A big part of MAGA is admitting that Rage Against the Machine was right about everything, like how Elon called his super PAC The United States of America, Inc.

why would you show this to me

Isaac Chotiner: "I’m not making any allegation. I’m making a simple point about how an average reader—myself included—might respond after reading this ridiculous piece" Ben Smith: "Also — and I'll stop now! — the question he's trying to get at of how you cover monarchies with endless time horizons as a journalist (this is a thing people from most major publications do) is genuinely interesting." Chotiner, with the kill shot: "Come on Ben. I refuse to pretend that both of us are dumber than we are."

If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

A Theory of Dumb What if the cause of Americans’ collective cognitive decline is, simply, each other?

I just had to block like 100 people, I think this article is onto something nymag.com/intelligence...

I don‘t think the public will become less transphobic but i do think culture war shit against such a small group is essentially a luxury good and with a bad economy they’ll stop giving a shit.

To be clear I don't think Democrats should make this a front and center issue (I don't think even advocates want that), just that they shouldn't back down

I mean, don't cave on it. Not campaign on it or whatever. Thought the context made that clear enough but I guess not.

There are gonna be a few things we do different in Woke 2 but that's not one of them. Watch this space for more.

Hot button social issues just don't have that long of a shelf life.

Bluesky-ass take, I know, I know

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

Trump wanted to extend Obamacare health care subsidies. Some congressional Republicans are upset. It looks like the president may have to go back and tinker with his plan.

I don't know if I've even seen a bankshot strategy in politics work as well as the "healthcare shutdown" the Dems came up with / accidentally backed into as the only way to unify their conference

somehow we've now got Republicans debating healthcare bills it's crazy www.ms.now/news/trump-a...

One thing I’d like to see with building codes is some of the onerous mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rules brought in line with national standards, and the main barrier to that is the construction trades (since inefficiencies create work). So it is interesting to see none of them on the list.

We regret to announce the following layoffs, in alphabetical order. Halligan, Lindsey. That is all.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

The number one rule of business: tie up all your money in inventory 💡

The year is 2037. The Polish right are using the stereotype of the "migrant British plumber" as a rhetorical device to split a rival coalition.

Like the Afghanistan pullout it also came at the same time people started getting mad about the economy and was the moment people who weakly supported him were like well I didn't vote for this.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)

Sham investigations serve the dual purposes of 1) targeting enemies and 2) discrediting the concept of meritorious prosecution when it's time to hold your administration accountable.

one thing thats crazy about the current era in the states is that it is clear across most domains that science got processed by a lot of people as "traumatic encounter with the real" and now they are just making decisions based on that trauma.

elon, peter, anti-vaxxers, all the same problem

love having a guy on staff because he "was available"

Don't do any of this. Lizzie is just trying to keep you from that delicious turkey meat. Make sure you film it to prove her wrong.

When I spoke to AM Novakhov at the Saada family funeral in March he did not support the Stop Super Speeders bill or speed cameras in general. Now, he has signed onto the bill, though it is watered down from its initial strength.

Trone's gearing up to run for office again btw
