Magic story is important! The weariness for the “hat sets” demonstrates that you can’t just slap any old reference on a magic card and have people like it. People like well-built worlds and intentional storytelling. That’s part of the secret sauce that makes magic special!

Democrats: This Is War. Isn’t It Time You Acted Like It?
Trump is counting on his opposition’s deeply ingrained fear of being divisive to give him the room to break the country. So far he’s getting what he wants.

Dems spent years avoiding having any kind of convo about adding seats to the Supreme Court because 'what kind of precedent would that set for Republicans?'
Meanwhile, the GOP take office & within weeks are openly talking about ignoring court verdicts and impeaching judges. Sigh.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

A billionaire promoting the power of Unions is not on by 2025 bingo card.
Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
Thoughts ?

Duffy is a climate change denier, a lobbyist, & a supporter of Trump’s Muslim ban and anti immigrant bigotry. Yet here is a top Democratic senator not just voting for him but introducing and vouching for him.
This is the Democratic ‘resistance’ to Trump term 2.

The Senate has voted 97-0 to invoke cloture on the nomination of Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transportation.
Duffy, a former Wisconsin Congressman, was introduced at his hearing by Senator Tammy Baldwin who said it was a “pleasure” to introduce him and that he was “the right person for this job.”
