NC kid turned suburban Boston dad. If you found me through my delightful political commentary, sorry about the hockey skeets. Go Canes. If you found me from my delightful hockey skeets, I hate fascism and say so a lot. Skeeting into the void since 2023.

This seems like a good time to bring up the @politico.com about how young Republicans have *remedied* racism.

If you're wondering why Congressional Republicans have been acting like they won't have to run for office ever again, just check out what SCOTUS is preparing to do to the Voting Rights Act.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Not to overreact, but it would be hilarious if Bussi somehow turns out to have been the answer this whole time.

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Hmmm, Susan Collins might not even campaign at all if she thinks Planter has learned his lesson.

She’s right. She’ll probably lose to Platner, and should, but letting him get through that primary is important

Meiselas: How do you see yourself in that race versus Graham Platner?

Mills: We’ve run people against Susan Collins before, and she won because we ran people who were untested… I’m the only one in the race who’s actually won an election

They do. Paul LePage was so awful they instituted it just to keep Paul LePage from ever happening again.

At a certain point, supporting the Times and the Post just so there will be a Times and a Post stopped working. And that certain point was when they stopped even pretending to be newspapers.

Making jokes on social media is awesome, because you'll get whiplash between hilarious replies from some of the cleverest people in the world, and also bewildered replies from people who have never before heard of the concept of humor

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
