John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Until last month I had never seen an episode of ANY of the various Law & Order incarnations.

Now I am addicted to SVU.....

If *OBAMA*care premiums suddenly hit $1100 a month and the GOP goes all in on pinning it on a bill Biden passed there's no chance in hell you'll successfully pin it on Trump with the kind of voters you NEED to see what Trump is doing to them

It. Just. Won't. Happen.
Truth won't matter at that point

I could see that and wouldn't argue hard. But the '08 primary may have been the best ever in terms of strategy, tactics and execution and there essentially wasn't one in '12....so '12 starts out way behind.

Also, at the time I think the feeling was that any *white* Dem could win, but......

Of course every time I type this out loud I get 3-4 more block notifications from that Listification thingie.....lol

People do NOT want to hear that you can run a great campaign and still lose.

Yeah.

Personally I think she ran the second best (Obama '08 being #1 of course) campaign I've seen from either party since the 80's.

Just too damn many headwinds.

I mean, it seems to me that the sum total of what they ran on DID work....as attested by the clear differences between the places where they ran and everywhere else. How you tease out the efficacy of individual messages from that is beyond my pay grade.

Oops, sorry.

One of the drawbacks of non-linear TV is any mention at all risks spoiling people watching months after the fact

It's still worth watching - the HOW here is worth it!

I like Raskin, but that's just stupidly wrong.

The government being shutdown does not keep Congress out of session. If it did they could never pass a bill to re-open.

The choice to delay her swearing in is on Mike Johnson and hasn't got jack shit to do with the shutdown

@sarahtaber.bsky.social fyi, (because I can't dm you and I thought you should know).....I posted a screenshot of your excellent soybean/Civil War/cotton min thread in reply to a comment over at The Bad Place and..... it's getting a little bit of traction. Just thought you should know.

If they 'lose' the shutdown there will be MASSIVE increases in premiums for tens of millions in January and Dems will have forced GOP to very publicly and loudly OWN them

So, they either get some much needed policy wins and help millions of people or they get a big political win for midterms

His advice to people who want to keep affording their healthcare:

"Die, bitches!"

Remember when we thought this guy was a progressive? Damn we were stupid.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers:

38-54 (Quinnipiac)
39-60 (AP)
40-56 (Gallup)
41-58 (Reuters)
39-56 (Economist)

On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen:

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It.
As new national polls show Trump’s approval tanking, a leading analyst explains how the data shows that Trump is far more unpopular than is commonly acknowledged—and details why this matters for 2026.

Underreported story - just how GREAT it is to be a drug dealer, sex trafficker or money launderer when Trump has GUTTED federal law enforcement to round up innocent brown people at Home Depots....

I went to bed with it 3-3 well into the third so NATURALLY it ends with 54 points on the board.

Well, at least the bad guys lost.

It wasn't just Canada, btw. At it's peak around 1999-2000 Nortel was the #2 private employer (behind only IBM) here in the Research Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), NC

I remember an all-hands where Roth said he was going to put Cisco out of business. Didn't quite work out that way....
