Is there any issue that GOP/Trump would cave on though?

And if not, is it better to make some stand or just let the GOP continue to steamroll.

I just with they had been unified and said "OK. You win GOP. No subsidies. The democrats won't let people go hungry!"

And I mean, I hope the Democrats do not hesitate to ditch the filibuster themselves if it is standing in the way of legislation that would help America.

I realize good product management is usually saying "no" but for smaller features it would be amazing to have that level of automation.

It would blow customers' minds to see that responsiveness.

And it wouldn't have to *implement* the feature -- even to create a spec in Linear would be killer.

I think they spoke about real-time AI content updates on the web maybe.

I feel like AI + Github could "harden" SaaS products, just fixing everything and building specs for new features. You'd need serious gatekeepers but still.

My house next. We are renovating and have *most* furniture in the room that shall not be entered.

I love that chart! But the Braves finances are a bit weird because they own "The Battery" (hotels, restaurants, etc) and it *prints money*. Without it, I think their revenue drops and their % goes up a bunch.

In the case of Freddie it was probably Freddie's agent that gets the most blame -- I think he wanted to be a Brave and they wanted him. And the GM had a good backup plan with Matt Olson... but sure do miss Freddie.

Now, in hindsight, we should have opened the wallet for Dansby Swanson...

Yeah, I'm rooting for the Jays. As a Braves fan I'm still salty about the '92 world series but more salty about the Dodgers being the Dodgers.

Hopefully they close it out tomorrow.

Or one of the 3 MVPs they have in their lineup!

The 2026 and 2028 elections are going to be pivotal in this country. At a minimum they need to be free and fair.

Maybe "No Kings" flexes its muscles and demands the GOP doesn't ratf&ck democracy... or else.

It should be finite. Like corporate waterboarding that stops.

Show *them* what a motivated electorate is capable.

Then tell them what you are going to do *next* unless...

Give it a good name.

Get every media outlook to cover it (especially CNBC or whatever the financial programs are).

Make the world wait for the quarterly report and Wallstreet Estimates of that company...

Then organize a boycott (Amazon) or a cancellation campaign (T-Mobile).

It has to have teeth. One-day is not enough. A week or even a month. Use your organization to try and get the 3-7 million strong protesters to engage...

Amazon and T-Mobile come to mind.

Pick the one with the most powerful and has the most influential shareholders. Maybe it's Amazon/Bezos? I'm not sure. Shareholders who know everyone, are old money, summer in the Hamptons. Write big GOP checks to congress...

Made with partially recycled cotton and, for a limited time, 15% tariffs!! Yay!
