My personality is that I know things.
If it's the latter, it's not necessarily a happy childhood. The characters experience poverty, abuse and violence. At that age you and your friends can create a fantasy world that helps you deal with trauma and I think that is what is appealing to so many people.

It'll remain relatively easy to vote in Asheville, Aspen and Eau Clare with or without mail-in voting. But you live in a more rural area and have to drive an hour just to vote. Maybe the weather is bad.

Whoops for GOP, rural voters actually rely on mail-in voting and mail-in voting increases rural voter turnout. Sucks for GOP incumbents in swingy districts with large urban/rural divides: NC-11, CO-3, WI-3, etc.

That's how I read it! Yeah the DPL system is really wonderful.

Not Nevis! The birthplace of Alexander Hamiltion who created the first national bank in the US and a strong US government. He would be aghast that this would be happening.

I also think regulating private equity from buying up housing would help immensely. www.npr.org/sections/pla...
Here's what happens when private equity buys homes in your neighborhood
What makes rents go down and neighborhood diversity go up? Corporate landlords. But they also make it harder to own for yourself.

They did have some great names though: Homer Capehart, Spessard Holland, Leverett Saltonstall, Champan Revercomb. Classic names! Probably all racists!

And of course Vance is wrong. Pretty much every economic analysis concludes that immigration positively contributes to America in almost every metric. www.epi.org/publication/...

It also has the word "FAITHFULLY" right there. "In a matter true to the facts of the orginal."

And if the FTC members are "overreaching" in a way that congress doesn't like, it can change the law organizing the FTC at any time.

And rank hypocrites. They invent a "major questions" doctrine saying the executive can't invent rules/laws Congress didn't specifically enumerate but only for Democrat presidents. For Trump, actually the executive can completely trash the way Congress specifcally organized the FTC by law.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover but you sometimes can by its title. The fact that this is called "American Canto" is all you need to know.

LOL noted Biden hater Henry Cueller who endorsed Biden in 2020 AND Harris in 2024. Yes he criticized the border policy a bit being a border representative but let's not pretend he didn't support Biden..he voted the Biden policy line 96% of the time.

Tennessee 7 is going to come to turnout. In 2024, the Democrat won 122,000+ votes which actually would have been enough to win the 2022 midterm that Green won with 108,000 votes. There are enough Democrat voters if they come out and Rs stay home.

Those green beans and baby carrots look awful. What did she do? Just boil them and plop em in a bowl? Roasting is really the only way to go...some balsamic glaze, maybe some honey with sliced almonds or crushed pecans or garlic and parmesan. Endless possibilities all more flavorful than that....

Airplane! is the superior ZAZ comedy for sure. And I like Waiting for Guffman, but to me Best of Show is the superior Christopher Guest mockumentary, definitely funnier.

The crazy thing is the Dems gained 41 house seats in 2018 +8.6D with an 241-199R house. Now the house is 219-214. If we gain similar it would be 260. That would be the biggest House majority by either party since 1989.

It would have to be the older one (pre-gerrymander). The candidates have to declare in two weeks.

I think Monica de La Cruz and Tony Gonzales are in trouble now. They might have been anyway but they are +7 R districts for a year that Trump did very well with Hispanic voters. But they have swinged back hard to Democrats.

This is why you don't remove the leverage. MTG and some swing-district Rs were starting to crumble on the ACA subisides. This is why you negotiate from a position of strength. I really think the Dems could have gotten ACA subsidies if they just held on a bit longer.
