Someday Elon is going to die, and it’s going to be funny, and people are going to say “don’t laugh! He has a family that loves him!” I think it’s very important to remember that no, in fact, he very specifically does not.

Texas is the oil rich second largest economy in the wealthiest country on Earth and yet every story from there sounds like a third world country. “eradicated disease outbreak” “power grid collapse.” That’s GOP control.

Nice to see this. My current ranking is Myrie, A. Adams, Mamdani, then Lander. Great that they’re doing this, the WFP is basically the only minor party that actually works at gaining electoral power.

I’m generally sympathetic to the abundance agenda but I do think it relies heavily on the assumption of a world beating U.S. economy which we simply will not have by the time this is over, if indeed it ever is. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/...

Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

My contrarian view is that Chuck Schumer’s decision on the CR was the optimal one. Simultaneously avoids the negative ramifications of a shut down and concentrates the anger of the party on himself, forcing a needed change in leadership.

I really didn’t enjoy the last recession, but in retrospect it’s kind of nice that Bush didn’t do it on purpose.
