This is particularly ridiculous when 1)as a prominent reporter/podcaster with the Times these were basically the only topics Astead covered in 2024 (as part of a major drumbeat of coverage) and 2)he "mysteriously" lost interest in the subjects of presidential age and popularity in January 2025

Actually, it’s kind of diabolical the way they’ve defined “hoarding” as NOT acquiring new things.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

I think it most likely the Dim Philby leaks came from Russia. But if they came from Europe it’s a clever way to tell the US that Europe has started going it alone on intel.

Keep in mind one of most important points of leverage is intel sharing.

In people's eagerness to, rightly, condemn centuries of white abuse of indigenous Americans, they perpetuate the myth that America's national holiday is about Pilgrims.

No. Wrong. Thanksgiving commemorates Union victories over the Confederacy, as Lincoln intended.

Don't bury our history.
Because yes, Thanksgiving as a national holiday has to do with the Civil War and not the Puritans or previously proclaimed days of Thanksgiving (of which there were hundreds) - so be sure, as you gather about the table, to give thanks for the victories brought by Union arms at Vicksburg & Gettysburg
