Polisci guy. Clean on opsec.
You CANNOT say this! Caving is bad enough, you don’t have to do it in a way that maximally emboldens Trump.

The message should be something like “hungry people can’t afford to wait for the courts to reverse Trump’s illegal SNAP cuts.” Or better yet, don’t cave!

Sure the game is great but I also got to learn that my local Fox affiliate knows the local microclimates better than anyone

Trump's SEC hires:

LSU - Mike Ditka
Florida - Jimmy Johnson
Auburn - Clay Travis
Arkansas - Marco Rubio
Ole Miss - Bill Belichick
Oklahoma - D.J. Durkin

The fastest way for the Democrats to become competitive in the south again would be for Trump to make a bunch of SEC football hires. I think everyone should let Jeff Landry know what a great idea that is.

Gov. Jeff Landry had other plans.

“No, I can tell you right now Scott Woodward is not selecting our next coach,” Landry said during a news conference at the state capitol in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.

“Maybe we’ll let President Trump pick it,” he added.

LSU does not have a full-time president, athletic director or head football coach, and the governor is sticking himself into the whole process.

It simply does not get more dysfunctional than this. www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Great summary of what the Democrats are trying to fix with this shutdown. Many people are in line for truly massive premium increases next year.

I agree on the merits. How often did Kirk admit that an opponent made a good point? How often did he change his mind on an issue? When someone bested him, did those moments end up on YouTube, or the cutting room floor?…
“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.

@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.
