Also are they hot

Pretty sure this would be popular too. A lot of people who at this point tune out the standard stuff about health care, taxes, etc, will perk up at "the headlights are too damn bright!"

If you were going to report the news based on principles that would treat that as a massive scandal, then all your news reporting would be 100% Trump related scandals for the last decade.

If you haven't been doing that and you switch now, you're implicitly slamming your past self.

In what country are the places circled on that map located though?

I don't think that we will end up having tribunals, but it's still important to push the idea, so that the moderate Dem position in 2028 is "abolish ICE, fundamentally curtail CBP, don't protect from state prosecutions, etc" rather than "more funding in exchange for future promise of reform"

Only if I get invited to the cool ones.

One thing I'd add that you could argue is that the scooter is human-powered *and* motor-powered (whereas the case says either/or). Unlike the motor vehicles from the cases, it can plausibly be powered 100% by human effort. What if she turns it off and pushes it?

(I'd still say it's motor powered)

The answer of course is that Hazony doesn't care about *the Jews*, or even about *nations*, he cares about *Israeli Jews*.

He personally is Israeli, so - understandable!

But he's constructed this entire worldview to defend Israeli Jewish interests, he isn't doing it for the Jews writ large.

Somehow I think if some Palestinians attacked Israel, that would be "breaking" the ceasefire, but Israel attacks Palestinians and it's "testing" the ceasefire.

IIRC problem with Whitmer wasn't just going there, it was standing there while Trump signed a bunch of EOs targeting political opponents.

Maybe it wasn't her fault that it happened that way, but if you're going to go there, IMO you have to make sure you don't become a prop like that.

He thinks that the press should be subordinate ... so Saudi Arabia.

I don't get the politics of this. I would support a law saying that anyone caught text while driving gets their license suspended ... as a person who drives ... for the obvious reasons.

My problem isn't people saying "Genocide Joe", it's when many of the same people are silent about Trump, and when prompted minimize things he does, that if Biden or Obama did them would be proof that they're bloodthirsty warmongers.

I'm sure it will be 20 minutes of "Madanu, why do you hate Jews"

But also I'm sure Mamdani has prepared for that.

The media is saving the "it's a crisis" takes for when a Dem president takes over and starts arresting the people responsible.

Dems lost the white vote by 15 points in 2024, and the popular vote by 1.5. If they win the white vote by 4, that's a 19 point swing, if the same held for nonwhite voters, would mean winning the popular vote 17.5

The number of districts with a PVI of R+17 or lower is ... 384.

Not saying they'd all be urbanists if apartments were a little bigger, but it might change the numbers a little. If YIMBYism rules the day, it won't just be more apartments but bigger ones that appeal to more people.
