I hate to give the slightest smidgen of credit to Lizza here, but he does note one thing that's right: it matters not just as a sordid and revolting melodrama. This is one of the most powerful men in the United States government and he's floridly insane in a way that's not just putting on an act.

It’s cliché to call the Boundary Waters a refuge, but it certainly was mine when I was a kid.

His crayon-drawn world
"Donald Trump is an uncomplicated person. His crayon-drawn world is peopled by great friends and terrible enemies. He instinctively sides with the bloody autocrat who flatters him over the American journalist who holds him politely to account..."

Masked thugs attacking people. This dehumanization is a stain that will not wash out.
The ugliness in wanting this, is the abuser coming home from work each night to terrorize their family.

It gets wonky, but the bottom line is that a dozen or so states (including both deep blue & deep red ones) have implemented a pricing policy called #PremiumAlignment which has the effect of dramatically reducing NET premiums on Bronze & Gold plans without negatively impacting most Silver enrollees.

Listen, my children, as here is unfurled
The story of the sandwich that was hurled
On the 10th of August in ‘25;
What a moment to be alive!

As many chose to look down and duck,
One man decided he had to stand up,
And so he wound up, and said ‘What the f___’
And gave his sandwich a freedom chuck.

This is a great read
Here, if people are interested, is a wide-ranging interview with a couple of Claremont students from a month ago. A little on contemporary politics and on Trump and on Mamdani, a little on conservatism and liberalism, a little on liberal education.

Trump has been sharing his worst nightmares since Tuesday. They all involve a functioning democracy.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Is it possible Adelita Grijalva will only be sworn in after the unfortunate Nancy Mace has an event worthy of removing her from the discharge?

This is my crazy thought of the day.

Yes, the people on your screen observing on the election should know that there's an alternative model for how to do it. It's called the citizens agenda. I have been writing about it, and advocating for it, since 2010. pressthink.org/2010/08/the-...
