I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.
I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

How is it possible that Hasan manages to make Crenshaw sympathetic? Sometimes shouting somebody down is, I dunno...not the best approach.
I wanted to hear Crenshaw's justification, and THEN refute it.

"Let me say it slowly... you say he broke the law. The White House says he didn't. Check with the White House on talking points before you come on TV."
I explained to GOP Congressman Dan Crenshaw why he's wrong about the detention of Mahmoud Khalil.

I believe the Retro Encabulator represents the zenith of American technical leadership, only surpassed at the margins by Rockwell Automation's later enhancement adding the half-gap binder to the jamwheel bypass.

This really isn't that complicated.
Step 1: double prices
Step 2: bring prices back to normal

I've been an active investor in the market for decades. This pattern seems pretty new:
Market tanks on open
Regains almost all losses
Repeats the next day
Over and over again. Seems maybe like somebody forcing a dip then buying on it?

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Sounds like it's time for Aiyuk to demand a renegotiation of last year's contract based on his OUTSTANDING contributions. 🙄
The Rams have extended WR Tutu Atwell to a one-year, $10 million deal, per source.

Democrats should
* Boycott the SOTU
* Hold the response on the Capitol steps with every D member of the House and Senate
* Have several speakers, including the obvious ones - and a governor or two

How oligarchy takes hold (a very brief thread).
In 2018 Michael Lewis (the same guy who wrote Moneyball and The Big Short) wrote The Fifth Risk. As with his other books, this was a well-researched narrative.
One illustration in the book regarded NOAA, and how it was lead under Trump I.

Pass laws that empower state government to manage the distribution of withholdings.
Make a commitment to make whole any shortfall stemming from the federal government illegally withholding money earmarked for the state.
