Wouldn’t re-enhanced subsidies blunt any premium rise? Also, I think the deal being discussed includes an extension of open enrollment through spring.

Yeah, I applaud his cojones but this headline is just the title of a single video game forum post with a screenshot of a Facebook post. Searching around, I don’t see any indication that his is the deciding vote or anything.

Gotta focus on the truly hateful symbols, like rainbows, “everyone is welcome” signs, and abstract nouns.

Arguably the most effective Speaker in history, and got an incredible amount of maximally progressive legislation through the House on the thinnest of margins again and again and again. There’s a reason Republicans hated (and feared) her so much.

It’s a two step process: a majority of the House must vote to impeach, then the Senate has a trial where you need a two-thirds majority to convict and remove them from office. House Democrats actually impeached Trump twice in his first term when they had the majority (once for blackmailing Ukraine, and again after the January 6th attack), but Republicans in the Senate blocked conviction.

Right now, Republicans have the majority in both the House and the Senate, so there’s not even a chance of impeachment, much less conviction.

What’s with the cringe meme in the background? “Injured thousands of people with vaccines”?

“Slash” wrist.

This reminds me of when the Ukraine blackmail story first broke. Even before the impeachment push, it seemed like the story was far more riveting – entirely because of the whistleblower angle. I remember thinking at the time that if all the transcripts being shown on the news with the reactions and dramatic highlighter effects had instead been a public statement by Trump that “yeah, we’re withholding weapons until Zelensky gives us dirt on Biden,” the entire thing would have blown over in a week. Maybe this could be similar?

(You know what else has the cachet of secrecy and coverup? The Epstein files.)

So sick of these kinds of posts. At this point it should be obvious that the blatant hypocrisy isn’t stupid or some clever “gotcha,” it’s the entire point. It’s a demonstration of impunity and contempt for fairness and logical consistency.

Relative to the speed shown in the visualizations. The pop-sci animations look like it takes one step every second or so, while in reality they do hundreds per second.

One of these days AI skeptics will grasp that spelling-based mistakes are an artifact of text tokenization, not some wild stupidity in the model. But today is not that day.

How is it more accurate? I thought that in reality the “steps” are incredibly fast, but that makes it seem like it’s a much slower and more uncertain process.

Not everywhere! This fucks over anybody who depends on ratings for job evals.

I’m wary of the hype over this gambit because it’s been tried several times in the recent past and has always ended with a few key legislators caving and returning to the capitol for no real concessions. Hopefully they realize that people are not in the mood for token resistance (and Abbott’s threats against them will steel their spines).

What are you talking about? Yang dropped out before the CA primary, and Harris dropped out the December before the first primary happened. She wasn’t even on the ballot.

At first I thought the quoted text was just him having ChatGPT write his tweets for him. But then I clicked through and saw the video of him actually speaking it to the camera. He was probably just reading it off a screen, but seeing a dead-eyed person earnestly parroting ChatGPTese like that was one of the creepiest things I’ve seen this year.
