No more performative opposition from congressional Democrats. If there are always just enough defectors to undermine opposition, I’m going to assume the whole party is in on it.
I’ll believe you care when you’re willing to shut the government down and stand (IN PERSON) with Minnesotans.
Those seven were just cover for many of the rest of them. Jeffries publicly said he wasn’t going to whip the vote. He was fine with it.
He also said he'd be a dictator on day one. I'm more worried about that part.
@baldwin.senate.gov Please don't vote for this "deal" with Republicans.
Mighty Joe Moon by Grant Lee Buffalo.
Corrected: Cuomo wants power, Mamdani wants to help people, and moderate voters want to pretend to help people while protecting their societal position.
I think God could win over a bunch of converts by ensuring that Joni Ernst is diagnosed with a terminal medical condition in the next month or so.
Did Doge stop breaking stuff for a while or are we just too distracted by tariffs to hear about it?
Apropos of nothing, "dead cat bounce" is one of my favorite financial terms. So vivid.
Man does exactly what he's been saying he'd do for a while now; markets stunned.
You simply can't imagine how awful the Schimel ads are in Wisconsin. What a wretched campaign and candidate.
Also, running the Postal Service like a business likely means curtailed or eliminated service to low population density areas, where MAGA voters are more likely to live.
I'm expecting the claim to a "First Amendment Right to Discriminate" to become mainstream discourse any day now.
New cold weather bike commute record today. It was -13F before wind chill. I basically wore something similar to what I'd wear skiing on a cold day and was quite comfortable. I saw other bike tire tracks so I wasn't the only one out today.
Winter riding is fun! We had a small amount of snow overnight that was easy to ride on but enough to screw up driving commutes. Schadenfreude at its finest.
Same on the Post. Now we just need to convince Jamelle Bouie to move to The Guardian.
I know it cost the Times at least one subscriber.
I've hit my limit with Pamela Paul's "being at least a little anti-trans is the reasonable view" articles and the Times normalizing Trump (his bonkers cabinet picks are a "show of strength"?!?). Canceled the NY Times today.
