That's good though I see it often enough. True about the pants! They should be breaking on the laces. For someone harping on appearance, he really looks like he pulled a too small suit off the rack. What say you, @dieworkwear.bsky.social ?

I absolutely agree with this sentiment. Howard Dean was correct that Dems ought to have a 50 state strategy. It incrementally builds base, lifts local candidates, advocates for forgotten corners, and most importantly is the high moral ground we need to stand on. #resist #mepolitics #MSSen #VoteBlue

The value of the distributed nature of renewables has been very much undersold.

Kurt Hansen 🥄🏳️‍🌈🌎 @trypax.charityweb.net · 14h
It is fairly shocking how deeply engrained the idea that renewables are expensive is in the brain of Americans. I think it’s a Calvinist thing; if good, there must be some cost. I had to repeatedly remind a friend during a discussion that renewables plus storage is the cheapest option now.

Pakistan would need to import expensive LNG for it to replace coal. This will not happen as LNG is much more expensive than coal. So, if solar plus storage is beating coal in Pakistan it will crush LNG for power generation.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Cutting interest rates will reduce what US pays on the debt, reducing deficit further. Then, 2% wealth tax on assets over $10M brings in $800B/year so some other good stuff can be done: - free childcare and pre-K - encourage home building

Kurt Hansen 🥄🏳️‍🌈🌎 @trypax.charityweb.net · 30/09/2026
Just doing 3 things will wipe out most of deficit, causing interest rates to drop: - Switch to Medicare for All ($1T savings per Yale) - Encourage immigration ($400B boost per Cato) - Cut DoD budget to inflation adjusted FY2000 levels ($250B cut from $750B budget. Xtra spending has given us more war

Dems should go all in on pro legal immigration. Even most anti-immigrant folks (except for the racists) opposed the ILLEGALITY not the immigration. Plus, people want leaders to take strong positions. GOP has been taking strong, unpopular positions for years, and they win elections.

there is both a moral and an economic case to be made for encouraging immigration. “Making the pathways straight,” to borrow another Biblical phrase.

Great article, Greg! Love your closing! Two other things to note: 1) US Catholic bishops oppose GOP on this. I don’t think they have been as unified on an issue opposing GOP since the 80’s. 2) Cato report shows immigrants adding a net $14T to government coffers from ‘94-‘13. That’s $400B/yr. So,

By 2029, Dems must offer a New Reconstruction Deal. Or suffer a resurgent GOP in 2032. People want real, substantive positive change in their lives. They have been voting for it every election since 2006. Trump has given the wrong change; Dems have huge chance to give the right change.

It has been eight days since Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez was shot by ICE while making a DoorDash delivery in Austin, Texas. He is currently facing a severe medical emergency. The bullet remains lodged in his back, and he is being held at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall.
DOORDASH IS ABANDONING ITS DRIVERS
URGENT UPDATE:
8 days after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back while he was making a DoorDash delivery, the bullet remains in his body. Wilber is in agonizing pain inside a TX concentration camp, and the silence from DoorDash is deafening. A photo of Wilber smiling, before ICE shot him, is shown.

One week out, and this is where “I’ll do it later” starts costing people. If somebody in your family keeps saying they’ll get around to it, call them. If your coworker just moved and has been meaning to update everything, remind them.

Just to be sure...I should have noted that I believe both versions are contradictory to the message of the Gospel. Just that the Puritan version did have a bit going for it. The contemporary version is through and through heresy.

I've heard recently that the version of the Prosperity Gospel first pushed by the Puritans was that if you were good and thus prosperous, you were obligated to share your prosperity. Now, Prosperity Gospel indicates your are good so you don't really need to do anything more than say thanks.
