I absolutely hate The Hill simply because they cannot be bothered to take 2 seconds to link to the damn bills they talk about in their articles.
For all I know they could talk about Congress passing a bill ratifying that the color of the sky shall be considered Red and the reader has no idea if it is true or not.
If you watch their hearings and assemblies a lot of Congress appears to be focused on trying to get sound bytes and Tik Tok clips out of what they say. The clips just seem so weird and forced when seen in context of what the topic of discussion is.
We didn't elect people to be actors on the clock, please make law and talk to the press later.
DoT has seen an explosive increase in budget by 66% since 2019. I am not convinced that a 3% cut to stem the deficit is devastating.
I don't deny that American transportation and logistics are aging and need reform but this economic and high interest climate doesn't seem like the best time to go all in.
This is a ridiculously off target response
OK then.
Let's sit down and read the actual amendment instead of taking out of context a section of some news quote which is likeky already out of context by said news before you shortened it.

or national origin.
(5) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as compelling any individual to believe or refrain from believing in any politically-based concept referred to in paragraph (4) in their private and personal capacity.''.

This is the equivalent of suspecting one of two books to be containing Nazi propaganda because it has more pages in it.
I'm not saying you should not be suspicious of the content of Threads but using size as a metric for it seems nonsensical to a software dev.
The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.
Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.
Reddit in desktop mode is better.
Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.
Read your own constitution.
Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.
