Made it to the "point of no return" in Final Fantasy Tactics. Guess I could do some of the sidequests before I lock in for the final battles.

The biggest problem with "Strong Floor, No Ceiling," besides being structurally unsound, is the enemy it identifies.
It’s whoever is trying to put “a ceiling” on the top-earning Americans.
That should be the Democratic Party. It's a slogan that runs against its own party base!

It’s time to start the 2028 primary and step over this donor-coddling "Strong Floor, No Ceiling" nonsense.
For @gilduran.com and @george-lakoff.com's @theframelab.bsky.social, I wrote about why DC Dems won't appeal beyond the donor base.
There's another way to put an expiration point on Trumpism.

it takes this author until the 22nd paragraph to even mention the idea that there's any problems with media consolidation, and even then labor and consumer impact isn't mentioned (because these consolidated billionaire owned media companies don't care).

Doesn't take a genius to beat Trump when he's not on the ballot, and his policies annoy most of the country.
But with Jeffries's comments on Cuellar, the border, & his "No Ceiling" slogan, only a donor could love, he could lead Democrats into a UK Labour nosedive.
He's talking to the wrong people.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

A reminder that in both 2020 & 2022, when he was facing a tough primary from Jessica Cisneros, Democratic leadership propped up this corrupt clown’s campaign. He won by a few points in 2020 and by just a few hundred votes in 2022.

Very simple rule of thumb here… if Trump thinks you are rich, crooked and he can make you owe him a favor, you’re gonna get your pardon.

no story about elon musk or his companies is complete without reference to both his overt white nationalist agitation, or his willingness to put that rhetoric into action by gleefully consigning countless thousands of people of color to death while running DOGE
it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi
media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

The refusal to consider DC Statehood is largely a reluctance to give DC two Senators, which itself is a tacit admission that the United States Senate is an anti-democratic institution.
Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

I don't know if it makes much of a difference, but I wonder if fans have a strong preference towards whether Flash Thompson is Agent Venom or Agent Anti-Venom. The latter is a good compromise to keep him with a symbiote while Eddie or Mary Jane are Venom, but I know people like Flash as Venom, too.
