Welcome back summer 2019

Moving from a large city to a small village in the mountains means my chances of getting hit by a car have been reduced, but my chances of dying in some super weird hiking accident have increased dramatically.

You can all have this, but I’m not becoming election twitter for the Conclave

Fuck yesh. This is the fight the Democratic Party needs to have if it wants a future.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I had a lot of respect for Murkowski during Trump's first term, but I've never for the life of me understood her loyalty to the Republican Party. It can't be for electoral reasons, considering Democratic voters were single-handedly responsible for her last three re-election victories.

Trump literally ran for president in 2000

Knew it

Liz Bruenig is one of those people who I had completely erased from my memory and I wish that it could stay that way

Yup. It’s absurd to think lots of foreign firms are going to sink millions into building manufacturing plants in the U.S., which will take years, just to avoid tariffs that will be gone as soon as someone sane is in the White House.

"In his garbled description of the slightly artificial nature of the border and its creation, he was… not entirely wrong. Where he was wrong was in the implication that this process makes it either illegitimate or unusual today. It’s neither."

turning a big dial taht says "Tariffs" on it and constantly looking back at the stock market for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Republicans after seeing the swing against them in the Florida special elections:

I love the Schengen Area. Not declaring every single item and trying to guess their value when I'm making a shipment is one of my favourite things to do.

You shoot me down But I don't fall I am a Prince Rupert's drop

Well, officially out of work as of today. Leaving my job is a big weight off my shoulders, but also scary as hell. Got some positive energy going at the moment and I just hope it lasts.

Look, these messages could mean anything.

wow they're just like us

Can we stop doing this? Please?

I hate how I'm enough of a nerd in the politics of obscure European countries to know that they put a photo of the wrong Kallas.

“Elon Musk held up a bank at gunpoint yesterday, bringing back a controversial tactic for making money”

blue sky is supreme because every time you post you get 100 school principals in the replies asking to see you in their office

This morning's police raids targeted 106 suspects but the focus, of course, is on the man who is Turkey's most recognisable politician after Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Where now for Ekrem İmamoğlu, President Erdoğan and Turkey? A thread after a tumultuous 24 hours.

(seeing FBI agents sprinting in my direction as I'm being stabbed) Oh thank god I'm--(they run past me and tackle a guy who's flipping off a tesla)

Absolutely eye-popping number from the new YouGov/Economist poll (3/16-18): Trump is at 56% unfavorable among voters 65+, with only 44% viewing him favorably He was at 51% (unfavorable) and 47% (favorable) at this point in February (2/9-2/11). That is a big shift in a key demographic.
