Gonna primary every defecting Democrat with the only people I actually trust: Never Trump Republicans

I guess this is what you say when your predecessor’s administration financed the only commercial magnet manufacturing plant in the United States. 🔌💡🔌🚗

I can help here. First, you open with a new, exciting, creative action screen starring your new James Bond. He does cool stuff and then suddenly turns and shoots directly shoots into the camera and the opening song starts with the opening credits. Audience now understands there is a new James Bond

These were not the answers I was expecting about needing to pee during a marathon, and I would like to go back and delete them from my brain thank you

If you look back at the arguments that swayed Americans 250 years ago, it wasn’t that ”tea prices were high,” it was the underlying assertions of power. Thankfully there were not political consultants to drive the messaging.

Elon mad

The two worst metaphors to infect discourse: 1. Touching the stove 2. Dog catching the car When Roe vs. Wade was overturned we won some election in Kansas and everyone was excited and then at the very next election Donald Trump became president again. Wins are still wins even if the PR sounds bad

A four-act play

I am starting to understand how he bankrupted a casino

Angus King declared defeat the day after Trump posted this

100% this. The idea that our "great Founders" intended for the President to be able to raise taxes on Americans because someone in Canada ran an ad he didn't like is legitimately insane. It's the epitomization of arbitrary power.

I don’t get why congress just doesn’t pass the tariffs. They are easy and popular

I can help with this! Yes, it makes perfect sense that in an *emergency*, e.g. a pandemic, you might need to do something like stop all trade while the same provision cannot be invoked punitively for non-emergencies, e.g. Canada quoting Ronald Reagan in an ad you don’t like

Also, Senate Democrats should have zero faith that any “deal” they agree to will be executed faithfully by the, well, the executive. He’s already shown that he does not consider any spending legislation to be binding upon him in any way.

Okay, it is still open enrollment and i am still trying to convince you to go and sign up for health insurance. I know it is expensive and scary. But you can do it. The thread embedded here is a tutorial on how to understand and make that decision. I will now write a quickie version.

If you see an account using quotation marks around their sensationalized imagining of what a person says, block them. You (yes, you specifically, dear reader) are a misinformation target too

This language here ordinarily is left-coded! 1/2

I hate this shit so much, because the actual piece is a thoughtful rebuttal to Andrews but the headline writers know what's gonna drive rageclicks. This is how French's piece closes:

Lindsey Graham demands Obamacare be expanded to include a public option:

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Women are ruining the workplace through increased private equity ownership of veterinary practices

If you spend enough time around people talking sports, you will be familiar with people saying after an unexpected loss, “yes, but you’re not actually better!” And maybe they’re not better, but as the wins rack up and you have to question is it more important to you to be “better” or to win? 1/2

If the US Congress wants to renege on all the trade deals it has already approved, Senator Cassidy personally can just vote for that. Congress could go do that literally today

These are 1930s/40s level human rights violations happening here in the US right now, and the people responsible seem unlikely to face any consequences.

Sometimes Gavin Newsom’s account is funny, but other times it feels like he’s veering toward fucking the goat ironically. He has to make sure the satire is actually fun, and to do that it has to not exactly work like the Right’s insults do. Here are two failures

As I am still technically an officer of the court still I will note that advocating for jury nullification is improper and can get you struck from the pool especially if your posts come to light. Nullification emerges from reasoning being unreviewable after the fact.

Remember now sandwich guy can now do whatever crimes he wants because of double jeopardy

I keep saying: elite right-wingers are in expectation MUCH WORSE because of adverse selection.

“Women’s natural sphere is at home, raising children.” My good man, this is gutter Rousseau. You know, the guy who got us the French Revolution by selling anprim socialism to upper class twits? Why are these words in your mouth?

Not sure what people were expecting

Always remember it’s bad to make you click

I mean, yes, I am sure many, many companies would appreciate if governments would be on the hook for their extremely speculative investments www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

I am better at chess than Zohran Mamdani was when he was 12

jesus christ

No Democrat should vote for any spending bill that does not explicitly prevent Donald Trump from targeting areas that don’t vote for him. The language has to be clear enough that even this Supreme Court can’t ignore it. Until then, no votes

Your periodic reminder that pundits are not now nor have ever been experts on anything other than sounding authoritative, and that their product is not insight but content.

My son is making me read Mission to Mars by Buzz Aldrin to him, and his PhD thesis at MIT was “Guidance for Manned Orbital Rendezvous”, and yeah I bet that does look pretty good on a resume 1/2

Donald Trump’s filing to the Supreme Court actually does sound like him. You would think his lawyers would clean his words up and remove the obvious lies, but they just went ahead and filed them verbatim www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

I, a normal Midwestern man, don't know anything about these elections happening in other states, but good for them.

I refuse to believe you know who all these random politicians are

This sort of thing never happened under Pete

To illustrate why these confidence intervals were so bad, I have helpfully marked where Sherrill's actual performance is relative to the "95% confidence interval" that Morris created.

Bernie Sanders wants to be tougher on immigration. Pay attention to the things politicians repeatedly say!

Not to jinx it, but Amazon seems to be doing a better job of accumulating our orders into one shipment each week rather than sending multiple boxes on multiple days

Every child car seat law across the country should have a “hey, you were trying your best” exception in the actual text. It was an emergency trip in someone else’s vehicle? That’s legal. Not enough room in the back for a third seat? Legal.

Algebra is not a made up thing. A 2003 California Board of Education framework would have required everyone to wait till 8th grade for Algebra: www.edweek.org/teaching-lea... But a 2004 Newsome bill required 8th graders to be allowed to take algebra! sr19.senate.ca.gov/content/sena...
