For some reason my eyes jumped from

straight to

Well we will cause we’ll

and I thought I was losing it for a moment, lol

I feel like people have completely forgotten that Kamala was at like 3% when she bowed out of the primaries.

What do you make of this?

Ok I agree it is very suspicious that Congress suddenly got their shit together for this one thing. But people keep doomposting this bill without actually reading it. And it deserves to be read in all the beautiful airtight glory that it is.

Massie and Khanna anticipated every single excuse DOJ normally uses to bury sensitive records, and they wrote the law to shut all of them down. To be clear, the DOJ will still try to hide, but it’s going to fail.

Here’s what the bill actually does:

They can’t hide anything for “embarrassment,” “reputational harm,” or “political sensitivity.”

That’s an explicit statutory ban. No shielding Trump, Clinton, Gates, etc. The law literally forbids it.

The argument of “Everything will suddenly be classified!” doesn’t work either.

The bill forces DOJ to declassify to the maximum extent possible and if anything stays classified, they must publish a public unclassified summary for each redaction.

That’s not optional.

“New investigations” don’t block release.

The “active investigation” exception is temporary, narrow, document-specific, and requires a written public justification in the Federal Register.

You can’t just open a random investigation and hide whole categories of documents under this bill.

The best part? Congress still gets the full list of names.

No matter what gets redacted publicly, DOJ must give Congress an unredacted list of every government official and politically exposed person named in the files. No exceptions. Not for classification. Not for investigations. Not for national security.

And enforcement is real. This is a mandatory “shall release” statute. If DOJ drags its feet, it goes straight to D.C. District Court, which has zero patience for agencies abusing secrecy laws.

This isn’t a symbolic transparency bill. It’s one of the tightest, most loophole-proof disclosure laws Congress has ever passed — which is exactly why all of their objections on the GOP side were never successful or just weak attempts to attack a statute that defines CSAM.

People can be cynical all day, but the text is the text.

And the text is a brick wall against the usual bullshit.

This seems alright, no?

The executive order directs the HHS and the Treasury and Labor departments to ensure hospitals and insurers disclose “actual prices of items and services, not estimates” and take action to ensure “pricing information is standardized and easily comparable across hospitals and health plans” including prescription drug prices.

Biden granted Harris extended protection for whatever reason.

Do you know how long the extension was for? For life also, or just a longer duration?

Anywhere the actual memo can be read? If it was leaked, let’s see it. Personally, I’m not interested in a given website’s ‘interpretation’ of a document I can’t also reference directly, I want to read it myself.

He said “never”. Not sure why you’re interpreting it that way.

True or not, he’s clearly asserting that he never went, not that he turned it down once but accepted other times. He’s not admitting to ever having gone.

So if/when proof comes out that he did, this will be more damning.

I mean technically a “penis” that small isn’t a penis.

Weird to just throw body shaming in here for no real reason, lol.

Anyone else concerned at Tim Walz implying that he is not a person? lol

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. What are you on about?

Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing.

Tried twice with two exceptionally shitty candidates. Blaming Hillary and Harris’s losses on their sex is a massive cop-out. Trump should have been destroyed in every election he ran in, but the only time he lost was with the weight of a worldwide pandemic working against him, and even then, he wasn’t exactly blown out of the water.

A woman can definitely be president in America. But as long as people like you blame the losses on that, the actual reasons these candidates are losing will never be fixed.

It’s time to take some accountability.

The bill is unlikely to receive the bipartisan support needed to pass Congress.

Understatement of the century, lol

It’s obviously completely performative, this is a very common move in US politics in general, I’ve noticed–introducing a bill they know is definitely not going to pass, but makes them look good to their base.

He did a lot more than just convince Trump.

But he didn’t do either of the two things the headline claims he did, so, again, my point stands.

Did Musk declare himself President? No. Did he shut down the government? No.

If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in, would it be accurate to say I asked her out? Also no.

My statement stands. The headline is bullshit, ragebait bullshit I might add.

The article doesn’t show any evidence of Musk ‘declaring himself President’, and he didn’t (and can’t) shut down the government either.

What the fuck is this headline?

This is major league copium. The fact is that Trump’s opponent got way more votes in 2020 than in 2024, and had the blue turnout in 2024 equaled what it was in 2020, he would not have won in 2024. Period.

Yeah, I’ve wanted for decades for instant runoff voting to be the system the US uses, but it’s clear that it’s never going to realistically happen.

We can’t even get rid of the dumbass electoral college after all this time, lol.
