I like cycling and US policy/public policy. It's great because there is zero overlap and makes for a very interesting feed. Great to see so many of you move here from Twitter! Keep Bluesky great.

You've replied five times and you still have not even attempted to explain how you'd vote in this example and how that indicates you're holding the line.

You've replied four times now and we still have no idea how we can "hold the line" with our vote.

My savings are what I use to pay my credit card bill every month. It's just mentally so much easier to put it all on a credit card, get the bill 0-28 days later, and then have 28 MORE days to figure out how to pay it off. Oh, and then set up an automatic payment one day before the due date.

I can't tell if you're talking about the movie or the host segments. Because, damn, the movie effects are pretty sweet.

That doesn't explain why the interactive chart data and the publication data are so different. The interactive chart says it's getting data from the same place. But, for instance, the 2022 20-39.9 median net worth is 64.1 in the interactive chart but 77.7 in the dataset you're posting.

The dollar amounts may not be large but it leads to very large % changes at the bottom. The net worth of the bottom 20% changes from a 6% drop to a 31% drop.

I can't square the differences in, for example, Table 2 (net worth changes by income) and the changes in net worth by income when you use the interactive charts. www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/...

He attacks his opponent both coming and going. "Nazi-lover Mike Collins wants to take away your healthcare" "Corrupt bigot Mike Collins wants to take away your to vote" "Shady double-dealing Mike Collins loves the tariffs that make your food so expensive"

Further, the 90-100 net worth did not increase 31%, that's a reverse of the under 20 decrease of 31%. The 90-100 net worth increased 25%.

Guachi @guachi.bsky.social · 19h
The chart is wrong. 80-89 dropped 6% (what the under 20 bar shows) and the under 20 bar should show a 31% drop. The under 20 net worth was a record high in 2022 and the 2025 value is still 2nd highest, despite the large drop.

What I love about Ossoff is that he insults his opponent both coming and going. And he says the actual full name of his opponent over and over and over again.

Prices are not skyrocketing and until recently real wages were rising. In fact, right now wages have never been higher relative to grocery prices. It's possible that will change with new wage data but given what data we have now it's true.

16 lines about Israel being bad and 4 about Hamas being bad on the anniversary of a massive Hamas terrorist attack. It's just a terrible statement. Write the first four lines and then STFU.

OMFG I am completely destroyed by this LinkedIn post by Michael White, the father of Magnus White (a very promising junior racer who was killed at the age of 17 in 2023 by a young woman who was eventually convicted of vehicular homicide).

"His mother grew up in Gjøvik before moving to the United States to study at the age of 20, where she met Magnus’ father. " This right here is a huge reason America is so powerful. Its universities are a magnet for foreigners. You can multiply this by a million. It's Obama's story, for instance.

Cautious. When I last looked, their toss-up ratings slightly underestimated R chances of winning. Lean is about an 80% chance of winning.

I've looked at Cook ratings compared to the results. They do underestimate win chances in a wave election. Also, Cook LEAN ratings mean about an 80% chance to win. And LIKELY is about 98%. They aren't really that close.

Very little that Ds do in 2027 or 2028 will actually result in much. So you have to pick the best things to spend your time on and I think half a dozen different impeachment hearings from half a dozen different committees is a great use of time. What else are you going to do?

What I'm getting from El-Sayed's campaigning is that Black and Jewish Democrats are easier gets than bigoted white voters who may, for example, have voted for Whitmer in 2022. I think that's just the reality in Michigan and if El-Sayed wins he'll win close and underperform the other Ds by 10 points
