So what does it look like if we have more than 55 Senate seats in 2028 & the right end of the caucus is Jeanne Shaheen instead of Ben Nelson & Jon Ossoff instead of Tom Carper?
Let me tell you what it looks like: it looks good

this is a disorienting moment for elder millennials imo because many of us had the 2004-2006 elections as like our formative memory and so there’s a real whiff of IT’S ALL HAPPENING AGAIN that is destabilizing even if you try to resist it

The Teump admin (and his Republican majority in congress) is combining the ‘99 dot-com crash with Smoot-Hawley. We haven’t felt the pain yet but it’s coming. Next year could be rough.

If Thanksgiving dinner included complaints about higher prices, expect a double serving by Christmas and even more pain by Easter.

The constitution guarantees a republican (small R) form of government at the state level. A plain reading of the text should prohibit maps like these.
Reconstruction 2.0 is the only possible response.

there is no legitimate definition of the term "democracy" under which maps like these are "democratic." this level of stovepiping is banana republic shit. this is effectively no different from stuffing a ballot box
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

Hear me out: child daycare at workplaces. Small business can coordinate with other neighbouring small business. Take your babies to work. If there's a problem, your right there. Fund it publicly. Like school.
After school programs- kids are brought to workplace daycares.

Important lesson here for democrats:
Oligarchs and corporations respond to incentives. So if there’s a threat of punishment for wrongdoing, they’ll just do the right thing. But the accountability has to be real.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Cars generally are horrible at scale. There’s a density at which in order to be usable, they completely shut down everything else. And even the cars themselves are not very good
A city with a few hundred robotaxis is cool and futuristic, but with 100,000+ it'll be gridlocked and dangerous.
All the more reason for local leaders to adopt congestion pricing and automatic traffic enforcement ASAP.
