If your name is not Donald Trump or you're not a current member of the Republican party then you really shouldn't be taking credit for the GOP's midterm wipeout. No one has figured out how to beat national populism beyond letting it's own hubris run its course.
Three year old has been getting out of answering questions at school because the teacher thought his gibberish answers were Tamil. I've never been more proud of him. Poor guy is going to be crushed when he learns he's too white to try the 'no English' bit as an adult.

This is not the right time for war with Iran and we don't have the right leaders in place to execute it. Saying we should be friends with the Iranian government is equivalent to pro-Russia MAGA sentiment during the Ukraine war.
Rep. Adam Hamawy tells a seemingly incredulous CNN anchor that, when it comes to Iran, the United States is “making adversaries when we should be making friends.”

We can be friends with Iran when they stop trying to assassinate people on US soil. We can be friends with Iran when they stop coordinating terrorists attacks against our allies.

Everyday I come across urban planner-types talking about their grand visions for Los Angeles and I'm left wondering whether they've ever talked to someone from Los Angeles. Just focus on housing which is already difficult enough.

Funny reading what Bernie Sanders thought of the 1970s in real time when I'd broadly describe his political goals today as focused on returning to a 1970s economy. Cranks are going to crank.
Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'

An under-discussed well of support for Amendment 3 are people who had to memorize all 67 Florida counties in elementary school and thought that was way too many. Forty is much more manageable.
slight spoilers for something i'm working on but holy shit Florida is fucked
like a third of counties just don't have a residential property tax base anymore

The Fall of the Berlin Wall is the only historic event I'm sad I wasn't around to attend in person. Watching archival footage makes me tear up every time.

Chris Rufo praising Charlie Kirk for keeping the right focused on issues voters care about when Rufo spent the lead up to the mid-terms on the "Indian question" is too much for me today. Logging off.

Democrats doing poorly in Minnesota really drives home how much corruption played a role in this election. Corruption stories became background noise if you followed politics semi-regularly. The American people are still rightly outraged by the Trump admin stealing billions.

Ro Khanna running for president in 2028 is the only political development I'm eagerly anticipating though I suspect the reasons why I want to see Khanna run for president do not line up with people who actually want Khanna to become president.

Greedflation didn't work the first time it was argued and would be even more confused when argued while Donald Trump is still president. Trump would love blaming CEOs instead of his policies for driving up inflation.

Florida probably could have used the $1B Ron DeSantis wasted trying to capture performative anti-immigrant social media clicks with Alligator Alcatraz on public safety now that Ron DeSantis has successfully defunded the police with Amendment 3.

Downside of wave elections is they lift some boats that should have sunk. What Democrats have to figure out quickly is who in the party has the power to keep everyone in line for a chance at a 2009-2010 type majority after the 2028 elections.
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed confronted @jamesmatthewsky, telling him he wouldn't answer his questions as he wants "zero" votes in the UK.
Watch the heated exchange between the two.

I'm still worried about the schizophrenic nature of the American electorate, but that's buoyed by the prospect of defunding the poorly trained paramilitary groups that are currently harassing our cities.

This is a foolish position to take after tech companies lost the public on data centers. A lot of parents already want to burn the Chromebooks.
