One thing that doesn't get talked about much is, yes, doctors will have to get paid less. We should also pair it with making it easier and faster for someone to become a doctor. More med school spots. It's a bit weird that we artificially limit the amount of residencies that exist

It's sad the amount of people who don't see that it's bad to make violent threats like this and will defend this niller guy. No, it's not "just a joke". You sound just like the assholes on Twitter.

Check out these two neighbors! House A pays $36,228/year in property tax House B pays $2,579/year in property tax In just 2 years, House A will pay almost as much as House B did over *50 years* Rishi Kumar wants to end property taxes for House B, maximizing the damage of Prop 13! REPOST please!

I'm the husband in the relationship who does not like dishes in sinks and wants used dishes in the dishwasher asap. It's not even a matter of aesthetics, it's just functionally better to not have used plates using up space in the sink. And no, you're not going to "do it before bed".

What's the case for Jasmine Crockett for senator? I feel like many comments are so negative about her chances that I'm also being prematurely led down that opinion.

Learning that Annemarie Gray (no relation) of Open New York, NYC's YIMBY group, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Mamdani's housing transition team. This is FANTASTIC news!

SEN. GALLEGO: "This is fucking insane... Secretary Hegseth, all these guys, fuck you, you're not going to be able to scare us. You say you’re not acting like fascists… you won’t intimidate us.” on the “investigation” announcement for telling the military their oath is to the constitution

i'm going to be cursed to see this link spammed for the rest of time, but just so everyone knows what the deal is: these guys at LISEP literally only exist to make up numbers to say the economy is bad, that's their entire full-time job www.cbsnews.com/news/cost-of...

HAVE YOU VOTED YET? 🇺🇸

have you seen her 2023 victory video

I actually do like @mattyglesias.bsky.social quite a bit but I think he's someone who thinks he's too smart to let himself be affected by the swamp that is Twitter. Sadly like most people who think this, he is wrong. Twitter will cook the brain of most of us.

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.” Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

This interview is from 2017 by the way

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

I like this. It's very simple, Johnson is covering up for the pedophiles.

Even if this was likely to happen (it isn’t) YES YOU SHOULD WANT TO MAKE THE FBI COME TALK TO YOU. Make them spend the time and resources, draw attention to their overreach! Are people aware the entire nature of peaceful civil disobedience is forcing this kind of conflict?

Kinda annoying that cardio is so tedious to build up. Building a strong cardio base requires a lot of volume, and those weekly miles take up a lot of time.

Bring back 22 episode season orders where there’s at least one clip episode for no reason

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

Physiognomy but leftish Let's try not to imply that people's facial appearance is in anyway tied to their moral character

I have no idea what's going on here, but I'm on team Jay

People want Dems to have a big tent but I don't think they're willing to deal with the big arguments that happen within a big tent. You can't have a big tent and then get mad when very strong disagreements happen.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series is truly so so good. I tore through the 7 books and a week later I started a reread of the series.

Do Parties do parties tv commercials during non-election periods? As in, could the DNC be doing commercials talking about the shutdown right now? Or is it still too expensive despite it not being election season?

Bribe or shakedown. Either way, illegal and prosecutable

I honestly feel a lot more self-censored in this environment than I have in the past. I do not feel comfortable speaking about opinions I have because I don't want to be seen as a "Democrat scold" who is going to cause some random person to vote Republican

weird thing is, if Dems did this, even in a non cruel manner, wouldn't people see this as "Dems trying to be moral police to people who simply want to go to church to worship." People view Dems as being scolds! A table at a NASCAR event saying "Trans people should play sports" would not be popular

Wouldn't it be better to run pro-choice Democrats who speak about abortion like pro-life people. As in, politicians who don't minimize the gravity of abortions that pro-life people feel, but still espouse pro-choice policy as being good for the country. Essentially, safe, legal, but rare.

I don't necessarily agree with much of the Ezra Klein hate going on and think some people need to calm down. But the assertion from Twitter people that this "meltdown" is somehow worse than any other trending disagreement on twitter is killing me.

Guys I’ll just say this and then I’m out for the night: if you can’t stomach the risk of nonpublicly attaching yourself to a huge protest, it doesn’t seem like you have much ground to criticize execs and college presidents who couldn’t stomach the risk of being specifically targeted by the admin

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Halfway through and really liking it. I much prefer for people to hear Shapiro's words with Ezra's pushback, than hear Shapiro's words when it's just him on his podcast. For example when Shapiro tries to say that Biden left the border open because he had blood guilt. And Ezra correctly pushed back

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

this man is braver than the heads of most major universities, large law firms, and media companies what he is doing shouldn’t be remarkable, and yet it is in the face of mass cowardice from most of civil society

Let's say the Left actually wanted to "persuade" the youth the way Charlie Kirk did by courting college students. What would that look like?

Spent the past couple days on twitter, mainly to see the Charlie Kirk discourse. I don't get how people can spend the bulk of their time there. It's a swamp of shit

But… he literally did not say that? Did anyone actually watch the clip?

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country? TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Don't let the deaths of odious people turn your heart cold.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

JD Vance said he doesn’t care if the US commits war crimes. Did it make the news? Donald Trump said he’s declaring war on Chicago. Did it make the news? Executive agencies keep posting Nazi blood-and-soil propaganda. Did it make the news?

Calling for an immediate shutdown of satire until civilization is restored because the two seconds I thought this was real before seeing it was Duffel Blog were the worst two seconds of my life.

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

We really shouldn't do blood and soil nationalism

Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."

Property are the most straightforwardly reasonable taxes that exist. I didn't make this land, but it's mine. I pay the government to enforce my monopoly on the property. They could only be improved by shifting more of the tax to the value of the unimproved land rather than the structures (land tax)

OPINION: Charlie Brown Did Not Have Hoes, but the Left Must Acknowledge That it Feels to Me Like He Did

Obama's trifecta made healthcare more accessible to more Americans, Trump's trifecta defunded Medicaid and imposed rigid work restrictions on it. Just the most anti-human party imaginable.

Joe Biden’s trifecta spent money to reconstruct our industrial base by building renewables and chips. Trump’s trifecta is spending money to cage innocent people at scale and then taking money from sick people to give to the rich.
