This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

I loved this piece from @abovethelaw.com on Kardashian failing the bar because it makes the two essential points:
A: it’s fucking hubris for her to try this without going to law school.
B: She doesn’t NEED to pass the stupid thing to do her good works

The thing is that if you get your data from DoorDash, it might be more convenient but the costs add up in the long run, because it’s really better and cheaper to just go directly to the data place and pick it up yourself.
They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

I almost never comment on mod decisions bc quick-turn analysis is not my ministry. But bc I posted about Sarah Kendzior's suspension—last night by asking how to learn if it was in error, today by saying I find it baffling—people are ascribing positions to me that I haven't taken. To clarify:

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.

KFF's estimate that out-of-pocket ACA premiums will increase if enhanced tax credits expire by an average of 114% has been widely reported. But, it varies a lot, especially by income. Here's what increases look like in dollar terms -- from $378 at $18,000 to $1,836 at $45,000.

Keep in mind, Trump's pardons meant that a great many Jan6 criminals didn't pay off their debt for ransacking the Capitol.
So these Senators are adding to the cost of Trump's attack on the Capitol even while taxpayers ALSO have to pay for his attack.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

A 50 year mortgage for a _residential_ property is very much like renting except you also get all the downsides of ownership including maintenance and possible losses.
If you hold the home the average amount of time you will accumulate very little equity but you may get wiped out.
