Arsenal once again on the front foot but since they can score one mistake changes the game. Arsenal had a thousand crosses and even shot from outside the box. No goals. WHU on one break needs one cross, Gunners go into the half needing two goals in the second

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

one really interesting thing about congestion pricing is that Trump basically said “I am killing congestion pricing right now”, got a friendly puff piece in the New York Post, and then every other media outlet went along with it even though it turned out he actually did not kill congestion pricing

When I was a kid, I distinctly remember a phone call from a telemarketer asking for "the man of the house." My mom's reply: "speaking." God damn legend.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

I used to report on the Koch brothers. There were all these layers of front groups and semi plausible deniability. Elon and Trump just go for it out in the open.

Congress can reassert its Article I prerogatives--such as its Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 prerogative to "To establish Post Offices and post Roads"--any time it pleases Again, the fatal flaw in the Founders' design is the assumption no branch would roll over for another bsky.app/profile/davi...

A quick review of Hassett's prediction record: – 1999: The Dow should soon hit "36,000." – 2004: "I don't think a [housing] catastrophe is very likely." – 2020: Covid deaths will peak in mid-April, then drop off. And no, he never raised any concerns about trillions in covid aid under Trump.

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

Remember, everything is part of the same story. They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

Media introduced “czar” as slang for special portfolio assignments over 100 years ago. In 2010, Fox targeted the press term “health czar” as Obamacare code for looming Bolshevik tyranny. Tea Partiers mobbed DC to protest Obama’s royal pretensions. “We don’t have kings!” read some protest signs.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

It's not "saving," and especially not "waste." Media is doing such a disservice by falling for that canard. Saving by eliminating waste means same (or better) benefits for less money. These are illegal payment stops with downsides. Like "saving" money by not getting your kids' necessary medication.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Elon is unpopular. Billionaire oligarchs are unpopular. Letting tech bros have all your gov't data is unpopular. Slashing cancer research is unpopular. Laying off veterans is unpopular. Cutting the FAA is unpopular. Dismantling nat' parks is unpopular. Seems like a good time to take a stand.

Again, there are literally not enough jobs to rapidly absorb all these displaced federal workers (who will also now be competing for non-government jobs with everyone else in the U.S.).

The point here is Trump does not recognize order, laws, defined terms, accountability. It never mattered to him. And for that reason the Constitution is just a bunch of words to him as well. “I have an Article II that says I can do whatever I want.” That’s why these suits are so important.
