pretentious, insufferable, naive liberals—who lose sight of bigger picture because they care too much about injustice— are infinitely better choice vs dumpster-fire nazis who intentionally push world into the abyss

be less pretentious insufferable & naive. no tantrums, let’s just win midterms.

red state boomers unlikely to vote dem over premiums—but 40m SNAP recipients who went hungry this weekend know Dems went to bat for them.

2m Gov workers will get paid. SNAP & VA are now off table. Dems strengthened hand.

if GoP reneges on ACA, right back to shut down by Feb, w/midterms 8 mos away

>50% of population meme-bouncing in self-curated echo chambers

while some of them w/obscene wealth undermine & upend truth seeking democracies

and autocrats game reality to feed simulacrum w/ spectacle

not great for a society w ability to destroy itself

read Jacobsen & see how easy it starts

DJT is dangerous AF, but each POTUS since Eisenhower has been unforgivingly reckless.

ashes isn’t just the legacy of the CIA, U.S. NatSec keeps ‘operating’ aka f*king around as it has for the last 80 yrs and we all will find out

saw 6 plates +bar —and first thought was holy god 45 lbs x7= 315 lbs

routinely fell behind double digits nearly every game = not good.

fwiw, doubt it had much to do w/ Kat. (i) Bridges pending free agency looms (he’s unhappy) (ii) TT failed to develop a bench during regular season and was freestyling vs pacers (iii) what tier 1 free agents refuse to play for TT? 🤔

me: “official” Murph: 200 pushups & 2 miles +100 pull-ups +300 squats *while wearing 20 lb weighted vest* (first two maybe but the last two? 🤮)

my 60 yr old neighbor: ima run CA to NY—92 b2b 30 milers— while towing a 80 lbs stroller.

we are not the same.

satellites were already vulnerable amigo. swfound.org/counterspace/

that said, golden dome is a pipe dream; won’t mitigate nuclear threat

solving: (i) hypersonic ICBMs (ii) out-of-atmosphere flight (iii) MIRVs similar to assuming AGI & QC are real (both fantasies would need to be realized 1st)

“In an environment where costs are rising not only from tariffs but also from shortages, the Fed could initially exacerbate cost pressures by lowering rates without relieving stress on the economy.”

did you read nikileaks’ latest?

there’s no way for the Fed to win right now

it all changed the moment he yipped.

since then, markets all in that he finds a way to off ramp entirely, ignoring the increasing bluster from him / Lutnick / Navarro that contradict thesis ie “tariffs here to stay”

His lies about CN negotiations are a bigger tell, confirming they want an out
