Politics is not entertainment, it’s the work of a diverse society negotiating how best to thrive together. The fact that entertainment is a consideration is a root cause of our current situation…

This is quite brilliant

Nepo and all that, but also sponsors spend a *lot* of money on these events. They use these exemptions to draw eyeballs to their tournaments, and they often go to golfers with name recognition at the expense of those without. It’s a mercenary practice but the players are fully aware of how it works…

When accountability eventually comes for these people, they could be convicted based on all of their own posts and interviews alone, never mind what comes from investigations and discovery, and the perjury they’re going to spew trying to disavow all of it…

How does someone become like this? She’s not dumb, though she says many dumb things. She knows better. Presumably there was a time when at least part of her would be horrified at what she’s saying. What life journey full of choices lands here? And it’s not just her - there’s so many of them!

Zero Pinocchio’s here except she left off the part that goes, β€œSo the rest of you can just piss off…”

It remains to be seen what information in the leaked emails is factual (probably a lot IMO), but one thing is certain: there is absolutely no way in hell Trump and his water boy Johnson can prevent the files from being released now

Not the main thing, I know, but why would Thursday Nov. 13 be β€œthe busiest day of Starbuck’s year”?

A former neighbor was an upper manager in the Customs Service when they got folded into DHS after 9/11. New uniforms, stationary, vehicle decals, policy manuals and related training, etc. Millions and millions just in his regional offices.

Nothing says β€œeffective leadership” like getting rid of standards and practices, right? I’m sure other company leaders can’t wait to manage THAT chaos. I don’t get the fascination with willfully putting incompetent people in charge of important things

So we go back to when everything was a β€œpre-existing condition” and then *individually* negotiate insurance coverage with *multiple* providers (as entrepreneurs do), based on our particular cocktail of conditions. And our leverage? β€œFine, Iβ€˜ll take my $2k elsewhere!” Yeah, that’ll work…

This makes Durbin’s testy β€œYou have to understand how the Senate works!” response seem less random and delusional. Those 8 were gonna come from somewhere in the Caucus and maybe it’s better in the long term if they came from β€œsafe” seats? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ So much worse for Schumer though - dude’s got to go…

@durbin.senate.gov As a constituent I implore you not to vote for a temporary funding package. A promise to hold a vote on the ACA is completely meaningless coming from a party that does nothing but act in bad faith. Voting for this package will eliminate any leverage Dems have and will not save ACA

As is often the case, the correct answer is, β€œNo. Make me.”

Airlines know they won’t be held accountable for this. In the meantime, scarcity of flights will bump prices. When the shutdown eventually ends, and capacity returns, do you think prices will fall back? More flights at higher prices = more profit. A very messed up incentive structure for them…

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
