Seattle livin', Minnesotan at heart

I like sports, reading, politics, cats, and being outside.
Trump's call to investigate others seems like he will risk annoying important people who will also name him. But, that's his choice. 🤷‍♂️ #epsteinfiles

This epsiode of The Daily provides good insight into what Dems got out of the shutdown. Although they did not get any political headline wins, they did maintain two potentially important strategy cards.

Reading/watching more about the #EdmundFitzgerald upon the 50th anniversary of its sinking. It seems the Fitz was an unfortunate victim to greed and recklessness. It was one of the few ships that ran late into the season when the weather got bad.

Donald Trump wants the Washington football team to name their stadium after him.

I thought Washington dropped racist names from their team?

Marketplace offers great reporting on what happens if Trump's reciprocal #tariffs are struck down by the Supreme Court.

It is not the end of tariffs from the President, by any means, but it will force the president to classify tariffs in a more specific way.

If SCOTUS strikes down President Trump's current tariffs, he has plenty of other options
There’s a whole list of alternative tariffs the administration could deploy— but they might require investigations, include time limits on them, or need Congressional authorization.

#DickCheney lied to the American public about Saddam Hussein's relationship with Al-Qaeda in order to justify the invasion of Iraq. He was also a proud supporter of torture.

He deserves no kind words today.

If all of these start ups can be "optimized," is its lifestyle really a competitive advantage? #startup

Why these companies insist on a 72-hour workweek
Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.
