By withholding it for months, Jeffries has made himself irrelevant while also looking weak and out of touch.

“Bill Ackman is a Jerk. He doesn’t even live in NYC…. This is called voting. Since when do we not let people vote? Billionaires determine the next mayor? If they don’t like it they can leave.”

One of best signs I’ve seen today. (pulled from reddit-likely Los Angeles)

Man holding sign showing John Goodman as Uncle Sam with the words: Shut the fuck up, Donny. You’re out of your element.

Seems like reporters should start covering them like any other political figure, no?

Maybe it’s obvious to everyone but me, but I think it still needs to be said over and over: the Republican Party is dead. There is no rehabilitation of this party.

/2 The Roberts Court 6-3 majority is best understood not as a genuine or legitimate independent adjudicatory body but as a ceremonial adjunct to the Trump government, like a First Lady or a second-born prince in a constitutional monarchy.

I’m grateful for having my brain fully developed before social media existed just like I imagine some of those who became adults before television were.

some might! some might have the stirrings of something that resembles a conscience. Or have someone in their inner circle who does: parents, partners, friends, future employers. or don’t enjoy the public attention that these actions warrant.

Desperation

I’d feel a lot better if there was word that Democrats had the equivalent of a “war room”, coordinating with national and state pols, brainstorming strategies, gaming out scenarios.

I don’t know the level of economic pressure these foreign workers are under, but I imagine it’s not insignificant.

tenniscourtoaf.bsky.social @tenniscourtoaf.bsky.social · 15d

The article seems to imply that this might be just a ruse to employ foreign workers at lower wages and virtually no worker’s rights.

It's not clear that there is an imminent workforce crisis in agriculture. While there were fears earlier this year that tighter immigration enforcement would lead to unharvested crops, the harvest went off relatively smoothly, as my colleague Bob Kuttner explained. Some commodity crops like grains are looking at a record harvest, in fact.
"What we see every day is that farm workers of all immigration statuses are continuing to go to work," said Antonio De Loera-Brust of the United Farm Workers. "To be blunt, this is not a workforce that can afford to stay home for days on end, let alone four years." Raids only disrupt the workforce for a couple days, De Loera-Brust said.
In this sense, immigration enforcement is working hand in hand with the H-2A program. Farm employers do not fear losing their immigrant workforce because they can import them, now at lower wages. from abroad.

To clarify: “eventually answer for” -> “give explanation to”

tenniscourtoaf.bsky.social @tenniscourtoaf.bsky.social · 18d

Will SCOTUS have to eventually answer for their shadow docket decisions on trump’s behalf? All of them? Some of them? Do you think “Kavanaugh Stops” be a term used during oral arguments?
