Journalists observe this on a daily basis, and not one of them asks the question: “Why.”

Yep. We need to totally rebuild our democracy. Half measures will not come close to sufficing.

Stop calling this a DC makeover. This is an illegal desecration of our capital and a huge waste of American families’ money. DC is sacred ground, and we shouldn’t minimize the real damage being done.

Pathetic performance by GM and Ford. Frankly, this is what the Democratic Senate candidates in Michigan and Ohio should be talking about. Both of those companies are willfully steering themselves into long-term oblivion.

Donald Trump is destroying the national capital to build Trump monuments. I wish liberal leaders would stop acting like it’s embarrassing to care. It’s an abomination, just like the war, the corruption, the racism.

Congrats to Tyty Washington for signing with a team in the French league. Players drafted in the six picks after Rafael Stone selected Tyty in the 2022 NBA draft: Peyton Watson Andrew Nembhard Jaylin Williams Max Christie It would've been nice to get an actual NBA player with that pick.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Note: if that arrangement seems too cute since Tilman owns both the Rockets and Landry's, then I will sell 40% ownership of my LLC shell company to The Fertitta Trust for $190M and then sign Amen Thompson to an endorsement contract for $150M. Problem solved.

Andrew Soukup @andrewsoukup.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Absolutely. Use this during the campaign now. "We may need to expand the Supreme Court in 2029." "We may need to start using Congress' absolute authority to imprison someone for refusing to answer questions about Trump's corruption." "We'll have to look at impeaching Trump for a 3rd time."

Andrew Soukup @andrewsoukup.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Amen Thompson's new contract extension now should be $50M for four years. Simultaneously, he should sign a $150M endorsement deal with Landry's Inc. that requires him to post "Eat At Landry's" on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at least once per year. Just don't write an email with the plan.

Awful behavior by Democratic Party leaders (Jeffries, Schumer, Marc Elias, etc.). It's not surprising that the left has its share of scammers to run these operations. It's hugely disappointing that Party leaders willingly enable them.
