I think they want a CEO who will raid the SSA information systems

My experience over the past 69+ years is everybody says the hippies are wrong, but looking back, they were always right

Many people don't realize that the programs people are claiming are socialist and too far out there are actually New Deal and Great Society programs that were taken away because of relentless hammering by the right wing

I am old enough that I remember free college. It was one of the best upward mobility programs in the country.

Co-signing everything in these three points from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: www.offmessage.net/p/20-thought...

But insofar as Democrats approached the funding deadline without a plan, cobbled one together clumsily and late in the game, and entered the shutdown in a confused posture that they are unlikely to sustain, I have serious misgivings about the terms they set for the fight.

The confusion in their posture stems from the fact that the nature of public misgivings over the Trump regime stem from his dictatorial abuses, rather than quotidian policy disputes, but Democrats outsource their strategic thinking to pollsters and strategists who try to steer every crisis toward health care in knee-jerk fashion.

In short (and to repeat myself) as long as Democrats insist their bottom-line demand pertains to extraneous health-care subsidies, I suspect they will have a difficult time maintaining an upper-hand in the determinative battle for public opinion. And that risks squandering their latest and perhaps final opportunity to either pull the country back from the brink of constitutional collapse, or tacitly declare “no confidence” in the Trump regime.

People like Bob Casey won in spite of, and not because they are anti abortion. To Casey's credit he did change his position over the years

Le Guin is a rock star in my book, and not just because she was great at writing. She adamantly refused to bow to pressure from men with power in the industry when it was difficult to do so

In addition to being absolutely true "He lied. Gotta use the word" sounds exactly like Kai Ryssdal in my head

Generals know that they do not arrest civilian leaders. Good Generals will refuse to obey illegal or unconstitutional orders.
