The Government has not yet averted the Shutdown, the House has to vote on the version of the bill handed to them by the Senate which includes DNC demands on changes to ICE and DHS procedures.
Given Trump's statement on this, it probably won't pass.
However, a bill has passed with funds the government through September but only funds the DHS and ICE for 2 weeks.
If the DNC are smart about this then they will fund the government but just let DHS funding lapse just like the GOP did to the Medicaid premiums deal.
The legislation, which cleared the Senate by a 71-29 vote, extends spending for the Department of Homeland Security − which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol − for just two weeks while lawmakers negotiate over ICE reforms, and funds other government agencies through September.
He gets funding through September for programs and authorities which actually help people, and if the other reconciliation bill passes the house then they get ICE Reforms but that's less likely now that Trump is rejecting any such reforms.
The immediate catalyst, it seems, is an intensifying focus on capex, or capital expenditures. Microsoft revealed that its spending surged 66% to $37.5 billion in the latest quarter, even as growth in its Azure cloud business cooled slightly. Even more concerning to analysts, however, was a new disclosure that approximately 45%...
Since OpenAI just announced the possibility of bankruptcy, it's definitely coming. It's going to be wild for whichever idiot in charge at MS to go down in history as the man who ruined one of the most powerful and integral companies on earth.
idk, it was late last year that Sam said he expected OpenAI revenue to grow steeply, but also that if it doesn't then the company could go bankrupt by 2027 at the latest.
They don't have a product with any actual value or use cases. The ads aren't going to reverse that. If it were that simple then they would have been able to make profit with their subscription model.
Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty for allegedly killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, a federal district judge ruled....
You would need to produce reasonable suspicion of tampering with the evidence to have it removed as evidence. Some random local cops in buttfuck nowhere wouldn't need to frame the murder of a New York private healthcare CEO on some schmuck, and there is other related evidence from Luigi's computer and banking records which help legitimize the evidence in the bag.
It's funny seeing people simultaneously say "these charges are bullshit" and also "jury nullification can free him" because the jury nullification bit acknowledges he would be found guilty with the evidence presented.
I think he should go to prison for life, unless proven reformed after a couple of decades. I say this for two reasons: He definitely did the crime, and his freedom is inconsequential to anybody else.
The problem with nVidia is that they still don't support any real open source use of their cards, instead they deigned to notice the Linux crowd and gave one pittance of crappy closed-source drivers for them to figure out and only on select models.
The laws as they were written, as they were passed by democratically elected representatives, empower the military to do something about all of this. If followed faithfully, they should.
Arguing against that because you distrust any form of authority is asinine. Arguing that there should not be a US Military is childish and moronic.

The broadcasts' content on PBS are still privately owned. The part that is publicly funded is the broadcasting of the content.
For example, Bob Ross video recordings are owned by Bob Ross Inc which has been fought over for decades. That one is a messy example, but it applies to every other media as well.
The UK Green Party of England and Wales? Currently they have 4 commons and 2 lords. They at least had the sensibility to ask Jill Stein to stand down, but they also endorse leaving NATO which is really fucking stupid.
Your Party 2025 is just a joke honestly, I'm surprised they got more seats than Lord Buckethead.
The last dude in this thread to say basically the same thing at least had to balls to name other options and all they could come up with was the Anti-NATO party for one and the party which is literally just Corbynn and his buddy Sultana (1 seat) for the other.

I just feel correct and justified in never installing a foreign weapon which exposes every contact, photo, nearby device, and message to an evil dictatorship that wants us all dead in a fire (up to 2 dictatorships now).
It's pretty helpful sometimes when you can see who is brigading and where the majority of downvotes come from. Allows communities to better police themselves.
I struggle to see it. It's the same group of people that allowed Xi Jinping to become president for life in the first place. They've all been reaping the rewards of recent conquests, and even though they've continued the trend of cruelty this time they haven't lost any global market shares.
The only thing that could convince me that his rule is actually at risk is a boatload of evidence that somebody in the party had adequate ability and desire to completely replace him OR internal documents showing that officials were afraid of the administration heavily pushing toward WWIII with their support of Russia and Iran as well as their psyops throughout the west, namely TikTok.
You're clearly new to US History so let me summarize it for you:
the wealthy elite hate minorities and won't take orders from black people. They've got millions of other people to pick from, they simply wouldn't tolerate it. To allow Obama to represent their interests would betray their longstanding beliefs in their own superiority.
