I don’t know quite what to say about the events that just transpired in Utah, so I won’t say much.
I will say:
-I abhor guns & gun violence.
-History shows how political violence is rarely worth the collateral.
-I’m afraid of what may come next.
-I’m gutted for all who were traumatized today.

Not at all a novel review or observation but wow Sinners was phenomenal. Unlike any movie I’ve seen and yet woven from so many recognizable threads into something totally new and itself. Highly recommend.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

fwiw, “cheap goods from china” really understates the high quality of manufacturing you can get from chinese suppliers these days. also, we can have real prosperity with pro labor economy and a generous social insurance state but they don’t want that!
Kudlow: "Buying cheap goods is not a real prosperity, and we don't have to accept that. So you lay the law down, that's all. Look, all the badly behaving children in Asia and elsewhere are coming home to papa. They're all on the phone begging for mercy."

Commentary: We’re hungry for some hope. We’re looking for some guidance. We’re casting about for role models — for ourselves and for our kids. We’re listening for someone to say: This is not the America we’ve been working toward. This is not normal.

i may be unserious, hysterical and woke, but my strategy of “taking trump seriously no matter how insane he sounds” has paid more analytical dividends than the alternatives
Think part of the problem with describing Trump seriously is that no one actually seems to actually ever take his entire ideological outlook seriously, so absurdist means tend be be more effective at evoking political affect
