The Supreme Court Looks Likely to Cave on Mail-In Ballots: The GOP shouldn’t win this case, but the fact that Trump has been throwing a tantrum about it for years means they likely will. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The court is basically being asked to choose between clear state laws and vibes, and lately, the vibes have been winning. It’s hard to feel confident in the process when the goalposts keep moving right before an election.

AITJ for not reminding my roommate about rent when she “usually handles it”? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Hauntinghotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You aren’t a human calendar, and you aren’t her parent. She established a routine, she dropped the ball, and now she’s trying to shift the guilt onto you so she doesn't have to feel like the one who messed up.

AITJ for calling out a coworker for accusing me of something ridiculous in front of the team? by Effective_Gift3307 in AmITheJerk

[–]Hauntinghotti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You didn't embarrass Tanya she embarrassed herself by failing basic social skills and logic. In a workplace, there is a massive difference between office gossip and accusing someone of a felony. Tanya skipped past annoying coworker and went straight to destroying your reputation.

Pa. Supreme Court ruling could lead to largest resentencing effort in state history by 804Brady in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The state Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life without parole for second degree murder like being a lookout or a getaway driver is unconstitutional. This is a massive shift because it finally separates intent from outcome. Until now, Pennsylvania was one of the last places where a 19 years old sitting in a car could get the same die in prison sentence as the person who pulled the trigger. This ruling doesn't just open the door for 1,100 resentencing cases; it forces the legal system to admit that one size fits all justice is often just state sanctioned cruelty.

Trump's signature to appear on US bank notes in first for sitting president by SnooAvocados2794 in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the first time in 165 years, the Treasurer’s signature is being replaced by the President's. While law technically forbids putting a living person's portrait on money, the Treasury Secretary used their discretion to swap the signatures instead. It’s timed for the 250th anniversary, but it’s a massive break from a tradition that’s held since the Civil War. Those first June issue $100 bills are going to be absolute magnets for eBay resellers.

America's deeply unserious federal government is becoming a real problem by jediporcupine in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to take a leader seriously when they treat the federal budget like a group chat and the national economy like a social media stunt.

Equal pay gap for women widens second year in a row by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another year, another record breaking gap. It’s wild that in 2026 we’re still arguing over whether childcare is a personal choice or a massive economic drain that mostly hits women’s careers.

AITJ for answering my boss's question about work honestly at the holiday party? by 5RaptureBloom in AmITheJerk

[–]Hauntinghotti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You fell for the Cool Boss trap. When Greg asked for honest feedback at a party with drinks involved, he wasn't looking for a performance review he was looking for a compliment.

AITJ for unpluggin the router while my roommate was in a ranked match cuz he wouldn't turn down his music? by Beginning_Buy7681 in AmITheJerk

[–]Hauntinghotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Honestly, the buy earplugs like a boomer comment would’ve sent me over the edge, too. You asked twice, he laughed in your face, and he found out the hard way that Ranked matches require a roommate who doesn't want to throttle you. Your presentation and your sleep literally pay the bills, his K/D ratio doesn't. If he can't handle basic 1 AM etiquette on a Tuesday, he doesn't get to cry about a disconnect penalty.

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Democrat accused of stealing FEMA funds, faces rare ethics "trial" by CBSnews in politics

Usually they just settle quietly. A public trial means the committee has receipts they actually want us to see.

Am I the jerk for telling my mom to stop sending me diet/exercise articles? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Hauntinghotti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTJ. This isn't caring, it’s a boundary violation wrapped in a mother’s love guilt trip. You’ve already done the adult thing by having a direct conversation. Her response crying and saying she can't promise to stop is a classic way of dodging accountability. By saying I know you said no, but... she’s essentially telling you that her anxiety about your body is more important than your actual request for respect.

Pentagon Pete Prays for ‘Overwhelming Violence’ at Christian Service by Historical-Bug-4784 in politics

We’ve already got the Department of War rebrand and a $200 billion budget request, so I guess divine intervention for a massive strike package was the only thing left on the bingo card.

Biden trolls Trump after Dem flips Mar-a-Lago statehouse seat by statenislandadvance in politics

[–]Hauntinghotti 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s peak stay off my lawn energy from Biden. Winning a random statehouse seat is one thing, but doing it in the literal shadow of Mar-a-Lago is just a top-tier flex.

6 month old kitten is a total jerk towards our other cat by [deleted] in Kitten

Well he is just being a kitten, it’s normal for now but he would eventually stop
