Things can get better but they are not going to get better on their own. We have to accept that we are responsible for making things better, and that may include sacrifice. I am willing to accept that sacrifice, and while I am still figuring out what that means, I am willing to find the #GoodTrouble
Are those Rosary beads in his hands? As the cover photo for a profile about him being a “man of science”????

Media literacy is down, so to be clear, when the WSJ writes “Ultimately, the fact pattern Meta relies on to meet its conflicting objectives strains credibility” about your accounting practices and runs an accompanying flowchart, that is the equivalent of a 500-foot neon sign reading “FRAUD”
This feels like one of those stories you're going to look at a year from now and say to yourself, "Why didn't I move more of my portfolio into cash?" **

The war for American democracy is a class war (if it hasn’t always been).

Trump has made a choice over the course of the past few months to publicly reward Putin for illegally invading another country and stealing their land, rather than make him an international pariah. Those who say Ukraine needs to accept reality, think what precedent this sets

1. The top marginal rate when JFK entered office was 91%. That's not exactly a comparable situation to "today."
2. Kennedy's proposed capital gains tax cut (which still would have left it above today's levels) was balanced out by subjecting all inheritance to the capital gains tax rate.

JFK was all about cutting the marginal rate, and the capital gains tax rate. He'd be flamed by today's Dems.

“Everyone is twelve” continues as elite explanation for our current moment
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."

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
