Taxes on land value, pollution & IP should replace taxes on work. Split DC into 127 states to achieve a supermajority to make the Constitution fair. #LVT #UBI

"Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states..."

And that's not even counting the criminals not on the federal payroll.
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Universe brain: 127 states of DC for the purpose of amending the Constitution to ensure equal representation.

Thank you Mr. President for confirming that Republicans have 100% of the ability to reopen the government but are choosing not to do so.
Bluesky has a 3-minute limit but here's most of Trump's new video telling Republicans to end the filibuster.

"It was their idea originally, Obama and Harry Reid, in order to screw the Republicans, and now we can turn it around and we can screw the Democrats and make our country so strong."
Trump take thousand year reich
the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit
Oh, "No Two State addition" from the guy who wanted Canada to become the 51st state?
“Voter reform” is incredibly ominous.
As others have mentioned, it doesn't seem MattY has actually listed what things the American right is correct about on the merits. But the other thing is whether whatever they have correct about exceeds what they have wrong about and whether they should be allowed to have power based on that.
I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.
This one simple trick will turn Xitter into Boer Truth Social: just pull the bandage and go to Bluesky and let the Nazis stew on the fact that they lack rational people to troll and harass on the Nazi site.
The authoritarian takeover of X was a harbinger of the regime’s strategy for America at large.

Bluesky is a perfectly adequate refuge for X exiles. The biggest problem with Bluesky is that so many political and media elites are still on X. That’s not Bluesky’s fault—it reflects poorly on the elite.
I'm doing a big Bluesky column today! Hit me with your where-Bluesky-is-at-this-moment-in-2025 takes
What is lost also is that it's the players themselves to blame since they've pushed the nuclear option button over a salary cap. It seems the players are fine with the Dodgers "buying" championships since they don't want a system that defangs the Dodgers.
blaming the dodgers for spending a ton of money is low hanging fruit. blaming the astros for the dodgers spending money is where it’s at
The supply of land if landowners went on strike:
I'm gonna steal it. I'm gonna steal the third term from the 22nd Amendment.
The second most famous hit a Will Smith has ever made.
At long last, we are doing Great Gatsby parties from the hit book “don’t do Great Gatsby parties”
Someone explain to me the thinking here.
"Democrats need better messaging despite their messaging being twisted and/or ignored by the media in order to win" is just the same advice as "Democrats need to just convince voters better despite heavily gerrymandered maps in order to win."
You misspelled Georgism. 😛
this strikes me as something akin to when Greenspan remarked in 2008, about his prior economic ideas, "I have found a flaw. I don't know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very distressed by that fact."

Greenspan has not since become a champion of social democracy, however.
Mr. Obama sir we tried to tell you that you were running with a bad crowd (billionaires), they’re bad news

I know there's some people who think that the GOP would be open to a basic income in order to simplify and consolidate social welfare programs, but they'd still be against it and dog whistle against it like is done here.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.
Republicans like to say that the Democrats are the party of the elite yet their leader decorates everything as if he's living during the Ancien Régime.
Mar-a-Lago bathroom selfie
Obama (if Trump) 2028.
it seems bad to me that basically outside of Obama, the amount of people in the Democratic Party who can basically give a good speech is like a list of 10 people
"Wife mad at you? DEI." is phenomenal work.
But the "housing nest egg" argument doesn't make sense much anyways because either a) the senior lives their rest of their life in the house, not ever cracking open the nest egg, or b) if they sell the house, they have to buy another one in a higher price environment, which devalues the nest egg.
It wouldn't make sense to not reform a sector of the economy to be more competitive and lower prices to preserve the stock price of certain companies that people are invested, so it similarly doesn't make sense to do so with housing, even if it were true.
Every single day, I'm told that home prices have to stay high since seniors rely on that equity to fund their retirement.

The evidence that this is true, however, is remarkably thin. Yet it's something that's nearly universally treated as true.

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.
