DC dad and education policy guy. Former @dcbeer editor. Tweets are going to be some awful pie chart of craft beer, dynasty baseball, Everton, politics, policy, dadding, cooking, and snark. Definitely snark.
the “op” is that vance is the most visibly sweaty, pathetic and juiceless national politician in recent memory

As @brianbeutler.bsky.social argued, the next Democratic president should send bulldozers to the Supreme Court and tell them they have 15 minutes to decide if the Unitary Executive Theory is real.
Dean Baker@deanbaker13.bsky.social · 4d agoPretty brilliant how Trump is taking the Kennedy Center hostage, says he'll tear it down if he can't put his name on it www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... As Trump says, no one has ever seen anything like it before.
Get yours this Thursday 8/27! (Moreland’s Tavern 14th and Colorado/Kennedy 6-10pm)
Was skeptical of this Bluejacket Officers Club exclusive but it came out pretty tasty. Strawberry comes through very nicely. I would’ve liked this more as a saison than a lager I think. Officers Club continues to produce cool, quirky beers though.
It's the same cycle we've been in since GWB. GOP elected > GOP Ruin economy with war and crimes > dems elected > dems given zero clearance to enact policy > people mad at dems because *reasons* > GOp elected > rinse and repeat
Kelly: Trump knows nothing about this stuff… He's a marginally failed real estate developer with multiple bankruptcies. He shouldn't be weighing in on systems on aircraft carriers.
Mayor Goodway is actually from a classic American tradition of mayorship; popular locally because she's so involved in everything even though there are loads of corrupt favors for her chicken. Similarly Mayor Humdinger is some type of local business tyrant.
Ed Lyons@mysteriousrook.com · 3w agoI have had this discussion with other dads: what kind of government does the city of Adventure Bay have? You could claim it is Warlordism. Or you could claim it was the old Italian elite patron-client model. But it is not a free society.
Trump has achieved the dream of every Florida HOA Karen: playing golf under a complete multi-domain military defense curtain

SAVOR sure does look different these days. The pandemic really did change everything
Fuck. At 4:31AM. By a vote of 50-49. Todd Blanche—Donald Trump’s personal defense attorney—now runs the Justice Department. Before dawn, in a nearly empty chamber. That’s how you confirm someone you can’t defend in daylight.
People are criticizing me unfairly, such as for my actions and their inevitable consequences

Once again … conservatives … simply believe rule of law/ethics ….accountability do not apply to them. If she were a “liberal law professor” appointed to a federal judge position and she kept running a family business … there would be investigation and talk for impeachment by now.
Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social · 3w agoFederal judge ran PR firm for 6 mos. But since it was a family business, it was a "gray area," apparently. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
Nine years ago, there were over 100,000 barrels brewed in Frederick, Maryland. Where did they go? The short answer is New York, or to hard seltzer and canned cocktails. But that’s not an honest accounting. Let us explain.
100,000 Barrels Lost, Wherefore Art Thou? | DC Beer
In 2025 Frederick County, Maryland brewed about 7500 barrels of beer. In 2021 Flying Dog themselves brewed over 81000 barrels. Where did all that beer go?

I dunno man maybe the fact that the Brewers continually outperform expectations in the regular season only to accomplish nothing in the postseason is a total fluke and they should just keep doing what they're doing, but I would at least consider doing something different one time. Just for fun.
Mike Elias built a core of incredibly valuable young hitters and then pretty much refused to take the pitching side of things seriously for multiple years. He wasted one of the most enviable cores of the past decade. Incredible work!
