Friendly reminder that James Carville hasn't won an election since 1996 and we should treat his takes accordingly.

There is a style of management which does this, almost entirely defined by its lack of sufficient theory of mind to understand how other people would react to this.
News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

The irony is that I was actually VERY skeptical about the files or the existence of a client list. After reading this, I'm not skeptical at all.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13.
I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior
Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

$100 invested in the S&P 500 on Oct 27, 2022, when the Twitter acquisition closed, is worth $142 today. $100 kept in Vichy Twitter just paid off at $73. Almost exactly a 50% loss vs an index fund for his co-investors but Musk gets ever wealthier! Funny how that works out!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Can someone who's not Schumer explain why helping the GOP pass their terrible spending bill is a net positive? Because it will force them to break the government 10% slower or something?

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.
Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.
