If I take $5 and give you $10 do you care which I call taxes and which I call premiums? No.

And there is nothing a government that issues its own sovereign currency "can't afford".
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?

R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?

The relentless gambing ads and intrusive clickable overlays paint a bleak fucking picture of the future streaming sports. I hate all of this.

Absolutely love Oregon's entry in The Nation's "These Dis-United States."

"Raise a flag to that." A-goddamn-men. Amazing work from @mirkdrop.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Mall 205 Target has three security guards dressed like their about to storm Fallajuh but press a service call button because the item you're interested in is locked up and nobody ever shows up. Incredible choice in priorities.

Witnessed a man walk up and tell the not even close to pregnant bartender congratulations while pointing to her belly. If she had killed him then and there I would have helped her hide the body.

Remember that the Pope is just a man, he cannot perform miracles. Or he's a Cubs fan.

#Handsoff PDX was so large it shutdown two bridges simultaneously. This trucker, who was probably stuck here more than an hour, was honking his horn in support.

Hackman's line in Crimson Tide: "I can't stand save-asses and I won't abide kiss-asses", and JD Vance somehow manages to be both.

When I reached out for tech support through your website's generic contact form my desire was for you to provide no technical assistance and instead send me marketing emails for the rest of my life. Perfect, nailed it, thank you.

Nobody actually cares about bipartisanship; they care that you get things they want done. Show me a single voter who benefits from legislation that provides, say, affordable childcare, that would penalize Dems for doing so without some Republican votes.
Mitch McConnell's big insight: The American public never blames the minority party. Only people who play close attention to politics notice.

For everyone else—including a lot of media—the president is the main character, bipartisanship means POTUS did good, and stuff not passing means POTUS failed.
Democrats are taking heat for this Politico reporting, but the framing here explains why they're timid on this.

Even with Republicans in complete control of the federal government, the Democrats are getting set up for blame if the government is shut down. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Shootout to the bartender who didn't reward the line cutter. Didn't make a thing of it, just internally clocked who he would have been after and let him stand there like an asshole until it was his proper turn. Effortless. A pro. A hat tip and a fat tip for you.
