One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Do you find ever yourself driving by a gas station, looking at the price and thinking "I wish there was some way that I could come here to fill up more often?" If so, you'll love Trump's roll back of national fuel economy standards. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump administration lowers fuel economy standards, critics say at a significant environmental cost
The Trump administration released new fuel economy standards on Monday, relaxing regulatory requirements for automakers to control pollution from gasoline-powered cars and light trucks.

Imagine a US politician saying "After decades of lies, millions of Americans experienced for the first time what real regime change and equality before the law really mean. America is finally not a country without consequences." It seems impossible.

Debates over legal liability for AI agents always remind me a bit of the early spring gun cases, like Bird v. Holbrook, 30 E.R. 911 (C.P. 1828). AI is new in a lot of ways, but the issue of legal liability for harms conducted by machines programmed to act on their own is not the new part.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

We desperately need a truth and reconciliation commission. It’s not simply about accountability, which may be stymied by Trump pardons. It’s about fully understanding and processing how far we fell as a nation, accepting that we put our faith in the wrong people, and knowing to never do it again.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

If Trump regrets excluding major news organizations and wants them back, they're in a position to make further demands before they return. One non-negotiable should be that he speaks to reporters, particularly Black women, with professionalism and respect. No name-calling or they walk. Every time.
