Atomic Spaceman @handle.invalid · 12/08/2026Lamont is of course going to call his win over Elliot as an endorsement of his tepid oatmeal brand of moderate bullshit, but governors who have the voters’ confidence don’t have to worry about credible primary challenges.

Atomic Spaceman @handle.invalid · 24/01/2026On the other side of the coin, if the real purpose of DOGE was to cripple the federal government because of the right wing cult tenet that private businesses always do a better job, they’ve done a pretty good job of blowing up that argument with this. 000
