How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Virginia's legislative session only started yesterday, and it was a very big day.

The House already passed four constitutional amendments on Day 1:
β€”protect abortion rights
β€”repeal the same-sex marriage ban
β€”allow mid-decade redistricting
β€”greatly expand voting rights restoration.

Next: Senate.

Q for anyone w/US state financial knowledge: when current fed admin says 'we are withholding funds from <insert blue US state> for <insert dumb reason>,' the ref'd funds are at least partially from taxes paid by said states. Could an affected blue state withhold paying some portion of fed taxes?

"The humanities really are a resource β€” a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Might you have missed some of the depth of Tuesday's results, beyond the big headline races?

I'd been watching roughly 200 races heading into Election Day, so here's a thread of some of what you don't want to skip over!

Ronald Reagan narrates a new anti-tariff ad from Canada The new commercial is part of a $75 million ad campaign by Ontario aimed at Republican voters.

Holy shit.

Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs.

The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds.

What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.
