Going to war without congressional approval is impreachable

dumb

NY property tax has a lot of problems but so does calling it "regressive".

the first 3 things on your list are less important than the 4th

what did the robot tell them to do

was it staring at its phone?

I've been highly skeptical of this from long ago as I know several people that have destroyed their lives through early weed addictions. It shouldn't be illegal, but the number of people I had telling me in like 2004 "no, it's actually good for you" was crazy.

I don't have a ton of interest in saving local TV news they're on their own

yes collectively small publishers are leaving millions of dollars on the table by not monetizing this demand. It could save the business!

finding a work around to scam them out of money to keep them in business isn't exactly a win

Seriously though local newspapers need to be able to sell their articles "a la carte" and I've been saying this forever but nobody has yet set up a way to make this easy and seamless

overly creative interpretation of statute is just a symptom of a weak legislature and a strong presidency. We should want to fix that.

Elevator reform in Washington killed by the elevator lobby

Surprising no one, Joshua Bell is in the Epstein files (in this unexplained video without sound, I'm sure he was playing quite well) jmail.world/jefftube/wat...

yeah anybody not willing to affirmatively endorse it is not in the running for me

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

were they polled on whether they supported SB79 or not?

I have seen a couple "now that the tariffs have been canceled get ready for a rolling fiscal crisis" takes from people that should know better.
