The democratic primary was ranked choice. The general election is still the old broken system.

Ok, nevermind. I guess we'll just do nothing. 🙄

 

Elon Musk is done at DOGE, but we're just getting started.

Elon is still deeply tied to the Trump regime, still fueling conspiracies and fascist rhetoric, and still using his immense wealth to warp government policy and buy elections around the globe.

On June 28—Elon's birthday—let's celebrate everything we've achieved and a recommit to the long fight still ahead.

And our birthday gift to the Broligarch in Chief? A global party with one powerful message: Musk Must Fall.

I don't suppose anyone here has a link to a high(ish) resolution version of it? Asking for a friend.

I mean, yay, but...

an estimated 80% of ballots counted.

That's just the first round, right? Does he not understand how RCV works? Unless his team already knows who everyone's second and third choices are, it's not remotely over yet. What am I missing?

I think this is about shutting off individual customers because they're behind on their bill, not rolling blackouts to protect the grid from collapsing.

"Since taking office Trump has stripped Americans of access to lifesaving measures, including the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program, which help more than 8 million working families pay their utility bills," CBD noted.

The judge making this determination is an idiot.

The judge hasn't ruled on the piracy question yet. The only thing that the judge has ruled on is, if you legally own a copy of a book, then you can use it for a variety of purposes, including training an AI.

"But they didn't own the books!"

Right. That's the part that's still going to trial.

Right, and that's the, "but faces trial over damages for millions of pirated works," part that's still up in the air.

 

June 4 (Reuters) - Karine Jean-Pierre, who was former President Joe Biden's press secretary at the White House from 2022 until 2025, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to the publisher of her forthcoming book.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House will fix errors in a much-anticipated federal government report spearheaded by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which decried America’s food supply, pesticides and prescription drugs.

Kennedy’s wide-ranging “Make America Healthy Again” report, released last week, cited hundreds of studies, but a closer look by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not actually exist.

Asked about the report’s problems, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the report will be updated.
