"We don't want to feed people because it helps us pressure the Democrats to cave" is a hell of an admission.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it?
JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it

Paulina Borsook needs our help. She has recently thanked people of The Well for chipping in. And now it’s time to amplify the ask. This thread about her is excellent. She was an early critic of the cyber libertarian ethos we see playing out today… her book should come back into print too

This has to be the music industry’s wet dream. They have spent decades pushing creators to produce derivative crap, and now they can cut out the middleman.

After Big Ugly Bill passed, @governor.ca.org and legislature should be putting their SB-627 No Secret Police bill (requiring law enforcement to wear identifying info and banning masks) on overdrive and passed ASAP. If you think things are bad now, wait until ICE’s budget goes from $8B to $75B.

If the last few days prove anything it’s this: if you say you’re “socially liberal and fiscally conservative” and don’t vote Democratic across the ticket, you’re either a liar or a chump.

Fell behind on Andor, so am catching up. Watched Episode 9 this evening.
You know. The wild one where they arrest a Senator after manufacturing a fake crisis that required the military to put down protestors.
So unrealistic.

I am being so very entertained by all the Trump fans who are just finding out that both Star Wars and Bruuuuce are “woke.” My dudes, if it took Andor and Bruce’s speech to realize whose side you’re on then you really need your “are we the baddies” moment.

Put aside the stunning corruption of a $400m personal gift from a foreign govt - am old enough to remember we demolished the Moscow US Embassy because it was crawling with bugs and impossible to secure. They’re going to take a 747 from a foreign government to be used as Air Force One? WTF?

This is Abu Ghraib II. The stain on America will be of that magnitude.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
