Rivian products are often seen in Tucson.

Lincoln and Grant look rather mortified.

Actually 30 years ago GOP did eliminate all youthful participation they disagreed with when it kicked all of the moderates out of the party.

With the Today’s GOP cult, if you don’t agree with them you have a zero shot.

I don’t understand what the Democratic Senior leader leadership thinks.

Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.

But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.

GOP doesn’t do this.

Absolutely!!

When my friends ask me what they should do, I tell them to get involved on a primary level.

Yes, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Every step of the way, though, you’re learning how to play the game and become a good sport.

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Remember when the Democratic Party party turned on David Hogg for suggesting we should primary the types of senators who would do shit like fold in half at the worst possible time, resulting in millions of Americans getting fucked over a barrel?

Interestingly Johnson unintentionally made Grijalva national figure with his intransigence.

Yeah, it was tough to be an earth woman in the 1950’s. In addition to living in the blechy 1950’s all those strange science fiction robots were trying to capture you.

Never elect weird people to office. You never know what they will do.

Arizona deeply regrets nominating and electing the strange Sinema who turned her back on us all.

Hurrah.

Johnson made Grijalva a national figure by not swearing her in for so long. He may live to regret it.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Happy Veterans Day to the Grand Army of Oogaboo even though you never conquered the Nome Kingdom (or The Emerald City, your original destination) you gave it a good shot and in the end learned there is no place like home.

#VeteransDay

If corporations wanted to ease barriers to borrowing they would not lend more than a homes’ worth five to ten years ago plus a reasonable rate of inflation.

Here’s an example of OUTRAGEOUS housing inflation.

Good morning!

There’s also a zero percent chance the real number is 3 trillion

Vice President Kamala Harris participates in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in observance of Veterans Day in 2022.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who put service before self.

To every veteran and their families: Thank you for your courage and sacrifice. Our nation is stronger and safer because of you.

Malls are declining in popularity. Some of them cannot be saved, others are still incredibly popular and cool.

But the boomer generation which fed mall growth has aged and the malls are on huge amounts of land they can be used for other purposes .

In my entire life, I've never seen any President actively ask the Supreme Court to intervene so that they don't have to feed hungry people.

It's truly obscene, I don't care what party or religion you belong to.

It's foul and inexcusable.

‘A literal shoe box’: Why some Toronto renters are avoiding new builds | CBC News Some Torontonians are opting out of moving into new builds — for reasons ranging from a lack of rent control to poor layouts — at a time tenants are increasingly gaining leverage in the market.

I so wish that people would learn what 'literal' and 'literally' mean. Literally.

Cardassians star trek

Kardashians failed lawyer and Michael Jackson's father reincarnated as a mom.

When did standards change that this got replaced by this

It looks like a 19th century carnival wagon. Or maybe one that belonged to a snake oil salesman.

You just need horses .

There’s only about $200 - $300 billion in tariff revenue.

And he’s unquestionably lying about the amount received.

It’s probably closer to $200 - $300 billion.

He’s actually lying.

If the tariff money went into the general revenue fund, it shouldn’t be gone because the federal government general fund budget is huge.

If it went into a separate special revenue accounting fund and that fund is empty. We can easily trace where that money went.
