fun fact, when elon musk asked robert rodriguez to introduce him to amber heard, he claimed it was because he was intrigued that they both read the same authors that everyone reads in tenth grade (orwell and ayn rand) www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-po...

i mean it when i say that i dunno how this will play to voters and i don’t trust anybody who does. it’s possible senate dems looked at trump’s disapproval here and thought “those people will credit us with ending it” and they could be right! but that still doesn’t solve the hostage-taking crisis
i don’t play pundit and try to guess how stuff will play to voters whose politics generally make no sense to me, but if ending the shutdown was about the important business of getting SNAP benefits and air travel back online, it also rewards hostage taking in a way that seems pretty ominous to me

if you had put this tweet in a montage of speculative headlines and posts in a harris 2024 ad, people would have been like “that’s as manipulative and fearmongering as goldwater’s daisy ad”
The @chicagotribune.com has updated its story to clarify that the baby was exposed to pepper spray, not tear gas

the “cause people immense suffering during a shutdown so they demand your opponents end it” strategy is much more viable if you aren’t actively suing for the ability to inflict that suffering

one of the hardest things about elections is reckoning with the fact that most of the people who voted are happy with the result, and watching the mamdani-freakout people completely fail to understand that is actually pretty funny

it's so weird to think that empowering masked men with no identification to run around terrorizing communities while completely insulated from consequences could have unintended negative side effects
