Wild story: a quality manager who warned about the shoddy construction of Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes was particularly concerned about the ones sent to Air India in 2014. That's when the Air India jet that crashed today was sent. prospect.org/economy/2025...

Netanyahu states that Israel struck the Natanz Uranium Enrichment Plant, but doesn't mention the Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant. If they don't destroy Fordow, this entire effort is basically for nothing.

The wild thing about Zohran is that he got his start managing campaigns of far worse candidates than himself. He saw Ross Barkan run for State Senate and must've like damn I could do better than that.

“Consumer electricity prices rose 0.9% in May, and are up 4.5% in the past year. And it’s quite likely price increases will accelerate through the summer,” warns @zeitlin.bsky.social. Electricity could shock Trump's good inflation story ⬇️

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Note on the literally part here — if you’ve got young kids, disabled friends, anybody in your life who can’t turn out to march, taking a soccer mom role is a good way to help out. Everybody loves the moms who turn up in their Buick Enclaves filled with Costco pallets of Capri Sun/water and sunscreen

the victory that yimby ideology has achieved with leftists and liberals** is a real tribute to the idea that sometimes you just win by having better ideas and convincing people because your ideas are better **outside California at least

We need *mass* mobilization in the U.S. right now, and I think that people who are somehow still focused on sneering at Perfidious Wine Mom Liberals are profoundly unserious

BTW, our local coop's shelves are empty because their supplier was hit with a ransomware attack, which is very hard to get away with without crypto. Crypto is literally causing food shortages.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

I think it’s a good time to recognize that Dems are doing things. There will certainly be days in the future to return to complaining about Dems not doing enough I imagine. But today. They are doing things.

Kristi Noem calling Padilla's interruption a bit of political theater is obviously a bit rich but she's not wrong: It was meant to show that the administration was fascistic, unserious, and contemptuous of local leaders. Guess what happened!

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane
