Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

Everyone will remember that the last deal came with a "promise" for a vote on something that the Senate Ds making the deal cared about (DC funding) which Johnson threw in the trash. Dunno why theyd expect a promise on a healthcare subsidies vote to be any different.

I’ve pinged around a bit today to plugged in sources in and off the Hill (both parties), and the initial read I’m getting (in some cases unexpectedly) is the movement is real

Yeah, despite the rumblings from other reporters this still feels like another bit of Axios wishcasting.

What's for certain is that any Democrat who votes to cave now and betray the base in exchange for nothing at all will live to regret it.

Personally I think it's good to have graphs that measure the economy, so we can know how many people are experiencing personal starvation, and whether that number is going up or down.

that doesn't mean they dont provide a useful product at the end (and some customers do seem to legitimately like it and find it useful) but yeah its going to be expensive and probably a lot of customers spend all that money to functionally put it on a shelf

palantir's *own marketing* and employee anecdotes are that it's high touch data integration, with forward deployed engineers going out and working with integration partners. thats like the definition of expensive and inefficient!

A large share of politics coded as “left” on this site is in fact reactionary nostalgia - an inchoate belief that times were better in the good old days and nebulous forces have taken that from us.

This is literally the consensus belief on this website. And because everyone knows it’s the consensus belief, big tastemaker accounts completely refuse to challenge it, because their game is to say things that they know the majority of their audience will agree with. So the falsehood spreads.

defining the economy is capitalist propaganda, as is measuring it with graphs. also, the economy is bad and used to be better and everyone knows it.
