after that, almost all house of representative races everywhere in the country will become meaningless and predetermined. voting for a house member will become a futile act if you are the 'wrong party' in a particular district. what then, what is the logical conclusion?

why is it this same type of effing stick-up-his-a** white guy making these types of pronouncements? isn't there any other type of person they could parade up there?

@pbump.com, a post showing the data for jobs reporting revisions over the last 5-10-20 (whatever) years would be excellent, and I expect you are the person to do it. (maybe you already did something like this some time ago and I don't remember?)

in the case of the EU, the tariff rate will be ~10X what it was before trump 'started negotiating' (was about 1.5%, now will be 15%). this is a tax that US citizens will pay. so 'lowering of stated tariff' means 'incredible increase from baseline'.

you mean to tell me that in all these years, no one has asked her any questions or obtained any testimony from her on the topic of 'the clientele'? this will be the first time this has happened?

I call BS.

I recently had a friend feed an entire pint of strawberries to their 3yr old at the farmer's market while we stood and chatted for 15min.

this article is excellent. unfortunately we are doing the opposite of every one of the recommendations.

do you trust this administration to correctly report inflation? I don't. TIPS may not do what you would like it to do in the (maybe near) future.

about 8000/day needed to finish in 4 years. that's why S. Miller is so pissed about the present rate, it needs to be dramatically higher to meet target. 3000/day does not cut it, not even close. but funding was increased 20X in the bill that was just passed, so there's a chance they can do it.

ok, I guess the 4th amendment does not apply, something something within 100mi of a border, etc. bsky.app/profile/guyr...

Don’t worry, the supreme court is about to issue a ruling on the shadow docket that will prevent this rogue court/judge from issuing such a broad reaching decision. /s
