politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Rebranding for the Post-MAGA Era. Centrists Are Falling for It.
131·18 hours agoLol! Wow. So, you are going to make me copy and paste half the article here, instead of just reading it.
Ok…
Some Democrats have praised these recent remarks by Greene.
Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, told Newsweek he is appreciative of Greene’s recent comments.
“I appreciate what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying about health, home and auto insurance being unaffordable for most Americans and for calling out efforts to prevent any state from passing legislation to protect workers or kids from AI. I look forward to working with anyone in Congress to do something bipartisan on bringing down costs or AI,” he said.
Senator Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, told CNN on October 9 that her messaging is stronger than some Democrats.
“Well, she’s not doing better than me, but she’s definitely doing better than a lot of Democrats,” he said.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, voiced agreement with Greene’s comments on the ACA credits in a post to X on October 9.
“Millions of moms just like @RepMTG are worried about how their families are going to afford health care if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. We can take action now to extend these credits. Let’s work together to get this done and prevent costs from soaring,” Shaheen wrote.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday on MSNBC’s Katy Tur Reports that he has not met with Greene, but said she has had a “surprisingly enlightened few weeks in terms of her perspective on both the Epstein files.”
Grant Davis Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told Newsweek that Democrats’ praise of Greene is representative of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” logic.
“It seems more like straightforward political opportunism, and once again the issue of Trump, pro and con, is driving the bus,” he said. “Given all that MTG has said over the years, it seems very strange that any Democrat would align themselves with her, on anything. But these are strange political times.”
Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington, told Newsweek that Greene recognizes that the Epstein scandal “is not going away,” while other Republicans would “prefer not to recognize” that.
I’m going to stop there, because if you didn’t read that far down the 1st time, you probably aren’t going to read this far down, this time either.

News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court won’t allow National Guard deployment to Chicago in major loss for Trump
3·19 hours agoYeah, that’s kind of what I was asking. I know that a lower court has also ruled that deploying them in DC was also illegal…pending appeal. And if I recall, they said the same thing about California…also still pending appeal, or something.
It really does seem like they’re going to have to get the Super Court involved in every state, separately…even though the rulings are all based on the same arguments.

Canada@lemmy.ca•British Columbia’s Supreme Court had ruled that a group of indigenous tribes, the Cowichan Nation, has a “senior and prior” right to private land on a roughly 730-acre tract in Richmond 👏
12·3 days agoOk…so, first of all…this article is spouting nothing but hyperbolic bullshit. No one’s private land ownership is being challenged, or infringed upon with this decision, whether in this specific case, or in any broader sense.
The most that the Cowichan Tribe is asking for, is fair compensation for the land that was stolen from them, and recognition of their claim to the land that is still “publicly owned”. No one is “coming for privately owned land”.

Why aren’t you also advocating for Russia to disarm, if you think the EU should?

1·4 days agoI think you’re missing the point. Data centers can run whatever chips you want. It’s not about the specific chip…it’s about the power and cooling systems needed to run them. You can set up a data center to run anything, in any combination.

2·4 days agoASIC tech is used in both AI and crypto mining. The reason they work well together is because of the power and cooling infrastructure required for both. Most data centers are designed and equipped to handle either / or.

World News@lemmy.world•Putin tells BBC the West is 'making Russia the enemy'English
3·4 days agoThe EU has every right to defend itself against acts of aggression by a hostile neighbor…just like Palestinians do. Until countries like Israel, the US and Russia start acting like civilized nations…no one around them is safe.
Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of Democrats have recently gone in front of the media, praising MTG for her recent “pivot”. This article isn’t the only example either. I’ve watched interviews and read several other articles where they’ve been saying the same things.
I have no problem with giving someone credit, where credit is due…but when you actually listen to the totality of MTG’s grievances here, you quickly realize, that she still does not align with the left’s perspectives on these topics, at all.
It’s like the difference between right-wing and left-wing criticisms of Israel. One side is criticizing Israeli policy regarding their treatment of Palestinians…and the other side just hates Jews. You can’t exactly praise someone like Nick Fuentes for “being right about Israel”, without overlooking everything he says is “wrong with Israel”. Pretending like MTG is somehow, suddenly “on our side”, requires you to ignore everything she actually stands for.
