I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

Remember prior generations being asked to sacrifice for the greater good? Now we’re being asked to ditch Christmas gifts for adults for the purpose of facilitating the admin’s graft and destruction of the commons.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Criminal mismanagement of the offensive talent on this team
I’m sorry, but if people ostensibly on our side have the power to fight and choose not to, how can we expect them to be useful in some later fight? And how can we remove the feckless from power and replace them with fighters without a fight?
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Regardless of intent, actions like this are an argument for dissolution of the union.
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

One of the flaws in the logic here is that one side is actively trying to prevent so many of us from either living here or living at all. This assumes from the other side good faith and shared ideals that demonstrably aren't present.
"Much of what I would describe as Kirk's worst moments were now just standard fair MAGA Republicanism. And the leader of MAGA Republicanism is the President of the United States...we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree."

This is not the safe course, it's a reckless gamble that the party will magically rebound from record unfavorable polling numbers by quietly helping Republicans fund their agenda and avoid a major electoral problem until just after the midterms.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

Seems that taxing them at 50% for state income tax is not the same as banning them.
3d Cir. holds, 2-1, that New Jersey's ban on contracts for private immigration detention violates the supremacy clause because it directly regulates federal government activity.

![C. AB 5207 directly regulates the federal government
by banning contracts that only the federal government can make
Applying the functional approach that intergovernmental
immunity demands, this law directly regulates the federal government. True, its text does not apply to the federal government. But we can easily see the law for what it really is: a regulation “laid upon the contract of the government.” Dravo
Contracting, 302 U.S. at 149. The law prevents the federal
government from choosing how and through whom it will
carry out a core federal function. It does so by banning private
parties from selling immigration detention when “the only
entity in the business, so to speak, of [buying private] immigration det[ention] is the federal government.” United States v.
King County, 122 F.4th 740, 757 (9th Cir. 2024) (striking down
a ban on deportation flights as violating both prongs of intergovernmental immunity). Only the federal government has the

The central dividing line in Democratic politics is not between the left and the moderate wing, it’s between serious people who understand we’re in an existential fight against an incipient fascist regime and irredeemable narcissists who just want to keep fighting the 2016 primary forever.
