From budget hawks at the Peterson Foundation: GOP budget adds "trillions more in new deficits and debt. It allows for $4.5 trillion in revenue reductions, with only $1.2 trillion in offsets. All told, this plan would add more than $25 trillion to the debt over the next decade."

SARS-CoV-2 can significantly harm your vascular system through multiple mechanisms. These mechanisms up your risk of various cardiovascular complications, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, heart failure, and thromboembolic disease.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Yes, it's a hostile take-over. Yes, break the glass.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

NEW: OPM is sending a follow-up email to at least some employees from the [email protected] email address stating, "We have received a number of questions regarding the deferred resignation program. Below are our top FAQs." It then lists these four Q&As, also on the OPM site: www.opm.gov/fork/faq

Let's just make Democrat and Republican bathrooms and see which one women choose

The unfortunate corollary here, is that we maybe shouldn't have move away from smoked filled rooms... They had other faults, perhaps arguably greater ones. But they were very efficient at stifling out this sort of embarrassment

A particularly egregious form of accommodating, legitimizing, and normalizing power. Not particularly surprising. But a good reminder that, as a default assumption, this is what we should expect from established elites - it’s how the system tends to quickly fall in line. It’s dangerous.

Brief update on border crossings; not only is there no sign of a post-election spike in crossings as many of us expected, but all four Border Patrol Sectors which report weekly data have seen a drop since their last numbers, with Tucson dropping to the lowest weekly total since summer 2020.
