Ah yeah, this was why there was the "Don't Rank Cuomo" campaign during the NYC mayoral primary.

I'm going to keep tapping this sign because it looks like this headline is not an accurate framing of what's happening.

This is workable in a state with 5, maybe 9 congressional seats, it's not really workable in a state with more, definitely not in California with 52.

Point being that nuclear weapons are not actually that complicated to build, although a good thermonuclear weapons (and miniaturized to fit in a delivery system) does pose more of an engineering challenge

It’s getting the plutonium that’s the tricky part

DC's do cause some issues for the power grid. The massive, probably excessive build out of DC's driven by Crypto and AI has offset some of the gains we've made in greening the grid by driving extending the lives of old fossil power plants and construction of new ones. But AI is not a water issue.

Maybe we'll see Osborne or some others successfully win independent runs next year, but the essential change from last year that would have to happen is a critical mass of people being sick of what the GOP congressional majority has done.

We apparently have boosted the Constitution party before, but the Libertarians are riskier to support because some of that could come from us because Republican voters are generally more serious about the balance of partisan control.

What does it stand on issues besides unions? More with the Democrats, or the GOP? If there's any doubt about the latter, voters are going to vote for GOP control. You can take a shot at it but it but there are serious hurdles.
