Dana Houle

It’s worth noting that Naomi Klein’s husband is almost certainly going to be the next leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party

Early June

He became transition leader in that moment, period.

Bernie & Trump have the same vetting process, which is: "Have you said nice things about me? Yes, then you have my full endorsement."

Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001 - Wikipedia

Or Barbara Lee, the only no vote on this, who was right that it would be abused; it’s still in force almost 25 years later.

That good, but the fact that she knew so little, yet felt so confident of her knowledge, that she would make such an outrageously wrong statement is imo inexcusable for someone who’s presenting herself as knowledgeable about politics.

The people we'd hoped to put in charge of Iran but accidentally killed instead were no angels.

June I think.

WTF is she talking about?

Why is she taken as a serious person?

[BTW, the majority of House Dems voted no, & many of the yes votes were Southerners who got swept out in 2010; Biden was a huge outlier as a yes vote who was still relevant in 2020]

Not the biggest issue tonight, but as I’ve said for a few weeks, I really want a reputable pollster to finally poll the Maine Dem senate primary. (No, UNH is not a reputable pollster)

"Oh, you're calling it Board of Peace?"

That’s what I’m wondering, the degree to which they are actually rational actors accurately assessing risk & reward.

My cousins also had Bell’s brown, which I like & I’ve never seen in Chicago.

Toledo is definitely the honorary Michigan part of Ohio; they’re more Tigers fans than Guardians fans.

Yeah, I’ve found it at the Jewel on Skokie Blvd; I have a few cans in my fridge right now. But I like it better from the fountain.

Q for the Israel knowers: Objectively what does Israel get out of this, & is that different from what Israel thinks it will get out of this? iow, is this a strategically sound move for Israel, or is it overreach that will make Israel weaker/more vulnerable?

As @pauljnadeau.bsky.social notes, this not something to be celebrated. Bad things can also be true.

Allow me to once again table my deeply unpopular opinion that the thing we need to spend a lot more time worrying about, as IR scholars & in popular discussion of world politics, is ugly, unilateralist, & authoritarian 🇺🇸 power/hegemony, not its imminent collapse or absence.

What makes Trump such a unique horror is that he’s the worst possible person to deal with any circumstance. He has no concept of interests outside his own insatiable appetites. He can’t deal with any problem lobbed his way. Creates countless new crises. And considers himself unconstrained by law.

That cap-wearing three-named NYU grad/humanities prof at Bates or Bowdoin, the one who said something about Trump not sending Americans to war in the Middle East?

Yeah, fuck that guy all the way to hell.

Maybe it will happen tomorrow

If the question was any more leading it could run for office itself 🤦‍♂️

I snagged a 6 of these before heading home. I can’t find it in Chicago.

I’m also going to stop for lemon rice soup, a coney, fries, a small Greek salad, & a Vernors before I get on the highway tomorrow.

Literally lol

“What is your opinion on the President’s decision to use White House staff to escort members of the press to safety after they were exposed to the odor of organic matter evacuated from his body”

Vs

“Was Trump right to tell reporters to leave the Oval Office after he shit himself?”

Paramount to be given control of Iranian state media.

We're doing this to bring affordability to Iran.

I have a feeling that after we get through the alphabet we’ll have to start over with Belmont, Clifton, Euclid, Fairmont…
