Very excited to learn that @pkrugman.bsky.social has joined @rooseveltinstitute.org e.org as a senior fellow! Welcome, sir! rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/doing-g...

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

In a BAD satirical novel, this would be a moment. Uncontrolled toddlers breaking things.

What are you talking about??

Can't slam "repost" on this hard enough

honestly replacing Polis with Bennett and Newsom with Harris would be some major upgrades

There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE act. Let me set he record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that I'm a fucking clown. Just a total moron.

I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!! “How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?” www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...

Why anyone thought Trump, who filed for bankruptcy six times, and thinks you need ID to buy groceries, was going to fix the economy is beyond me. #ProudBlue #TrumpRecession #TrumpTariffs #TrumpIsTheWorstPresidentInUSHistory #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #FreeAbregoGarcia

It turns out moving fast and breaking things results in a lot of broken things! Quickly! And not much else.

I admire Whitmer, but ma'am, this ain't it.

who did this

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.
