Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

pleeeeeeeeease let this mean something.
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

“I refuse to pretend that both of us are dumber than we are” is a tour de force insult, simultaneously respectful and brutal
If Isaac Chotiner ever said this to me, I would move to the woods.

If anything, media outlets often buy into the narrative that cascading failures of infrastructure are *OUR* fault and not the infrastructure overseers' lack of attention. Like "oh you shouldn't run the AC full blast in the summer" "oh the public clogged the storm drains, that's why there's floods"

Various places have brownouts all the time in the summer
Flint, MI
Consider it an underreported issue, but also, I'm not quite supporting the idea that obstinacy makes sense. You find the problem and solve it with simple-in-concept capacity

Yeah, with this I’m taking the position that if you need those sewer or power upgrades, and someone proposes a development, you can’t refuse on zoning, you’re obliged to add the capacity in 3-5 years almost like “builder’s remedy”. (Particularly for housing during a housing shortage)

I didn't read the rest of the context around this but if you just needed one trip there to get something (in my case, it's my yearly bundle of generic Zyrtec pills) you don't need a membership, you just need a member to buy you a $25 gift card
Most of their deals aren't THAT special tho

I also find that a membership is unsuitable for our needs, but I managed to finagle gift cards anyway.
Anyone who shows up to the checkout at Costco with a gift card, membership or not, is welcome to complete a purchase. Of any size. Even with the minimum gift card size ($25)

Broke: DOGE is dead
Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity
Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

The fact that this took so long should be a cause for reckoning. One thing we have to understand is, most people aren't changing their news sources when their news sources are embarrassingly wrong and late, and we need to deal with that urgently and swiftly
Finally, the media worm is turning on Trump:
*NYT reports Rs quietly looking beyond Trump
*Axios says "red alert" time for Trump/GOP
*Politico reports MAGA culture-war now failing
*Trump clearly declining in many polls
On the pod we parse through all this evidence:

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.
