I’m really basking in this bc during the primary, I got a lot of heat from centrist YIMBY types calling me overly credulous/deluded for saying Zohran would be a good mayor and would support building more housing

Making me think about how in 1930, GOP held control of the house after Election Day but then lost it because of vacancies
PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

I've said many times, I am much happier than the richest man in the history of humanity. Cooler, too. And I am not and never have been remotely cool.

It’s like the people behind the Fyre Festival decided to throw a little war
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

She has it exactly backwards. The domestic deployments to date are a much weaker case for being so manifestly illegal as to justify refusal; that's a high bar. The boat strikes are outright unambiguous murder, everyone in that chain down to the one pulling the trigger has had a clear duty to refuse.
Sen. Slotkin said today—to my surprise—that she's unaware of any illegal orders *so far*.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

"The the president leaned over to me and said 'Hey JD, pull my finger!' I didn't get that one either at first, but then, ha ha ha, oh we have fun."
Vance: "We had a meeting with Jeffries and Schumer in the Oval Office. The president whispers to one of his personal assistants and she comes back with two Trump 2028 hats. Then he has the photographer come in and he points at Jeffries as he's holding the Trump 2028 hat! It was a hysterical moment."

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

Crystalline silicon solar doesn't use cadmium. None. Zero. This myth arose from confusion over different solar techs 15 yrs ago but won't die.
Electric connex in panels may use some lead-tin solder, but one should worry more about lead/solder/brass fittings in home/local water pipes. And paint.
