Did a one pot wonder of carrots, mushrooms, and red pearl onions braised down with chicken then creamed out the leftover pan sauce with some herby bread. Good eating #blueskysupperclub

Fun thing to do with the ridiculous Nixon rehabbing talking points that have gone out in certain networks. Just ask whoever is Nixonmaxxing in public about the Nixon price fixing that did most of the economic damage & inflation we blame Carter for and watch 'em squirm

Assuming she runs, the only number that matters for Kamala Harris is her South Carolina polling. That's the only one that matters. If she can win there she's the runaway nominee. If she can't, she's toast and shouldn't bother. Rest is noise www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Kamala Harris has a 2028 opening — and a 2024 problem

The former Democratic standard bearer retains considerable respect in the party, but there’s an undercurrent of anxiety about her return to the political conversation.

I have suggested, opined, asked, & borderline begged on air, in writing, in conversations public & private for Governor Morrisey and his team to talk to the folks via the WV press directly. When you don't, narrative is shaped for you. And it ain't a good narrative right now. At all

westvirginiawatch.com

Commentary: Morrisey’s administration now competing with Justice’s for title of least transparent • West Virginia Watch

Gov. Morrisey bragged about how transparent he was with the press when he first took office. But he should answer to the people and the press.

westvirginiawatch.com

New polling shows Morrisey at 31-45% approval; it could affect Republican candidates this fall • West Virginia Watch

While Gov. Morrisey isn’t on the ballot this year, numbers in some key Senate districts reveal the governor is underwater in popularity.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

The death penalty is about politics, not justice. There is no evidence of a deterrent effect (not even when expedite it). It's about appearing tough on crime and making executions seem merciful even when they're not. Scrap the whole thing. It's not worth the expense, the mess or the suffering.

Croque monsieur, which is just the French being insufferable over a hot ham & cheese. This riff uses leftovers: cheese sauce from the other night, marbled cheddar instead of grueyer, black forest deli ham, mayo, dijon, some chices. Good stuff #blueskysupperclub
