My favorite version of this is Slotkin saying we need an "all of the above" energy policy in her first "war plan" speech and including, inexplicably, "fusion" as one of the all of the above. Alas, she dropped it next time she did the soundbite; cold fusion advocacy was interesting, at least.

The longer we take to rein in legal gambling the worse the fallout is going to be (e.g. illegal gambling surging), which is to say I hope we do it sooner rather than later.

He was going all in on this here until he stopped posting a month ago. Should be his moment to shine, smh

Once again asking for someone to follow this up with a question asking for specific examples of the Democratic Party doing this.

Almost started arguing with a prison abolitionist who acknowledges they don't have a viable alternative but that it doesn't matter cause prisons are bad. Didn't do that. That's growth.

it doesnt mention the actual situation (people tried to stop the car and this almost certainly was preventable) until THE END OF THE ARTICLE.

The last time anarchists were allowed to control a significant area in the US was only a few years ago, during the CHAZ. The CHAZ managed to kill more black teenagers per capita than any police force in the United States

I don't know what happened today and I don't want to.

Would feel way better about them if the admin wasn't dead set on killing renewables as fast as possible

Today, @miattygen.bsky.social Dana Nessel is urging Michigan residents to file public comments with the Michigan Public Service Commission calling for public hearings over DTE’s plans to service an anticipated 1.4-gigawatt data center in Saline. Read more at go.mi.gov/occON1352

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has stated that the US air strikes on “alleged” drug smuggling boats will be treated under international law as crimes against humanity.

I dunno why Fetterman fell down, but he is a bad senator that isn't representing his voter's interests and should resign for his own sake, the sake of his constituents, and the country.

These are the people who want to inspect your kids genitals before they play soccer btw

If I* ever argue that a 40+ year old raping a 15 year old isn't that bad because it's not like a 15 year old is a kindergartner, put me down. *Me, specifically, this is not advocating anyone else to do this to anyone else.

Still planning to vote for El-Sayed in the primary, but I am at a point where Sanders's endorsement is more of a turn off than not for me now.

Think one part of this dynamic is that people don't expect those sorts of scoops to actually accomplish anything this time, since they generally didn't the first time. Like that NYTimes reporter coming on here talking about sharing and reading his work was accountability right after...

I would really like to suggest that people with connections to elite media making a defense full of holes and then not engaging with good faith criticisms of the raggedy defense are really not doing those institutions any favors (maybe that's the goal - well played!).

Cackling Fuck this guy

It seems relevant that the newest candidate for the Republican senate primary plead no contest to welfare fraud given, you know, current Republican messaging about SNAP.

This is the most depressing - and inaccurate in its one dimensionality - description of cities I've ever heard.

I can agree with this thread, and also feel like what is being explained here - all perfectly reasonable - still reveals, to me as a non-journalist, a different standard than the one that must have justified publishing an insinuation that Biden might have Parkinson's b/c a particular doc visited.

Also people found him personally charming. He was a conman, among other things, right? One thing he and Trump had in common; being superficially charming to the individuals they want to charm.

Ugh. Don't you hate it when you order door dash and they give you the wrong stuff?

Man, I hope Yale's medical school is better than its law school

This is misinformation. The discharge petition forces a floor vote on a resolution which amends a bill hanging in limbo and passes it, which if it became law would require the Department of Justice to make documents related to the Epstein case publicly available.

What's up with the baby murder Harvard thing

The really shitty, ubiquitous ads on truth social really make it all a bit surreal

This is why I am uh skeptical the gop is going to ditch trump

Found out today the one uncle out of there isn't maga, which is a relief. Lives in Seattle, but was a dentist who owned his own practice, so honestly it was a coin toss.

Eh I admire anyone who has hope that the GOP will jettison Trump before he dies

He and the GOP are so fortunate that SCOTUS is gonna pull his hand off the tariff stove

I think if Democrats take back power with enough to votes to implement the sort of deep structural reforms we need to solve this problem rather than just slowly continuing to spiral down, we kind of definitionally have the votes to nuke the filibuster. Not sure it's better if Rs do it now.

Can't decide if it's worse if he is or isn't writing this because he's angling for his case to be dropped

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

OK I have been informed she was actually a year behind us, so that's less embarrassing. Year after that has produced one Michigan Supreme Court Justice, so it looks like my year was just a dud.

this isn't a 'demographic is destiny thing' (beyond the fact that millennials will not age politically like Gen X). it's a 'the Obama coalition had massive fractures that were hidden by the individual character of his presidency and now that far better describes the Trump coalition'

Literary Chinese for Pedophile Rulers: 嘉靖壬寅年，宮婢相結行弑，用繩係上喉，翻布塞上口，以數人踞上腹絞之，已垂絕矣。 In the ren-yin year of Jiajing, palace girls conspired to commit regicide by strangling the Emperor with a rope, gagging him, and getting several girls to sit on his chest to suffocate him until he was nearly dead.

Does glonzo still mean something totally made up with no possible connection to reality Feel like it's morphing into "think that is improbable and a distraction"

Bless the BBC for having more honesty about our president than the vast majority of our comparable domestic media

Sucks to be the door dash economist who has to keep things looking good no matter what least the president torch your job

I hate that this circumstance makes me feel joy at something I don't expect will have any meaningful effect on current circumstances except for making the worst man in America angry.

Me, a year ago: I wish we had more uniformity across the country in corporate governance *Monkeys paw curls*

Pluribus is terrifying in an existential way

sorry, isn't "mods should ignore potentially-ambiguous wishing of harm that we like and ban for potentially-ambiguous wishing of harm that we dislike" the most primordial of all bluesky moderation fights

And another thing, we should stop tolerating anti-social behaviors because it’s a big part of how we got here! As @cooperlund.online said, “would you say that shit to me in a bar”

Every time I think its impossible for me to like him more, he proves me wrong.

"everyone wants to be the mod" remains undefeated

The company has a pretty no-nonsense policy about death threats, and it really doesn't take jokes or references as sufficient padding to excuse them. It's one of those things that just comes from this being a big public space. Everybody will claim they're "just kidding"

This is kind of the thing - post like the person enforcing the rules doesn't know you and doesn't have the time to try to figure out the precise context of your thing that, on its face, violates the ToS.
