41·10 months agoLaw enforcement baits out pedos to arrest using fake 16 year olds all day long. They can’t spin this.

politics @lemmy.world•Dems are suddenly very serious about retaking the Senate
91·11 months agoSchiff, Murphy and Booker would probably be the short list though, and are any of them really going to significantly change the tone? Eh.
Edit - probably not even Schiff, he’s only recently moved from the house, needs more tenure. My bad. Who would you look to replace?
Power to the Penguins!

politics @lemmy.world•Secret GOP Cabal With Vance and Thiel Plots Eternal MAGA Rule
61·11 months agoAlthough no one was prosecuted, the congressional committee final report said, “there is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”
Damn, I simply can’t imagine why these things keep happening…

politics @lemmy.world•Democratic senator’s anti-Trump floor speech ends after nearly 23 hours
99·11 months agoNo, Booker said he fasted for days and stopped drinking water 24 hours before his speech to not leave the floor. Strom Thurmond famously had a bucket placed close enough to keep one foot in the room while he relieved himself.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Administration Live Updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing
391·11 months ago“Trump DC will be the biggest, highest, most beautiful hotel and casino in the state, possibly maybe the country. It’ll host delegates and friends from all over the world. We’re looking into how the federal government can license the trump trademark and brand, the beautiful name - everybody wants it on the building, for a 1000 year lease. You’re WELCOME america!”
Edit- oh neat, my favorite right wing shithole is already creating artistic representations

politics @lemmy.world•Suspect accused of ramming protester with vehicle at ‘No Kings’ rally in Jackson Township
27·11 months agoThere’s more details here, and a statement from the driver. The 77 year old driver claims he doesn’t recall hitting anyone, he’s not against the protest, and that the police waived him on.
“I didn’t even see those people. I was just, you know, driving home and that was it,” he said. “I hope I didn’t hurt anybody bad or anything like that.”

politics @lemmy.world•Johnson: ‘We’re barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history’
8·11 months agoThat’s not an option for many people, and that’s what’s scary as hell. For some it’ll be impossible to ever price them out of insurance, because they need the care regardless of the debt they rack up. If insurance offsets even 10% that’s a win.
Meanwhile in the healthy population, many will balk at the premiums, decide to drop the insurance and the whole house of cards falls down. GOP already got rid of the insurance mandate and that was a very popular move with their base. Slim chance mandatory coverage could be re-instated again.
Now the party is stuck and likely to let the entire system collapse. Maybe they’ll bail out the hospitals and insurance companies along the way, at a much higher cost than getting people the care they needed, but it seems inevitable.

politics @lemmy.world•Johnson: ‘We’re barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history’
49·11 months agoThe [Johnson] Shutdown, it causes real pain for real people, veterans, the elderly people who rely upon these services
Wow you know what else causes real pain? The lifetime of crippling medical debt, collapse of coverage for the sickest among us, and skyrocketing premiums for everyone else. Y’all just seem to want it so badly.
Republicans had 15+ years to come up with the “replace” side of “repeal and replace” and have nothing to show for it. What a farce.

politics @lemmy.world•Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho
12·1 year agoThey definitely exist, but rare in my personal experience. There’s a large house near me surrounded by high, castle-style walls. Along the wall facing the street they have multiple flag posts displaying an american flag, a trump flag, a gadsden flag, and a “Yes I voted for this!” trump-like design flag. They used to rotate the flags with POW/MIA, Blue Line and others but it’s been pretty unchanged since inauguration.
I’ve also seen a smaller banner flying from a cybertruck, once.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needsEnglish
3·1 year agoI use notesnook but I don’t self host, just the app locally. It has an option to insert a task list into the note, and that has drag and drop reordering. It also encrypts at rest, and has text search. Hope that helps your decision.




I’d like to buy the “blocked by on-going investigation” square, please. It’s so obvious.
