Just to have it all in one place: trump has at this point promised to use the tariff money to give everyone $2000 checks, do a massive farmer bailout, pay down the national debt, and eliminate income tax

"The president wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller" is extremely dark if you think about it. Like how many planes do you think he could crash in five minutes. I'm thinking at least three, definitely more if they just let him cook and didn't tackle him out of the chair
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This is no shade to Karen, but a lot depends on how primaries are held in your state. If you're a progressive in a closed primary state like NY, congrats registering as an independent blocked you from voting from Mamdani in the primary. If you're in an open primary state, you do you.
And this is why I’m registered as an independent.

don't even know what to say because my thinking six weeks ago was "the ACA subsidies are a bad negotiating move because it's too easy for republicans to agree to that, it's not asking enough" & now here they are ready to destroy the country to prevent people from being able to afford their premiums

He's certainly caving as a "team player" i.e. he's voting yes for a member who wishes to vote yes but is voting no because of us.
Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
