It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

The Kansas GOP attacking Adam Hamilton as a "woke preacher" for a sermon that urged his congregation to live more responsibly as climate change threatens should make every mainliner proud. May every one of us be attacked for caring about the future of the planet and creation.

This is piling on, but there is no Section 109, Row 1 for Atlanta Hawks games in State Farm Arena.
A chart from GOP senate staffers showing a text message from Jack Smith's staff asking if Section 109, Row 1 was reserved for Jack.For basketball games at State Farm Arena, there is no row labeled "Row 1."
Instead, the very first row of Section 109 for basketball is labeled Row AA.
How the Rows Work in Section 109
The rows in Section 109 do not follow a standard numerical order. They are split into double-letter and single-letter configurations:
• Premium Club Seats (Closest to Court): The rows start at Row AA (the true front row of the section) and run through Row NN.
• Standard Lower Bowl Seats: The section continues further back with Row P through Row X.

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Trump is raging at news orgs for refusing to cover his reception of Xi after he banned three from the White House. The real lesson here: When institutions join together to resist his abuses of power it actually works, sending him into a helpless fury. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

@jvl.bsky.social ’s thesis about the people (they’ve gone rotten) is always dark but shades different depending on the day. My thesis overlaps his but does differ: the people were always disappointing but depended on good leadership and good systems to thrive. We’re in a bad patch for both rn.

Everyone’s focusing on the wrong words that Trump used yesterday! THESE are the words that should be of most concern: “Do I drive them into hell…” We’re underplaying the religious component of Christian nationalism & their End Times beliefs. We keep analyzing politics and overlooking theology! 🧵

Diesel, gasoline, potash, etc. are physical things. Millions of tons of the stuff has to move from some locations to various other locations, facilitated by infrastructure that takes a while to develop. This isn't a video game. You can't just drag a resource bar and quickly shift where stuff goes.

I think for a lot of Dem pols that this is earnest faith in a neoliberal construct that passed them by. They can’t process new circumstances because it’s belief, not rational. Adjusting would be like removing both carabiners at once on a ropes course. So they yell “I can’t do *that*!!”.
