I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Wait, YOU VOTED FOR HIM? Thinking he'd make things better? As an immigrant? I guess all that education didn't take.

Anybody else getting "freedom fries" vibes?

Let's get to work.

How is it possible that Hasan manages to make Crenshaw sympathetic? Sometimes shouting somebody down is, I dunno...not the best approach. I wanted to hear Crenshaw's justification, and THEN refute it.

I believe the Retro Encabulator represents the zenith of American technical leadership, only surpassed at the margins by Rockwell Automation's later enhancement adding the half-gap binder to the jamwheel bypass. youtu.be/RXJKdh1KZ0w?...

This really isn't that complicated. Step 1: double prices Step 2: bring prices back to normal Step 3: claim success! Narrator: step 2 proved to be harder than step 1

It's almost like Trump is going out of his way to remind other democracies of what's at stake, and what's possible when you behave rationally. #LawOfUnintendedConsequences

I've been an active investor in the market for decades. This pattern seems pretty new: Market tanks on open Regains almost all losses Repeats the next day Over and over again. Seems maybe like somebody forcing a dip then buying on it?

1000% this

The find out part

Sounds like it's time for Aiyuk to demand a renegotiation of last year's contract based on his OUTSTANDING contributions. 🙄

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Amen, brother. UI, UX, interoperability...all just window dressing on fundamentals of data quality and integrity.

This doesn't seem complicated. Democrats should * Boycott the SOTU * Hold the response on the Capitol steps with every D member of the House and Senate * Have several speakers, including the obvious ones - and a governor or two

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

How oligarchy takes hold (a very brief thread). In 2018 Michael Lewis (the same guy who wrote Moneyball and The Big Short) wrote The Fifth Risk. As with his other books, this was a well-researched narrative. One illustration in the book regarded NOAA, and how it was lead under Trump I. (1/6)

This, 1000 times this. Pass laws that empower state government to manage the distribution of withholdings. Make a commitment to make whole any shortfall stemming from the federal government illegally withholding money earmarked for the state. This is the way.

Having a VW in 1932? Cool. Having a VW in 1942? Not cool.

I've told my sons if you want to make your woman happy, just tell her those three little words that mean everything: I. Was. Wrong.

Part of what's so interesting about Macrone's response is his *dismissal* of Trump's statement. It wasn't angry, it wasn't resentful. It was the batting away of an annoyance on the way to providing meaningful information. Tone matters. This tone? A very casual "whatever".

Uhm...isnt the GOP in charge of Texas? Like, for a generation? Who, exactly, has been committing all this W/F/A?

You know, as I read this steady drumbeat of stories about his absentee paternalism, one thought keeps coming to mind. There were 13 women that wanted to have sex with this guy? Ew...

This is the way. #FAFO

I'm sorry

Million, billion. Freaking speech police at it again!

"Warning shot"

Do us a favor and arrest a Member of Congress for telling people what their constitutional rights are. Go ahead and try it thug. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
