Cofounder of helpful. I get the snowballs rolling down the hills. I'm capping the # of people I'm following here to 101 to ensure unbelievably high signal. I mostly talk about startups, Midwest, and a 🤏 of politics that I think is under-discussed.

To be fair, he's the *getting shit done*. Guy of the DNC. The problem is the DNC does not have very many of these but the GOP has tons which is why they get so much shit done no matter how unethical, unpopular, or illegal. You may think he's a dinosaur but we need more people with his skill set.

As a weird random trivia, Kannon, the attorney for the energy company, is likely billing $4k/hr on this case, possibly 5k.

You can't think of yourself as someone who is knowledgeable about modern day politics but also not reading Seth's content. This is a requisite. 1000x more valuable than Washpo or NYT

It's nice to see journalists are finally getting slightly better at talking to Trump lackeys. I mean, it's only taken 10 years.

It's wild how once again she conforms to Trump's "look" that he insists all females around him conform to - thin - blonde hair at just to her shoulders - flawless skin and teeth They must all look like his eldest daughter. Trump's psyche is such a mess.

I'd like to see a competent government attorney write a post about: A. what will likely happen and B. what should happen if it turns out McConnell has been deceased or incapacitated all this time.

The partial giveaway here is the firm used, the partners used, and what companies routinely do this. It is overwhelmingly likely, with 90% certainly, that this is: Apple, Meta, Google, or Microsoft Sadly there is no real drama here to be found here. At least not yet.

(🚨) Here it is. A massive report on what is really happening and what is about to happen in Iran. We have been failed by the institutions that were supposed to help protect us, and the next stage of the Great Iran War is likely to be its bloodiest.

The Second Iran War Continues. There Is No Ceasefire. And Things Are About to Explode.
Our energy, food and financial networks now rest on media reporting what Trump and his administration aim to hide—that there’s never been a ceasefire in the Second Iran War and that the war continues.

(🚨) OK, the time has come. Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump. Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.

Awesome how this unsanctioned and illegal war somehow became Iran's fault and therefore the current state of our economy is also their fault.

Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it. A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years.

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish
Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

this is an upper middle class suburb and this is an upper middle class neighborhood. These homes are 600K each which for Minnesota is top 5%. It's very weird that their data would send them there unless they are looking for Indians that work in corp IT. Certainly not "the worst of the worst"

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."
