What is genuinely fascinating to me is he captured a political party full of economically literate people and got them to agree to pretend this isn't idiocy.

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

Someone told me "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Since the Republican "concern" is based on completely false information about reality from lies told by Republican leaders, it would be a lot to expect a "vision" for solving the nonexistent "problem." Especially since those same leaders have an incentive to make sure the "problem" is never solved.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Astonishing. I heard about this and expected something that would muddy the waters (at least for people predisposed to defend Platner). This is nothing, or rather, less than nothing (given "she responded by telling him not to do so"), which *strengthens* the evidence against Platner.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

It will be cowardly when the Knicks put Trump on the Jumbotron, the crowd erupts in the most ferocious boos of the season, and the TV network censors the audio. The wild cheers for Zohran will be the coup de grace. #NBA

Who are these traders reacting to Trump's market manipulation? Like, have they not noticed he just makes things up over the 11 years or so he's been involved in politics? Any estimates regarding what's going to happen with Iran should completely discount statements from the President.
