Its available from several sources, but they’re going to be a lot harder to find after this.

There are a ton of preexisting links to the old reports. They come up high when you do a search. People will mistakenly continue to treat them as credible as a result

The whole point of the article is that we’re actually seeing action in the form of voting behavior in Congreess, state reps leaving Texas to prevent a worse gerrymandering, etc.

Basically, when Trump took office a lot of Congressional Democrats weren’t voting against him in any kind of consistent way. Like half were voting to confirm his nominees. Its taken a lot of pressure to get them to start fighting at all.

Accident isnt impossible, and I’ll be really surprised if we get a definitive answer

So the constitution is the foundational legal document in the US, determining the powers of each part of government. If they actually stripped out these parts, it would mean no oversight over the military for Congress, no right to go to court to contest an unjust imprisonment, and no restrictions on payments by foreign governments to US officials among other things.

It was either a coding error, as the Library of Congress is saying or a really ham-handed way to announce an additional step towards dictatorship, which are now being walked back as too outrageous, using a the pretext of a coding error as a way to save face. I doubt we’ll ever find out which.

They’re doing annotated sections. If the backend loads sections or parts of sections separately, a corrupt database might cause a problem like this. Also could load each article into a buffee…and article I was too long to fit, so it got truncated.

There is a lot more opportunity for technology to break in interesting ways than most people expect.

Its also sometimes helpful to give an adversary a face-saving way to back down, and a technical problem can be a way to do that.

So far as I’m aware, its circulating among environmental journalists, but not the broader press yet

Because we dont know for sure that its not some really dumb technical problem instead of yet another announcement of the intent to turn the US into a dictatorship.

His word is only good if you’re rich and powerful and bribe him. For those people, he makes good.

The actual power to respond is in state government. It’s looking like California is likely to, and perhaps other states too.

Not really; as of when this article was published, they had reduced data quality by collecting less information, but weren’t actually faking it.

Now that Trump has made it clear that delivering bad news gets you fired, faked stats from official sources are much more likely.

Meanwhile

Because he doesn’t want to hear the bad news about his policies causing unemployment

Congress is only kinda sorta accountable thanks to gerrymandering. As soon as it became clear that Republicans are at risk of losing seats in 2026, they went to update the gerrymander

They have been. Congress basically stopped holding any votes at all once they started trying to amend every piece of legislation to include a requirement to release Epstein files

They literally dont have the votes in Congress to do anything. All they can do is make noise

I generally agree with you…but a congressmember whose home is far from DC doing the normal things that people obliged to spend half their time in two locations for work do isnt something that should be prosecuted, no matter which party.

Its a bit different when there is a third house, used as a vacation home a few weeks a year.

Kinda sorta. The Democrats accused were keeping two main residences, one in DC and one in their home state, with the knowledge of their lenders. That’s not really fraud.

Because his skin is white. I really wonder what his wife and kids think about these views
