Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

The dollar feels a lot smaller than it used to be… Thought with all the warming oceans, we wouldn’t see this sort of shrink-inflation.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

In that picture paired with the interview, he looks looks like the dementia patients you see in a memory ward. The lost look in his eyes. Dementia is a horrible disease, but I have no empathy or sympathy for him or his family, and only ill thoughts for his enablers.

For me that was part of it but the clearly work-shopped phrasing and cadence. It was not a casual slip, it was planned, refined and said with the thought that it was so cool.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

Possibly depends on steel type. The book American Steel by Richard Preston was a pretty good read about Nucor Steel in Indiana. Not sure what the Iowa plant will be producing.

I know we're all* numb to this by now, but it really needs to be said that any one of the batshit insane tyrant tweets from our special little boy would've led to swift efforts to remove any other previous president.

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

He spent 11 months inside DOGE. Now he wants to set the record straight.

In his first major interview about his tell-all memoir, Tyler Hassen describes the culture clash surrounding DOGE’s mission and the backlash that followed.

That's a solid idea. When I was in you absolutely avoided going to Medical. Basically every health issue was self-medicated with 800mg of Ibuprofen and beer, if that still didn't fix the issue maybe you'd go see medical, maybe.
