every 6 months the Trump administration realizes lowering tariffs will lower prices, applies this insight to one specific good, and then proceeds to never introspect beyond that. It’s honestly beautiful in its stupidity.

Unearthed documents just revealed Ken Paxton, as Attorney General, protected a research lab that tortured 400 puppies. Paxton was also one of the only Texas lawmakers to vote against a bill to hold animal abusers accountable.
SCHOOL BOARD SLATE: WON. GOODBYE MOMS FOR LIBERTY. We knocked doors all summer in these districts.
Polls are about to close in much of Florida. One thing I’ll be watching: school boards. It’s not the highest profile certainly, but important contests.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 7d agoReally important school board races this coming Tuesday in Florida. This was ground zero for Moms for Liberty. Important: if someone tops 50%, they win for real. Nothing left for November. This is it. I detail what there is to know about 6 key boards: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Dems & the DSA are all democrats, and we need to beat united. We need each other. The primary election winners are demonstrating that perfectly; why can’t the pundits & party leadership? We need to beat the REPUBLICANS, not ourselves. Bad actors will try to exploit perceived rifts. Don’t let them.
CAUTION READING ANYTHING FROM THE ACCOUNT BELOW: Chronology bills itself as Breaking News, but from this example, I wouldn't call it either. This is about the ICE murder of JOHAN Sebastián Durán Guerrero from July 13. Yet the UNDATED story implies it was yesterday and misspells the victim's name.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Fixing healthcare implies it was working fine before. While the ACA/Obamacare was a huge improvement, it didn't ensure every American had affordable healthcare, so "fixing" is not sufficient. We need affordable universal healthcare and it must be in place by Jan 1, 2030.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoWELKER: As Democratic leader in the House, would you vote for or against Medicare for All? JEFFRIES: It's not legislation that I currently am co-sponsoring or that I support, but I support the notion we've got to find a path forward to fix our broken healthcare system
Occasional Transpo@occtranspo.bsky.social · 5d agoThey "want" more people to use public transit (or visit downtown), but they also subject people to 20m-1h wait times on every leg of the journey. Once people buy a car because you made weekend travel horrific, they're not going to ditch it for weekday travel. Think! @helps.octranspo.com

Ian Wheeler was just AMAZING on that drive. I don't think I've heard his name before & don't know if we'll see play during the regular season, but with a performance like that I'm sure he'll be at least on a practice squad if not for the #Bills then for another team. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Whe...

Sorry kids, the U.S. Attorney General can campaign for a candidate, but not using DOJ authority, staff, taxpayer resources, or the official title to influence the election. Cabinet officials have more political latitude under the Hatch Act than ordinary federal employees, but there are limits.
Replacing canceled actors would be a GOOD use for AI in Hollywood. Though I would hope that the voice work would be done by live actors.

Every weekday for over ten years one or two Trump supporters have called my SiriusXM program to troll/challenge me. Until four months ago. Now weeks go by before one calls, and then it's really weak sauce. They seem to have just melted away.
A previous Republican House impeached a President over similar allegations. Will this Republican House at least demand that Miller withdraw from running for re-election?
