I love this article. Not just because it explains why strategic and value based purchasing isn’t producing intended effects in the Netherlands. It also explains why so many fiddly “incentive-compatible” health reforms simply don’t work- their underlying theory of organizations is often wrong.
The idea that there is one ideological dimension and parties must seek the median voter along that dimension is both unbelievably stupid and apparently one you are required to hold in order to to be booked into a TV pundit appearance
I mean this only half jokingly but pretty much any country could just ship oil to Cuba right now and the US really couldn't do anything could it
This is some of the dumbest shit in history. Please make it all stop.
French Laundry chef again scolds Bay Area town over affordable housing project
lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit
2) Even if there's still a physical performance gap, it is worth having someone my size carry more to have plenty of women on the team because in most places we need to operate the male personnel can't access 1/2 the population! 3/
But imagine how much more effective you can be doing unconventional warfare (UW) when you have women Soldiers who can access 1/2 the population the male Soldiers can't. 5/

I read that as "Senator Muffin" and you know what? "Secretary Markwayne Muffin" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Congratulations DHS Secretary Stephen miller on continuing to be DHS Secretary
Yes but 29. :)
Behind Rakhi Israni's empty rhetoric is a record of cutting checks to far-right extremists. Israni claims she’s running as a Democrat when she’s really running as a fraud.
Also: Shit like this is why you need journalists in courtrooms. You wouldn't even know that this man exists from the court record or even the remote-access phone line.

Just one that’s fighting stupidly in support of an inept ignorant president and his violent drunken walking zipper malfunction of a secdef.
There are Many Items of Note in today’s Law Dork, including:
- the substance of the show cause hearing in the trans prison care case, including Royce Lamberth quotes
- a Royce Lamberth story
- an after-court “emergency” filing that DOJ didn’t even mention at the hearing
- several off-putting moments
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
Pundits think Democrats will take back the House in November
But folks-I’m telling you now
If we REALLY want to change our government and stop the Trump junta
We need to grab control of the Senate, too
And that starts with Roy Cooper in North Carolina
Game on, people!
Take NOTHING for granted
Kat Abughazaleh isn’t running to “wait her turn.”
She’s running to fight.
No corporate PACs.
No watered down talking points.
No fear of right wing outrage.
Just spine!

I think this quote really nails a reason I think Lander is better than Goldman. Dan might be a great prosecutor, he knows the inside game, but he has absolutely zero outside game, and this moment requires a firm handle on both.
never seen this man have a bad take
Yeah, given the pattern of Trump toadies screaming their way through the hearings, this is essential. (Though a lot of this will depend on the committee chair, and all are GOP now of course.)
Three reminders why you should subscribe…
Mengele lives
Admissions so far:
1) They were lying abt threat from Iran.
2) They were lying about good faith of negotiations.
3) They begged UK for help immediately (and Ukraine offered needed expertise).
4) They're escalating on Day Two.
DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:
Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"
And, it included a non-party in the caption.
These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.
