A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

assimilating to Thanksgiving is, like, the easiest imaginable thing
It’s how you end up with language like “paperwork American” or the idea that Thanksgiving turkey is some sort of natural ethno-national tradition that certain other groups are incapable of ever appreciating

just a reminder that King folded in September. don't believe he ever voted against cloture.

not sure he really is the guy to talk to re: what the people who moved their votes were thinking.
Straightforward confirmation from Angus King that the gang of eight made the deal out of earnest concern for the filibuster. www.pressherald.com/2025/11/13/w...

also the more they say it the less i believe it
“Actually, he only raped teenagers” is a hell of a thing to say out loud.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

the key problem here is that the threshold for "publishable info" is a moving target and it moves to Trump's benefit
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

Tim Kaine will 1000% vote to kill the filibuster in 2029 if we have a D trifecta just fwiw. he wanted to kill it in 2021 for voting rights legislation.

there's going to be some pretty cool natural experiments in which AI companies produce better results as large organizations like states and big corps pick their partners
It’s not enough to rebuild someone else’s broken government. We need to innovate.

This partnership will speed up our efforts to fight poverty, help renters become homeowners, and make sure Marylanders can quickly get basic services like food assistance and financial support.

Re Fetterfall: has to be after the Morning Joe hit so shortly before 8 AM at earliest. Deleted other speculation. kinda weird to describe as "early morning" but that's the timeline
he was on Morning Joe today (presumably before the fall) and seemed sober
Fetterman on Morning Joe: "I know both of you have been punished to have conversations, ongoing dialogue with President Trump. I got hit just to have dinner with him after he invited me to have that conversation. Pennsylvania keeps people honest."

Two things can be simultaneously true:

- It's worse for a middle-aged man to be into 5-years-olds than 15-year-olds
- It's still pretty damn wrong for a middle-aged man to be into 15-year-olds!
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

people are being very flip about the possible harms of getting rid of the filibuster *right now* in a way that imo undermines the core case that the Republic is in special peril. it's clearly all downside until 2027 even if you grant electoral backlash! Dems can't have a trifecta until 2029!

really looking forward to the Epstein themed Connections tho
every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

I kinda think Vance is also maybe going to get chopped if Trump does
Do wonder if and when a Vance faction tries to convince the rest of the GOP to jettison Trump and stop the bleeding.
