The only two things I am sure about in life: 1) Life is a team sport, so be a good team player so you can play on a good team. 2) Life is weird, and then it gets weirder.

Our board member and former CareCentrix CEO John Driscoll inherited a company on the brink. His fix? Freeze executive pay. Raise worker wages to $15 an hour. The result? The company tripled in size and sold for over $1 billion. Paying workers fairly is good business.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, had a history of “terrifying and violent” behavior. This is a feature, not a bug, of ICE’s new recruits.

Homeland Security boss Markwayne Mullin says he's trying to "remove us from the headlines every single day." One way to do that would be if Mullin got ICE to stop murdering people in the streets. But instead, he says, "we're turning up the heat on the streets."

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...
In the paragraph that follows, I am going to briefly subject you to something that, if I were not writing a newsletter, I would not ask my worst enemy to read: insights from the mind of Riley Gaines, whose ability to parlay a fifth-place finish at a college swim meet into a career as an anti-trans podcaster is a tribute to what late-stage capitalism can accomplish.

“I think we’re going to continue to see movement and allow the people’s voice to be heard, especially in some of those purple states,” Gaines told Politico last month, after the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. B.P.J. upheld state lawmakers’ power to bar trans girls from playing women’s sports. “Each major decision gives your ordinary person more cover to say something that…was the standard, like the default position to take, really not that long ago.”

In other words, B.P.J. is not (only) about keeping girls like 16-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson from playing on the same team as her friends. It is about empowering people to feel more comfortable expressing rank bigotry in public.

This is why, speaking as a reporter who has covered a lot of this stuff, I find it bizarre that a lot of the commentariat don't see where anti-trans stuff is going. Gaines et al are pretty clear about how they see sports as a way to win battles that bathroom stuff didn't like a decade ago.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71
Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget.

As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary.
During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats.

The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Russia’s war machine is funded by increased oil sales due to the US/Israel-Iran war and lifted sanctions. Iran has more freedoms on nuclear program now than before AND sanctions are lifted. Ukraine is seen as a receiver of aid instead of producer of war-tested drones. Half truths aren’t helping.
