If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.
Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

The Republicans really haven’t given healthcare policy even a few moments of thought. Every idea is just “take what insurance already is and make it less.”
Marshall on the GOP healthcare plan: "The other thing I would do is establish an invisible high-risk insurance pool, a reinsurance pool. And when people reach a certain amount of spending, say for cancer, they would go into this reinsurance pool & that protects everybody from a preexisting issue"

Like QAnon, the election denial movement cannot exist if it ever finds the smoking gun of the 2020 election. Therefore, the evidence must always be just over the horizon — a movement that feeds off itself to live.
Trump: "It was a rigged election. It's gonna come out over the next couple months too, loud and clear. Because we have all the information."

For years I've been meaning to write something about how the original sin of economics was defining utility in $ values, because it makes people think that everything can and should be financialized and it's all equal in the end.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
