Can anyone help me understand why #Kids&CaretakersOutOfCamps isn't one of the conditions for DHS funding? Why confine only to DHS/ICE conduct on streets and not inside concentration camps?

I'm really just wondering aloud why Republicans decided to care about this of all things

But wasn't the flinch because of the ad campaign/ saying he approved it rather than anything else? ... I suppose the argument is that the importance of that to him was still due to pressure

Whoa

"WH apparently did not realize that starting a war with Iran *with strikes aiming to remove the regime from power* would trigger Iranian action against Hormuz and regional energy infrastructure.
They directly threatened this regime's survival.
What did they think would happen?" -- Gregory Brew

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

I’m no medical doctor* but does this look like a man with a healthy gut? I don’t think so….

* I do however have a PhD and “restorative” diets were certainly part of my research on the first restaurants

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

“Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. ‘I guess,’ he says.”

It's interesting that NYT comms is openly having this public debate with a left-wing commentator!

Man, why the fuck are we bombing Iran.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Raskin should be the House Democratic Leader

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Indeed. At least slotkin has a fumctioning brain.

This will go down in history with My Lai, Kent State, and Czechoslovakia 1968.

Killing little girls at a school in our name. What a dirty and war criminal government we have. They must face consequences. We must work to make them face consequences.

Every time i see slotkin i think "that could've been andy levin." Still, gotta focus on the future

And the politico framing on this is trash obviously bsky.app/profile/jona...

Electorally Michigan can support significantly better senators

So just like the US?

And if you think about it, it would be a kind of a weird fairy-tale planet-divided-into-nations if that conjunction of things just *happened* to be true for the whole existing set of national economies... that's why he's making a stronger claim

😭😭😭 I mean this *can* be true - and certainly the country/economic unit in question would be in a much better position if this were *also* true for their "comparative advantage" - but ricardo actually makes this distinction very explicit! I am away from my copy or I'd share the pages

Apropos of nothing, "comparative advantage" means the thing *you're* best at -- not the thing you're *better at than others*. This isn't pedantry; it's essential to the entire argument, from Ricardo to today

In Ecuador, US military carries out 1st land operation against cartels: SOUTHCOM The United States and Ecuador conducted joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador,” U.S. Southern Command announced Tuesday.

I am logging the fuck off now wtf abcnews.com/Internationa...

Hadn't thought to ask before but my parents voted Talarico

MAGAs losing in texas it looks like

I'm not endorsing this affirmatively by the way -I think there are all kinds of reasons it's not applicable as a general principle- but if you do think so then probably good to get it right

Ricardo literally says it's still overall efficient to specialize in winemaking if you're better at that than clothmaking even if your trading partner is better at winemaking too. That's what makes it "comparative" and not "absolute" advantage

That’s just maddening. @matthewtbodie.bsky.social and I wrote a book critiquing the law-and-econ arguments for the core features of shareholder primacy, and did so taking the standard precepts of economics and social choice theory as given.
