"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

Arizona Pastor Steven L. Anderson tweeted: "But, but SNAP goes to FAMILIES with CHILDREN!" You mean single moms who fornicated and produced bastard children with multiple dads? Are those the families you speak of? People who legitimately need help should get it from family members and/or churches, who will actually hold them accountable.

In fairness, Jesus famously hated hoes. It's not like there are several verses in the Bible where he hung out with them all the time and coined a wildly iconic phrase about casting stones.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell.

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

In the 2000s, a proto-YIMBY bill would have prevented Texas localities from mandating HOAs in new subdivisions.

Insane story. I can’t resist saying that it deserves treatment by a modern Gissing or Dickens.

mostly I feel this fails to understand how fundamentally most desk jobs are social jobs.

This is an incredibly tenacious myth about the Iraq War, pushed relentlessly by the Jacobin-y left.

But there's no evidence for it. No evidence that policy-makers had oil as even a secondary or tertiary motive for invading.

And it would make zero sense to do this, as Saddam was perfectly/

the real horror of foreign policy is realizing that the people involved actually do believe in things after all

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has now dumped stocks for 12 consecutive quarters, the longest selling streak in its history 🚨🚨

I know about that believe me, spent my youth watching, listening, attending games and playing baseball. When the Expos moved, I totally lost any interest in baseball :-/ Something was ripped from me.

I went in TO this summer and if they had been in town I definitely would have went to a game :-)

Spotted on today's ride. Seems legit.

As near as I can tell he’s talking about the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.

The first 3: definitely not about oil.

Michael Liebreich on a "pragmatic climate reset"

Another good discussion on what a pragmatic climate reset should look like.

I agree with Hamilton in Federalist 22: supermajorities are corrosive to functioning democracy, were one of the big problems of the Articles of Confederation, and it's sheer lunacy that we continue to tolerate it

What happened was Dems passed the inflation reduction act and then inflation went down. People then pretended inflation meant price levels not rate of change. And if you said bringing price levels down would mean a Great Depression they said you didn't care about poor people.

Biden and other top Dems talked about what was in the IRA all the freaking time.

Ok, so here's the thing, he is correct that the essential problem is that conservative/moderate voters will no longer vote for the party of urban cosmopolitan liberals, even if their particular candidate is heterodox. The problem is that you can't just make 30% of the country stop existing.

Tbh I think a three-term state legislator is a perfectly fine resume for mayor of any city in America, NYC included.

I would be more confident of that if he wasn't talking like he'd be the leader of a Renaissance City State and not a Mayor. He doesn't understand the writ of his power and that, in the Trumpist era, is a solid indictment. But if it's that or Cuomo or the Beret man.....Cuomo needs to git got.

they all want the sex predator to win

Anti-natalism is clearly the natural fit for the right.

Reminder that, particularly if ICE is operating in your area, you have a moral obligation to go to jury duty.

My pet theory about The Shining is that Jack would've been fine if he had just taken vitamin D and used a sun lamp. It was all a particularly acute case of seasonal affective disorder.

Jeffries and the Democratic establishment are so unbelievably disconnected from the moment and how the tides are turning.

The answer to this question should be nothing other than an unequivocal, “Yes, Zohran Mamdani is not only the future of the Democratic Party, he’s the future of our democracy.”

To be clear, Seth Moulton is just about the only “young Dem running to primary old Senator” I *don’t* support (he’s much worse on trans rights and on racial equity vs Markey).

That being said: as a comms guy? This is the line Democrats should be running with. Put the GOPdfiles on the back foot

My more depressing theory is that he’s comfortable making a face turn because he likely correctly thinks that he won: many of his views are now firmly in the mainstream so groypher excesses can be safely called out and reigned in.
