For a couple years, I delivered pizza in an exurb not too far away from Whitestown. There were so many signs on peoples' doors vaguely threatening they'd shoot before you could see them

IIRC, the Green-associated candidate told her voters to rank Gideon > Collins. I wish they'd had tabulated it for discourse purposes

Not sure how to frame the "Insurrections unlikely in DC" tweet into an attack ad, but it'd be waste not to try

Thinking about how the longest time between extraordinary presidential transitions is from Washington assuming the presidency to WHH dying, which is the same amount of days between Nixon resigning and July ~13 2026

Would they allow distant voting, or would it be a NH House situation where majorities are decided by who can show up?

People would absolutely hate it, but at least it would make gerrymandering more difficult

Imagine doing the same thing to the Congressional Apportionment Amendment, making us constitutionally obligated to a 9000 member House of Representatives

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

It is how we measure sexuality though. Unless you're suggesting virgins should call themselves asexual

Bad analogy. Going on roller coasters doesn't preclude other hobbies, but most people are monogamous. If someone said they'd enjoy living in the country, but still enjoyed and remained in their house in the suburbs, would you think their view on country living as insincere?

15% is a majority of the ~23% of Gen Z that identify as LGBT

Not accusing of bad faith, but neither having threesomes nor long term monogamy imply anything about their potential bisexuality or past/present self ID; so this doesn't support your conclusion, that you think the majority of Gen Z self ID-ed bisexuals will later identify as straight.

If he dies after Dems take the House, Dems will have the power to deny Vance the right to pick his own VP

People believed that Trump not accomplishing all be campaigned on his first term was because of something inherent to him and not the fact that multiple members of the Republican party sacrificed their careers to stop him and they're not around to do it again

That ratio is a bit to favorable to Lynx though as most cities don't have a city right next to them that's about the same population

I have the same feeling as when SB 8 was allowed on the shadow docket. Dumb procedural thing to allow for something SCOTUS can't quite justify on the merits (yet at least)

Ranked choice voting is good and clearly better than first past the post, but doesn't create a landscape where more than 2 candidates can compete without strategic voting

Xkcd has done political comics before, but this is another step (and justified)

Alt caption: Wow I knew he was a musical guy but I didn’t know he liked Starkid’s “Twisted”

Trump will not be able to escape the political fallout of pressing the "break economy" button, so it's good if it's a little bit harder for Vance to escape it

This is why I think this way of crashing the economy is preferable to the mass deportation way of crashing the economy

The legal basis for the president having the power to do this is that it's an emergency. I don't know what hypothetical emergency would be responded to with 10% across the board tariffs

Thinking about how Jack Smith didn't try to get the documents case reassigned from Aileen Cannon

I don't like that he's the best shot Maine Dems have at knocking off Susan Collins next year. At least there are other options

Buzz Aldrin endorsed Trump because he thought he was pro space funding

Show this to someone from 2015 and ask them what they think is happening

The Tariff of Abominations was in 1828. Smoot-Hawley was in 1929. Every ~100 years, the American people need reminding that tariffs aren't a magic money machine

A stable governing coalition is hard to imagine, and it definitely isn't the incoming coalition

Tangible consequences of Barnes losing to Johnson

The rocks, notably, don't live forever either
