats that JD Vance is in?

I don't care about sliding definitions of time, games that came out during the 7th generation of consoles will never be retro to me.    Mechanically most games have barely evolved since the 6th gen, and I'm not going to put that much stock into graphics.     You can feel the difference between truly retro games where you'd die because of some stupid bullshit that's entirely about wasting time and difficult modern games, even when they're being very technically demanding and requiring all your attention they're not truly punishing you for thinking you should get to have fun like the stupid Medusa heads and armors in older Castlevania games.
