Kevin Owens’ response to CM Punk telling him he knocked down all his merch off a table when he walked by:
“I was doing you a favor. You hate t-shirts, don’t you?”

It’s actually not that surprising centrists don’t like sitting down and having to defend their positions.
I really do find the whole “let’s have a sit down intra-factional debate” thing sorta unproductive usually because it pits figures who really have no interest in learning from a respective faction against each other.
It’s particularly frustrating amongst the Democratic coalition because no faction is remotely big enough to win an election.
There is no “winning” in this debate. There is only coexistence.
Yglesias Abundance politics would’ve advised Dems to ignore ICE abuse and back data center expansion. Would’ve been catastrophic politically.

County Executive Sara Innamorato signed the Allegheny County Paid Parental Leave legislation.
The policy makes Allegheny County the first county in the nation to mandate the benefit in a state without a statewide requirement.
One of the things that made it progressive was the exemption which the mayor rolled over on and preemptively gave up despite strong opposition from council. It significantly raises taxes on small business.
Mike Driscoll’s bill fixing this deserves a hearing and vote.
An incredible illustration of what happens when centrists get out of their bubble.
The way @mehdirhasan just absolutely takes apart the bad faith arguments of Yglesias on every front one after another here I just really really wish that Mehdi knew more about teacher evaluation so he could back him into the same corner there!
