I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

Every election is the most important but there should be “wresting back state legislature” strategies being funded NOW aimed at 2030. Redrawing district lines simply to accurately reflect the electorate will gerrymander the GOP out of relevance, you don’t even need to be political about it.
That said, I am also skeptical about setting up another Senate race in Arizona for 2030, probably best to leave that be.

Argentinians not beating the allegations even one time.
In this context with a population wich barely surpasses 3000 people, I don't see major problems.
I side with self determination when it's essential to prevent crimes against certain populations or when it's necesary to figth against discrimination against certain groups of people.

"Surely a quick, violent, successful war of aggression is just what the ruler needs to shore up his legitimacy," said just about every failed monarch in history shortly before invading Serbia.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I love the “Well It Really Shouldn’t Be So Hard to Find A Mayor Who Doesn’t Suck Shit” stance of the incoming mayoral administration because demanding much more from our leaders is our only way out of the broader collective mess
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations.
