my somewhat unconventional bond opinion is that you don’t want any of your favorite big name actors in this role, because the bond contracts are notoriously restrictive about what films they can do for like a decade

my extremely boring James Bond opinion is that casting a handsome young dude who can credibly punch bad guys and smolder sexily at ladies is all we need to do here it's James Bond, there's a formula, people like the formula, people will watch the formula

Mike Johnson is the most powerful person in the U.S. House, and he has made it abundantly clear that domestic violence isn’t disqualifying. Which makes it very clear that he doesn’t care about domestic violence. And while none of this is surprising, we should not stop being horrified by it.

Mike Johnson told Politico that he's standing behind Max Miller despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him. Pro tip: if Mike Johnson is for it, do the opposite.

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Without getting into sourcing, this article is off-base. Some of New York's biggest power players are talking to Mamdani *all the time*. I met with one just the other day who said he's had 10 meetings with Mamdani since he won the primary.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Biden’s bet that the Inflation Reduction Act could address climate change and create jobs for voters is widely considered to have been a bust—but this is the wrong lesson to draw from his administration’s experience, @leahstokes.bsky.social argues.
