Westerner in the Midwest. Proud dad, YIMBY, Lions Fan, and Trekkie. Public transit, politics, and whatever my ADHD is obsessed with that day! (It's trains, always trains) 2028 starts now.
This series is cursed. Let's see if the tigers can find 9 runs in a single inning.

Giving all Riley's a bad name on a daily basis.
Riley Gaines spinning coming 5th in a college swim meet into a career as a political commentator says a lot about the dynamics of right-wing punditry.
Gaines: “You have to remember, it’s Joe Biden who allowed millions and millions and millions of Democrats into this country…”

Please tell me more about how Biden weaponized the DOJ, I'll wait.
Ogles on Trump's big bill: "Now, ICE is gonna have the personnel and resources to come into cities like Nashville and New York and quite frankly deport people ... if Zohran fudged on his immigration forms, we may very well be deporting him. Time will tell."

This only works for us if it sticks to restoring rule of law, Constitutional norms, and civil rights. If we start getting into other policy positions it's gonna rip apart the coalition before it even gets going.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but we can use him nonetheless.

"My side is winning and our coalition is growing, how can I be an absolutely caustic asshole about it?"
A certain type of guy is so allergic to coalition-building or taking a W that if anyone he deems uncool embraces his preferred candidate, it’s proof of something nefarious or insincere.

128 Democrats voted to have primary challengers next year.

Man, I never knew New York had so many cowards.
Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo

First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR.

Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

AOC is the real leader of this party, there is no question in my mind.
AOC: “grounds for impeachment”

Jeffries: “Trump needs to explain”

Won't somebody please think of the cars! Where will they park if we build things densely enough that people don't have to drive everywhere?!
Orem, UT mayor: "We've tried density, we have no more room"

Inertia is a hell of a thing.
Not much evidence for a mass exodus from dollar financial assets here if we're being honest.

I'm sorry what the fuck is going on?

Master and Commander!
What are some of your favorite Dad movies? Dad movies aren't only about or for Dads. They're enjoyed by everyone but give off Dad vibes. The kind of movie a middle-aged man will stand and watch. A few good ones have already been mentioned so I'll start a list

Field of Dreams
Ford v Ferrari

The parade is both sad and completely unamaerican, but also a part of me is totally ok with M4 Shermans (and only Shermans) parading down the streets. Instantly recognizable symbol of the fight against fascism.
THE TANKS! THE TANKS! SHREDDING OUR STREETS! COSTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!! THE TANKS ARE HERE

This is about running. Also this isn't about running.
Every march has a purpose.

We're not even cooking with gas at this point, we've taken the cap off a nuclear reactor
Ok now we’re cooking with gas

I love the new Hudson building, it fits the skyline well.

One of many reasons to love Detroit: Its beautifully chaotic city flag. I don't think there's a single city flag in this country that represents its city better than ours.

I firmly believe that within the next 10-15 years, Detroit will be one of the most desirable places to live in the country. I try to get downtown at least once a month, and it never disappoints!
Detroit is such a cool city!

Absolute smackdown by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals!
NEW: The Fourth Circuit REJECTS the Trump admin's appeal of Judge Xinis's orders to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release: "We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
