I had the opportunity to attend an event with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social Great event with fantastic energy. I have been around a lot of candidates over the years. This dude has “it”. Let’s get him across the finish line. Send him a few bucks and plan to knock some doors. I am.

The depressing fact is that with the $40T in debt we got fuck all. I can excuse about $4T to get us through the pandemic but after that??

I’m quite sure that my inappropriate thoughts are, in fact, very appropriate.

It would be awesome if Steven Miller went and was assigned the task of explaining the offside rule to Trump until he understood it.

Folks- asking for help spreading my new term of art (if someone else said it I’m happy to give them credit). We must call Socialism what it is- Compassionate Capitalism. When repubs brandish us as communists we must quickly retort “no, I’m a compassionate capitalist”. Let’s get infrint of this now!

Ignoring the incredibly stupid second paragraph they could have written “Trump makes a good case for banning the electoral college through his vindictive decision making”

Woody Hayes would call this effort amateurish. He used to shut the water off to Michigan Football’s hotel in Columbus.

Well if we are going to talk about history and our founding fathers we should pause on Thomas Paine who really thought the concentration of wealth was a scourge and promoted sharing property.

Please read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr. He does a great job of explaining our difficult and ongoing relationship with PR (among other places).

Funny. People I know who have met Lutnick describe him as powerfully stupid. I’m sure he noticed the difference from Fable4.

Just a quick reminder: Loyalists in Northern Ireland were racist against Irish. There isn’t much friction preventing them from starting their hate campaigns (except maybe the front two legs of their walkers scrapping the sidewalk).

Don’t hate me for this but while I loath Ann Coulter she is at least the most honest. She hates brown people, says it, and makes it clear that is the reason she supports Trump. Her open racism is better than the entire Heritage Foundation wing which thinly veils their blatant racism and hatred!

Two thoughts - senate R’s can take a bow for voting for the ballroom while also not undermining the parliamentarian and maybe really relishing this. I want to know who must explain what a Parliamentarian is to Trump and how insane his response will be. Will he in fact blame Keir Starmer?

I hope that when Cam Schlittler (pitcher for Yankees) finds true love he considers taking his wine’s last name. The announcers would be thrilled.

This would be fun to watch. I think he gets confirmed because, while all senators would love to humiliate him, they would be more pleased to not see him again. He might even garner a few dems (jk).

I just finished reading King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochchild. Can’t recommend it enough. Some amazing facts about Leopold: Obsessed with having his own (personal) colony. Involved with a child rape ring that also included a member of the British royal family. No taste in music. Continued…

I’m reading an amazing book about one of the worst people in history (King Leopold II) and this paragraph really stood out in the similarities to our dear leader.

For those who hate “illegal” immigrants, they might want to consider building up countries instead of setting them on fire.

I challenge our Capitol Hill bartenders to create a Fog of War cocktail in honor of the war secretary. It should be bitter, very strong and burn.

Just a photo of World Central Kitchen feeding federal government workers. Totally normal stuff. Would be nice if WCK didn’t need to focus resources on feeding people in the wealthiest country in the world.

We need to fight for arts education for many reasons but maybe the most pressing reason is that the rise of AI will mean that we will be an economy of creatives. We need to foster that now.

I mused with a few of my higher ed friends this summer about ending tenure once you can collect SS. We need to create movement in the ranks and free up budgets to support the next generation.

I’m shocked that Trump and Hegseth wanted to show off their dazzling intellect in front of 800 much smarter people. Never thought they would actively invite a cop either.
