Gallego: "Donald Trump is gonna be gone in a couple years. And if you're part of the military that is going after sitting members of Congress and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences. Without a doubt."

I think it’s worth saying that assuming a ceasefire in place is reached in Ukraine—like with Israel and HAMAS in Gaza—it’ll merely be a temporary suspension in fighting that doesn’t resolve core tensions that created the conflict.
Russia isn’t going to stop wanting to erase Ukrainian sovereignty.

Makes you wonder what Vance will say if Trump orders a US military attack on Venezuela

A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.
Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

advice to zoomers if somehow there is a zoomer reading this remains the same. the past was not as nice as the people around you remember. the height of times are not as bad as you think. the future will not be as dismal as you anticipate. 18 per cent to diversified equities in a tax sheltered acct

A constant churn of purging and back-stabbing within the ranks of the fascists is to be expected. Even violence. Hell, until I read that Politico article I almost forgot that Musk had a literal black eye on the day he was forced out.

Some outlets are reporting that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore. But the fine print on that overturns the whole story: DOGE is just dropping its tarnished brand, not the chainsaw. 🧵

Pretty weird how England and Wales went from allow single-stair double-loaded corridor buildings (11 units per floor??), with no height limit on single-stair generally, to the second-strictest strictest single-stair rules in Europe, with no stop anywhere along the way divisare.com/projects/442...

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America.

Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

What’s depressing isn’t the higher levels of federal expenditures & DOGE’s failure—it’s that the feds replaced expenditures on foreign assistance, research & the environment with spending on ICE personnel & national guard deployments.
Meanwhile, the rich got tax cuts so the deficit worsened.

Also, stop it with this BS. Biden correctly said the economy in 2024 was good, because it was. Yes, no one believed it. That wasn't his fault.

Slotkin: "He's trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, the Epstein files and economy. He's tweeting 'the economy is the best it's ever been' -- amazing considering the public isn't stupid. It reminded me of Joe Biden. Biden tried to tell us for a year that the economy was great."

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

So funny how we did all the "who's really in charge?" discourse under Biden even though it was pretty clear he was personally invested in some of his administration's least-popular actions, whereas Trump is just totally MIA on matters of great importance.
State Dept. Spokesperson now refuting GOP and Dem senators’ account of their joint briefing from Rubio - and claiming the 28 point plan IS authored by the US.
Hard to believe several senators would have fundamentally misunderstood what Rubio told them.
Breathtakingly dysfunctional government.

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess
