There have been a lot of stories about the role private equity plays in our economy, and I think there is a great opportunity for an explainer article:

* What is private equity?
* How does it work?
* What is the fastest way to murder it dead?

Short thread on Massachusetts Republicans, who are almost never as moderate as they would like you to think:

From local news: the Hudson Republican Town Committee has cancelled a speaking event they hosted for J6 locals.

This is good news, but we cannot allow people to forget: the Hudson Republicans openly endorsed insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the U.S. government.

Musk has no legal authority, but Congress is doing nothing about it because the Republican majority feel like they can't go against Trump - even those who don't like what he's doing. That would only change if they think that their Trump-supporting voters are freaked out about what Musk is doing.

Henceforth please note that the appropriate way to refer to Donald Trump in all print media is "Donald Trump, convicted felon"

Speaker of the house
Went out in a blaze
Only lasted 13 score & nine more days

Couldn’t please the base
Couldn’t please the rest
Now he gets some time to sail off to the west

Somewhere deep in this fiasco
There’s a lesson to be learned
If the Dems can vote together maybe you should be concerned.
