Yeah. In addition to just basic decency, as part of your job being an elected official you have to act in the interest of the country.
“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”

Yeah this is the incredibly frustrating part. I assume people in the media know this and are acknowledging that the President gets blamed for stuff anyways, but some more education would help.
One of the weird elephants in the room that no one wants to quite talk about head on is that the entire conceit of the neoliberal political economy is that elected leaders can't control the price level! So no wonder everyone is going run right into a brick wall.

This... actually makes sense
what if Trump actually didn't do anything illegal in the files but there's proof of the thing with Bill Clinton and that's why he's flipping out.

I never know what is going to matter but this feels like a major blunder
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Why should YOU have to pay the price for a crime that someone ELSE noticed?
Trump dismisses a question on the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as an attempt to "embarrass" the Saudi leader, adding "things happen." Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/3LKx3su

So would the new California map not go into effect then?
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I do have to say, props to prison abolitionists for shifting from "prison abolition requiring going back to lynching is a horrific lie by our enemies" to "lynchings and blood feuds are actually European peasant indigenous ways of knowing."
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

A gritty drama about someone trying to build turbines upwind from my acreage.
"Landman" is straight-up fossil fuel propaganda, being piped into millions of homes a week.
Is there anything similar for renewables? Is anyone even pondering such an idea? [tap tap] Is this thing on?

Hilarious but I've always been against the concept of impostor syndrome. The problem is that we have too many actual impostors running around in the world. People with impostor syndrome are accurately assessing their abilities! Don't encourage them to stop!
women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

TIL that parishes in Louisiana (read: counties) call their assembly/city council "police jury". Like there's the Jackson Parish Police Jury. That's an insane name for that.

I think a lot of the criticism of "prediction markets" is in the name. It is the participants who are making predictions, not the markets.
That said, it can be interesting to look at what the participants with real money on the line are saying.

Quiet and peaceful. Recruiters can take time off, college students can take a gap decade between their education and starting their careers as baristas when they're 30, just travel Europe.
Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

as someone who really thought there wasn’t much there for the longest time I cannot draw any conclusion other than “they are monumentally terrible” at this point
man, what the fuck is in these files that would a) be worse than anything we have ever learned about him, b) make him willing to risk a maga civil war over it, and c) have him desperately calling half of the republicans in the house and begging them to vote against their release
