Huh. Interesting timing. Is there any reason Trump might want there to be a precedent for putting a name on a WH complex building's exterior? Feels like there was something in the news lately.

"Hey Siri, spell 'unfunded mandate'."

You're "solving" a problem that doesn't exist, and sticking the states -- including your own! -- with the tab.

And you know there are states that will do the absolute statutory minimum to comply, in favor of disenfranchising their least-favored citizens.

This isn't just for journalists. Even in 2023 when I had about 10% of the followers here than I did on Twitter, Give Smart was raising more money on Bluesky. In 2024 we stopped prioritizing trying to get Twitter clicks and had our best year ever. Twitter's cooked as a platform for raising money.
