Steve is a good faith operator, so - in good faith, some answers but fundamentally what it comes down to with me is that this conservative supermajority makes real progressive governance impossible, and it will hold its power forever (through strategic retirement) unless stripped of that power

will try to answer these in a piece next week but for now i will say that part of the *point* of court expansion, in my mind, is to create a disequilibrium — a potential race to the bottom — that will force a truce.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

And, specifically, when you insist on replying to me with it — and I do not mean good-faith questions or analysis, but rather knee-jerk "they'll ignore it"/"there are no consequences" pablum — you tell me that you (1) don't actually know what's happening and (2) aren't attempting to understand.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

this week's bake off is kicking off with "american cookies" and i think it triggered my "Paul Hollywood s'mores" ptsd

an image of a treat that Paul Hollywood calls a "s'more". It is not a s'more. It is two round cookies, with a thin layer of chocolate perfectly spread on their insides, sandwiching a VERY lightly toasted marshmallow that is the exact size of the cookie. They look like little horrible cylinders. The marshmallow is not smushed up, it is standing tall like it's barely been touched by heat. Everything about it is wrong.

Hard to understate the discipline it would take to do this since it’s so tempting to attach other shit to popular legislation, but this is where IMO you have to sacrifice short term tactical gains for strategy and mass politics. Hill reporters know when it’s just a messaging bill vs. real stakes.

If they get both chambers Dems could pass several simple one-page bills with ultra-popular stuff like raising the minimum wage. No lobbyist BS, no games with amendments, something a middle school social studies class can understand and dare the Rs to veto.

To be honest, I’m not sure “it would have been a homer but it hit the roof” is any more compelling than “it would have been a homer in a park with a shorter wall.” Ball parks aren’t standard. They talk all the time about fly outs that would be home runs elsewhere, and vice versa.
