“The DOGE we could have had” gimme a fucking break, this guy…
We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good.
But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.

Trump on Pritzker: “I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.”

My “I’m not Enron” shirt is yadda yadda yadda…
It is wild to me that the largest company on the stock market, one with such incredible prestige and a huge PR team got dog-walked here. Why would you EVER give this ANY oxygen? Now everybody is asking whether NVIDIA is like Enron! This didn't help at all!
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

Sarah McBride talks to the Advocate, blames trans advocates for absolutism, and going directly to Trans 301 when people are just at Trans 101. Doesn't specify whose rights we should throw under the bus but presumably unpopular things like child sports, blockers, etc. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Democrat Sarah McBride on her approach to expanding trans acceptance in Congress — and America
“I recognize that it’s not viscerally comforting for some people in my own community who feel the indignities that I am facing vicariously,” Delaware U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride told The Advocate.

Just saw some right winger outrage bait that said Mamdani was planning to enforce the use of Arabic numerals in NYC schools and I think my brain broke as a result.

The actual electoral impact is pretty minimal as long as you’re not concerned with Black people having the ability to vote. The least bad is still very bad, and like the rest of the fascism around us we shouldn’t just accept it as the inevitable status quo.
voter id is probably gonna happen, it makes sense to tactically retreat on because the actual electoral impact of it is both pretty minimal and kind of a wash, and it's pretty popular. progressive groups should probably start thinking about what the least-bad version of it would look like.

this “big tent” talk from the Dems always comes up when it’s some right wing ghoul doing a broken-clock impersonation, never when it’s a Mamdani-esque progressive. Go figure.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

“What rape culture?”
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
