Kevin Hassett: hold my beer

"Quiet, piggy!"

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

🤦

Quiet, piggy.

So time to amend discharge petition = good; but time to amend CR, which rips healthcare away from tens of millions of Americans - bad. Good to know I guess.

The real problem is that so many of our fellow humans already cannot tell shit from shinola. So yeah, invent something that churns out robotic shit that looks ever more like shinola. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

AI will likely be the final nail in the coffin for this post-truth era of humanity. So many of my fellow citizens cannot tell shit from shinola as it is. I preferred things when facts actually mattered.

My greatest fear is that this grifty administration and legion of slobbering sycophants will decide to massively integrate crypto into the US Treasury. That would likely be the death knell of our republic. Can crypto bailouts be far behind?

Kernen and Hassett have half a brain between them... on a good day.

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

Follow the money.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

I've been hedged against this since Jan 3, when Elon threatened to primary any member of Congress that didn't vote to shut down the government. Trump and company hadn't even been sworn in. I have close to zero confidence in US markets.
