New @centeronbudget.bsky.social analysis of the draft GOP tax plan released yesterday: Unsurprisingly, it provides enormous tax cuts for the wealthy—including an average annual $65k cut for the top 1%—while doing little for low- and moderate-income families in 2027 (and even less by 2029).

This administration is like a second pandemic. The biggest issue is all the avoidable deaths, but life is also marginally worse in a million little ways, and the foregone output (economic, academic, etc) will loom over us for decades to come

Awful, awful news. E Street is the premiere location in DC for independent and foreign cinema, even if many seats and bathroom stalls were busted. I have been going there regularly for over twenty years. This leaves a massive hole, and many local festivals will suffer. Fuck.

“When I think ‘progressive,’ I think of the ‘Squad,’” Mr. Morgan said, referring to the group of left-wing House members. “And when I think of ‘the Squad,’ I think of socialism, and when I think of socialism, I think of communism, and when I think of communism, I think of the downfall of countries.”

Consider the logic of the alleged quid pro quo with Eric Adams: You can [allegedly] accept bribes so a foreign country can build and open an unsafe building in your city, so long as you help combat individual migrants, many of them non-criminal.

The democrats biggest problem isn’t their policies or ideas, it’s messaging The key is reaching out to voters who don’t follow the news. Getting mad at the NYT doesn’t matter because NYT readers are reliable democrats Voters who don’t follow the news primarily voted for Trump

From the Gonzales poll this week - 3/4 of Marylanders (a state Trump lost 2-1) favor law enforcement working with ICE to deport "aliens who have committed crimes." This is why Dems are running for the hills

submitted 130 days ago • 38 comments

So the LR Act allows for deportation of an alien if they are charged with a minor crime? They don’t have to be convicted? That doesn’t sound good But I guess why dems will vote for it is that the average American will not see the nuance and their is a general anti-immigrant attitude

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!

I'm not saying thing to irony-post or anything like that, but we're probably at the point where anti-establishment, anti-institution views constitute majority opinions in the US, and people who operate inside of legacy media or who are public officials need to account for that.
