I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · last yr.you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead
me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’
Melissa & Chris Bruntlett@modacitylife.com · last yr.A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵
Don’t be this person. Politics is performative. Booker is forcing the media and party to pay attention. 100k people are watching him on YouTube alone. Criticism like this is idiotic and emblematic of the “perfect as enemy of good” narrative that cripples the party.
I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
I want Booker to just start naming 90s baseball players soon.
what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!
Tammy Duckworth was a Black Hawk pilot. I will take her word on what counts as classified information for military pilots over someone whose military experience is that their own national guard unit had him removed from a presidential inauguration over concerns he violently opposed democratic norms.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Duckworth goes on Fox and Baier reads her statement calling Hegseth a “f**king liar”
it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other
whether they’re retiring or not this should be the last term for each of them
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2y agoThe final tally to advance the CR is 62-38. The Democrats who voted for cloture, giving Donald Trump everything he wants: Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gillibrand (NY) Hassan (NH) Peters (MI) Schatz (HI) Schumer (NY) Shaheen (NH)
When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and it’s an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2y agoRFK Jr: "It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity."
Last week: tariffs don't cause inflation - other countries pay the tariff, not American consumers This week: ok, so we lied about that, but the inflation is ultimately a good thing! Next week: listen, we need these austerity measures to defeat the depression and build back to prior levels of GDP
Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.gov · 2y agoBut if the price of goods is rising to facilitate the reinvigoration of American production and a transition to an economy that prioritizes domestic goods and markets, that’s a tradeoff we should consider.
As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.
ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
Jonathan V. Last@jvl.bsky.social · 2y agoAmerica is over. There is no coming back from this. If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for. The rest of the world has to move on from us. They now know that the American people can't be trusted. They're right.

Something that I think is really beautiful is every single one of these boys. Big big seven.
I think we need to give Slot some credit because he’s a real shithouse. He’s seen complaints about how others lack outright attackers and despite being quite spoiled has decided to shift to an emphasis on midfielders scoring. Not even always on late runs!
if all athletes can't come to a country to participate in a global competition then that competition shouldn't take place in that country

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.
Can Liverpool hire a specific “close that player down” coach? Goodness
i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 2y agoOn Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...
Stressful game but a good day out. Up the top of the league Reds ❣️
