After careful consideration I have determined MTG is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run. She's strategically distancing herself from the fracturing MAGA project and establishing a veneer of respectability. It's gonna work too.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Yeah the players probably make more than you could ever hope to, but the owners are literally 1000x beyond that. Wish we could get our heads around what “billionaire” means

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Going after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence is core to the fascist project, though.
All must be inverted. Good must be torn down. Resentment must be stoked. Otherwise “everyone is this way, look what you made me do” fails.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

New Mexico has I believe the last state legislator that's unpaid (they get per diems but not a salary); adding in term limits seems like a disaster for sustainable expertise within the legislature and a massive handout to lobbyists, as well as a power shift to the state's already-strong governor.
In his bid for governor, Sam Bregman is pushing for legislative reform including two-term limits for state legislators, salary changes and greater capital-outlay transparency.
Sam Bregman’s NM gubernatorial campaign calls for term limits for state legislators
New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Sam Bregman announced plans to limit legislative terms, increase session length, pay lawmakers and open the capital-outlay process to public review.

"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Yes, what the American people want is health advice from Donald Trump.
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

Can’t do any aspect of the job, including the hokey ceremonial bits, even just to reassure the nation. Doesn’t have it in him.
Why can’t Trump act like a normal human being for just one press conference? Now pardoning turkeys which is a joke has to be some weird politically charged thing too

this is obviously intended to chill dissent but i think it's going to backfire on them. what the lawmakers said was just directly true. and trying to get them for it is just going to raise their profile and the salience of what they said!
MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

I get that there is this obscure provision in the law allowing retired officers to be recalled to active duty and that the incompatibility clause could disqualify a federal legislator, but let’s be real: this would not be a small technocratic thing, but a declaration of civil war.

I need to rewatch Solo. Problem is I last tried immediately after watching Andor S1 the second time and it was such a wild tonal switch that I couldn’t finish and haven’t returned to it. Just seen it the once.
Folks are dunking on this view, and I, too, disagree with Jamelle Bouie here (Rogue One is good, actually, and I said so in my review at the time), but I can’t say much because I have an arguably even hotter take:
You know what else is good?
Solo.
You know what else is good?
Solo.
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

I guess as Film, sure. However it’s fun to watch in a chaotic “Mission Impossible” kind of way, which is more than can be said, let’s be honest, a good chunk of the rest of the films in the franchise, which I love.
rogue one is clumsily structured and the reshoot/post-production seams are way too obvious, but it's got a great third act and, in any case, gave us Andor.
