Maybe I did take acid in high school, and this is all some weird fever dream flashback like the PSAs warned me would happen.

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

I feel like there is a pretty wide-open lane in US politics for a 'make rich assholes obey the law' policy push.

"A death-haunted Trump is fed a steady stream of AI-generated news and polls while he focuses 100% of his efforts on building a ballroom that would dwarf the rest of the White House while navigating a series of accellerating and hidden health crises" is my take on the current situation.

Hard to see this and not think that, by the time Trump is out of office, we're going to have a whole lot more inflation.
According to Bloomberg, “National Economic Council Director Hassett has emerged as the frontrunner for the next Fed chair.”

what's "funny" is when I see this stuff covered by the press, the idea that regulatory capture and corruption is directly responsible for poor security standards/hacks, isn't even a concept that shows up anywhere on the page

Just saw a poll asking people if there was inflation at grocery stores... apparently there is no way to just report reality, and actual truth is just feels based.

a hugely important legal precedent has been set today

According to political media rules (starting January 2025) if a candidate wins they are allowed to do anything they want as long as it was vaguely in front of voters.
Anyways, bad news for Todd Gilbert and possibly any Republican in Virginia.

I get a chuckle out of "Ds need to be tougher on crime" as places run by liberals are doing objectively well according to crime stats. What Matt means here is Ds need to make a show of kicking criminals, not that they need to reduce crime.
What Democrats need to do is neither embrace the ideas of the Bernie / AOC / Mamdani faction nor obsessively freeze Bernie / AOC / Mamdani out.
What they have to do is be tougher on crime and illegal immigration and prioritize broad-based prosperity over emissions reductions and identity politics.

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Because it's not about the tax, it's about what the tax signals. It signals an administration unwilling to be bought out, and a loss of special access for monied interests.

I guess, if we needed to put a timestamp on the official time of death of the US, this would do.
You need to see this…
Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

That feeling in the pit of your stomach is there for a good reason.
My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.
This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

I feel like the President hallucinating that a major US city is burning down under sustained attacks from an enemy that does not exist should be a bigger story. That is, it should be the only story, a break into other programs and report non-stop, story.
