This is good but still presents an implementation challenge because Throw polling at 60% is misleading when Take polls at 5%.

Encapsulates all of this. Dimwit Boomer blithely votes for Pure Evil because her petty grievances are easily manipulated into hate, unwittingly signs off murdering her own daughter and then asks how could this happen. Fucking bummer.

I don't think a partial shut down for months to not provide funding to ICE, and forcing Republicans to do it through reconciliation count as "not moving at all".

anti vax MAHA parents are behaving much the same as transphobic or homophobic parents, and with the same outcomes; they torture their children for their own self aggrandizement.

We really need to push back on the narrative that actually doctors were so snooty they made people say “I’m still glad I didn’t vaccinate my kid who just died of measles”. The pathos is way fucking deeper than a pediatrician was condescending one time. This framing undercuts medical expertise.

Canadians love to say "Trump isn't an aberration because America has done bad things before". Ok, but Trump's obsessions here are, in fact, an aberration. You can draw a through line from the vile right wing nexus to the Iran War. Not so with the Canada stuff, or tariffs in general.

"The writer served as the general manager of the Baltimore Orioles from November 2011 until October 2018." This rules. Former (good) GM calling out current (sinister) GM for being a liar. O's players and fans deserve better than Mike Elias.

It's maddeningly common for people to claim the reason they didn't give credit to Biden for withdrawing from Afghanistan in August 2021 was because of what he did in October 2023.

Politics is about persuasion except when it isn't, and the politician's job is to know what time it is. Matty and this professor are both too blithely confident about what works.

What’s the point of all that money if you’re just going to bow and scrape like a worm www.wired.com/story/trump-...
When Trump and Bezos dined in December 2024, according to the book, Trump told Bezos, “This Washington Post is really unfair. You've got to take better care”—a remark that prompted Bezos to commiserate with the incoming president.

“The people there are terrible,” Bezos allegedly replied, complaining about the business side of The Washington Post he had hoped to make profitable. “They don't listen. My other companies, they listen.” (This exchange was earlier reported by the New York Post.)
