And if you think Kathy is a radical leftist Dem you clearly live on Mars. She’s from conservative Western NY, about as centrist as they get.

Firstly, it’s the Magnificent Mile not Miracle Mile. Which is clearly just the tip of his iceberg of ignorance.

Feels like a risky move to shift investment from a hardware maker that will definitely be selling chips to AI firms, to the AI software entity that is buying that hardware to support a business model of as-yet unproven profitability. They are clearly guzzling as much Kool-Aid as possible.

Source: I managed tens of millions of dollars of federal funds over a 17 year career as a PM on federal infrastructure projects.

Even if you accept that he has independent authority to tax (tariffs), and that the anti-impoundment act is unconstitutional (congressional appropriations are ceilings not floors), he still can’t supplement appropriations or spend money without an appropriation. So where is the tariff money?

GAO needs to require a full accounting of all the tariff funds. How much has been collected, how much has been expended, and by what agencies. Pretty clear there have been massive violations of fiscal law happening out of public view.

Not shaking hands with anyone named Gavin ever again, just to be sure.

These people should be feverishly proselytizing for ranked choice voting. Because that or proportional representation needs to happen before there can be meaningful third party choices in this country.

Normalizing it.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they are working to queue up the next attempt.

This will never see the light of day in the house EVEN IF Thune keeps his word (questionable). How can he be such a sucker? Primary him.

So is the argument that there is a federal interest in having the results known as soon as possible after polls close, and therefore ballots must be delivered by Election Day? Because that is transparently bullshit. People just need to reset their expectations and wait another day or so.

Won’t matter. Even if he keeps his word it will never see the light of day in the House.

So tiresome to be doing this every 3months or so.

I have to assume she isn’t actually stupid enough to believe this bullshit.
