NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

I find mainstream U.S. journalism so fucking feckless and weird.

Like why are you quoting Vivek Ramaswamy? You literally couldn't find any actual economists or academics to talk to who have spent an entire life studying consumer affordability issues?

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

This video confirms my reporting from my Monday newsletter:

While NFL players seem to believe the NFL's sexual celebration rules are highly specific (a la Key and Peele's 2 pumps vs. 3 pumps), the actual rule asks each ref to determine what is illegally sexy based on their personal preferences

There is so much to say about what Biden and Harris did dreadfully wrong but I’m sympathetic to the argument that the big thing the Dems needed to do to win the 2024 elections was not win the 2020 ones.

one thing that is clear from the precinct data is that "Asian" needs to be disaggregated (in ways that weren't really the case in 2024)

Zohran ran up large majorities in heavily South Asian areas while running closer to even in heavily East Asian (primarily Chinese) areas

Spanberger’s campaign in its form and function was more similar to Mamdani’s than anyone will admit. But it was for Virginia.
