FDR would’ve 100% made this a Fireside Chat-Endorsed HalfTime Show, you love to see it

(…) blindspots/dead voids that were always meant to be addressed (i.e. “living breathing document”) or unforeseeable complexities arising from progress.

The fact that a arguably the vast majority of the interpretations that created these crises were never codified into amendments probably helps 2.

I feel like it’s mostly a predictable results of the “base” constitution serving as a very strong foundation & legal/societal sandbox (there’s a reason that the DoI & the constitution are always invoked during mass reform movements to this day!) and the political pitfalls being treated as (…)

It’s ✨”Tactical”✨

Epstein’s … moots?

Why is Bass like this? her only political instincts seems to be alienating everyone that’s not a specific type of NIMBY property/homeowner

ofc the Bay Area chapter of the CNL hitched their wagon to this lmfao

We can still use its “revival/return” as a nice vector for reforms (especially since public perceptions of the laws are... Inaccurate, to put it mildly & can act as a good buffer for reforms)

Most people who said sth along those lines during summer (at least the ones who said it to defuse conspiracy theories) backtracked or shut up immediately …

Dreyfuss seems like he’s either given in to his irony-poisoned contrarian media persona or shed some skin to fit in w. his new pals

Sounds like even ol’ boy got something out of regime change too (apparently he switched to COD in Moscow)

Torn between petitioning your landlord to add extra insulation on the roof or keeping this series alive

A lot of folk also seem to overlook the importance & political/electoral benefits of having a coherent narrative of what reforms look like and shifting the conversation (& the Overton window on the issue) to policy frameworks & nuances

Yup, Ryan was all over the place between 2019-2023 but I had mostly forgot about his national aspirations until now

Isn’t this the basis for Duverger’s arguments about US party structures being way more dynamic than they’re supposed to be (relative to other party systems with entrenched blocs) due to the primary system even if you choose to ignore all the historical precedent & recurrences?

Excerpt from a Wikipedia Chart showing Early Dropouts of the 2020 Democratic Primary, feat. Tim Ryan, Bill de Blasio, Kristen Gellibrand, Seth Moulton

Just checked & good grief, the 2020 Primary was such a cluttered free for all

Moulton wants to throw his hat in for the WH??? lmfao

James’ V-Day Fire Sale? (Overcharge for the infected ones)

I’d add that even the manufacturing industries that are “worth it” from either a NatSec or Industrial competitiveness standpoint need extensive long term institutional guidance & policy commitments after a certain median income level & minimum public standards thresholds have been passed…

The new world in general is so much less dense than the old world (barring a few large metros)

We have a lotta catching up to do

Wait, was there a new royal controversy or …?

Are we *absolutely* sure he wasn’t trying to type sth like J.E. Evacuation & ended up with this instead lmao

Sky!

Lime & Honey (especially if you can infuse them during brewing) are the closest thing to a universal cheat code for making tea taste “good”/better!

I used to keep some as rainy day backups (i.e. can’t/can’t bother to make enough coffee) or do some mixing experiments with green tea

Monster or stuff like Cold Yerba Mate are way better tho (especially the latter if you wanna mix sth with tea)

Weren’t our own efforts of facilitating passage & mass asylum hampered by mass public protests/backlash (due to rampant antisemitism)? IIRC it was also detrimental to US attempts at entering the war before Pearl Harbor

using amassed political momentum to pass mass reforms that can do lots of heavy lifting in terms of correcting public assumptions (& quite literally flipping the table & changing the argument) is usually better than wasting political capital on trying to appease opposition

Another bleak aspect of these scam network is knowing that there’s someone out there either scraping family/survivor photos en-masse or buying them from someone to use here
