@james_tpt Projection much? He’s flipping off the flag while cashing American checks. MAGA’s just the convenient scapegoat for entertainers too scared to bite the hand that feeds. Stay mad, stay irrelevant.

@YosarianTwo @SteamboatLion Yosarian, I see no plausible model that makes this a probable inference rather than a merely possible outcome. Trump has behavioral boundaries and wiggles around inside them. On nearly any model, 0-N years sees more previous-boundary-breaking movement than N-N*2 years.

Great story from Vermont: after Bernie left as mayor of Burlington, Republicans took control and slashed city budgets, causing huge snow plowing issues and leading to the popular bumper sticker: "At least the hippies plowed the streets"

NYC is forecasted to get 3–16 inches of snow this weekend. And we’re ready. We’ll issue a Code Blue later today, and outreach workers will ramp up efforts to connect unhoused New Yorkers to safe shelter. Tomorrow, we'll begin pre-snow treatment, brining highways and major

I’m Bill Hill, a commercial fisherman, former construction worker, longtime teacher, and lifelong Alaskan from Bristol Bay. And I’m running for Congress. It’s going to take a lot of work to fix this country. But that’s okay – hard work is what Alaskans are all about.

Wisconsin is on fire. Wages are too low, costs are too high, and politicians in Washington are watching us burn while billionaires win. I’m Mike Thurow, a trained firefighter running for WI-06, because when there’s a fire, you don’t pick who to save. You show up & do the work.

For years techies have been gleefully turning up the heat and telling the rest of the world they'll be boiling soon and have only recently realized they're in the pot as well

I totally understand the schadenfreude of non-tech people discovering vibecoding and celebrating the (eventual) end of software engineering as we know it. Tech people are annoying. I just wonder how many of them realize they’re getting boiled in the same pot.

For our launch event this past Thursday, we couldn't find a podium. So, my campaign manager and I built one in his garage. That's the kind of campaign we're building – one that isn't afraid to get dirt under our nails. If you believe in taking that message to voters, chip in

I’m Brian Poindexter - I’m a union ironworker, and I’m running for Congress because working people's lives keep getting harder and harder while billionaires keep getting richer and richer. Washington isn't making it any easier. I'm ready to fight back. Are you?

I’m Sam Forstag - I’m a smokejumper, a union leader, and I’m running for Congress because for too long, Montanans have been breaking their backs just to fall further behind. Together, we can build an economy that works for working people.
