degrowth should probably start with mark zuckerberg’s $300,000,000 yacht and not like your cousin’s adderall
I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

💸 $1.1 billion in taxpayer dollars (at least)
🅿️ 8,000 parking spots, no Metro expansion
🏟️ A stadium that sits unused 335 days a year
The proposal announced today is a bad deal for DC.

I am sorry for Vance's kid, but he leads a regime that has called for a "de-Baathification" of public employees, promising to put them "in trauma."
This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being “uncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are “intolerant” and “extreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

Tale as old as time
With aid frozen, and some climate aid unlikely to return, experts warn that extremist groups could exploit the climate crisis to recruit struggling pastoral and farming communities.
As climate aid dries up, experts warn that extremism is likely to rise

This ridiculous passage from the New York Times today exemplifies why the Lib establishment is unprepared to meet the moment. Hochul *has* the legal authority to fire Adams, but shouldn’t because it would “muddy the waters”?? So when your opponent does something illegal, you unilaterally disarm???

This is every social gathering, school event. I dno if the city survives this one.
Was at an event in DC this evening with a lot of federal employees and it is absolutely wrenching to talk to people who dedicated themselves to public service work through the appalling attacks and uncertainty that they are facing now.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
