our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

Watching #MESen debate and Collins's voice is noticeably more quavering than it was six years ago. Not her fault, she can't control it, but clearly helps Jackson, who is not a world class debater but sounds much much younger than her.

How nice for them. Next question: which act of Congress authorized this expenditure of federal funds? Quaint it may be, but our constitution forbids drawing funds from the treasury except pursuant to acts of congress.

Lots of talk since 2024 among certain consultants about how the Electoral College gets hopeless for Dems after 2030 when the "blue wall" Midwest states no longer have enough votes to deliver an EC majority. But all EC bias predictions depend on Texas being a close but dependable Republican state.
I did some back of the envelope Electoral College math and the GOPs advantage depends entirely on Texas. If Texas is no longer reliably red, the Dems have a clear advantage going forward

Obviously, the regulatory solution to the infrastructure side of AI is to compel firms to only use 100% carbon-free power generation via renewables. The glonzo shit is wasting the best opportunity we’ve ever had to make the grid green and get big tech to pay for it.

Americans do not understand that the United States is currently a dual state, in which the 'immigration system' (& spending via OMB, etc.) is operating as a lawless totalitarian prerogative state, alongside more normal processes of the normative state in other areas of law & policy.

Southerners resisting Reconstruction left us with little good, but the term "carpetbagger," meaning someone (supposedly, for those then using the word) foisted upon the general population by outsiders with the purpose of using government to rob the people blind, fits Ramaswamy perfectly.

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

American voters hated wages rising faster than prices. Thought rising real wages and high monthly job creation was the worst economy ever. So they voted for a candidate with inflation-raising policy who openly sided with the richest bosses. And got the lower wages and higher prices they voted for.

Polling Hispanics in Texas is always notoriously challenging, so, grain of salt, but it will be very funny if this pans out and just 2 years of Stephen Miller's anti-Latino government completely reverses the decades of inroads the GOP had made with Hispanic voters here and locks in Blexas.

The only reason you would choose South Carolina over Georgia -- a state that both (a) has a larger Black population and (b) is a swing state -- is to appease Jim Clyburn, and that is not a way to run a party.
