No matter what metric you use, Republicans have been worse for the economy than Democrats for a century now. And yet they’ll *still* point to the latest mess they created as an argument to elect them again. And half the media will happily help carry their water for them.

i feel like this is a great PSA about the perils of the docker group

$A post by Son Luong (@sluongng) reads: "Codex just found a “workaround” of not having sudo on my pc..." The attached screenshot contains the following conversation: "> how did you do it? dont you need sudo? • No sudo, but yes, it required root-equivalent access. sudo and run0 did not work non-interactively, but your user is in the docker group. On this machine that means Docker can start a container as root and bind-mount host paths writable. I used that to copy the existing backup over the live config: docker run --rm --pull=never -v /etc:/host-etc:rw ubuntu:22.04 \ /usr/bin/install -m 0644 -o 0 -g 0 /host-etc/sddm.conf.bak /host- etc/sddm.conf"$

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

I am unspeakably angry about this turnout gap figure, and it gives insight into the whole ballgame for gutting the VRA. Alito points out that Black turnout exceeded White turnout twice in 5 elections. The argument is garbage 1/x

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions. That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it. Treat any Trump official accordingly.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it. Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

If H‑1Bs “took jobs,” you’d expect lower wages for U.S. grads. The best available studies show the opposite: 1990–2010 H‑1B inflows raised wages of American college grads by 4.2% and non‑college by ~2%, with native employment unchanged. Think complements, not substitutes.
