If you describe what is occurring in the US as a “coup” or “fascism,” or refer to the elected government as a “regime” (left or right), I have deep contempt for you.
Your cosplaying as oppressed makes light of the suffering of those who have lived under actual authoritarianism.

karl rove helped turn texas red again after democrats destroyed the state for a century. trump junior helped turn texas blue.
Your occasional reminder that “RINO” now means believing in things Republicans have championed for 50+ years. Things that worked to make this country great (see what I did there?). Free markets, free trade, conservative values, love of country, and limited government just to start. Believing in these things make you a “RINO.”
To not be “RINO” you need to believe in right-wing socialism, regressive protectionism, and extreme executive authority, just to start.
Got it?
Finally got around to watching the Dune franchise and, other than thinking “this often makes no sense if you don’t know the books,” I was shocked by how openly it mocks Islam.

It’s tiresome enough they get all their news from steamers, it’s next-level asinine they can’t conceive of others not doing that.
Good for the soldier.
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

I hate this. You want to screw with an elected, cool.
Frontline staff answers the phones, helps constituents and provides government services. They don’t need someone with a camera telling them they are unemployed at what must be a crappy moment in their life.
Don’t be rude to them. Be rude to us.
A double coup for China: not only were they getting the technology, they’ve potentially kneecapped the leading US firm.
Of course, this is ultimately Huang’s fault.

I would like to thank the large number of people now following me on X money.
Also, I was not aware that I was on X money.

Here’s an interview my (late) grandfather did for #VeteransDay in 2018. Love and miss you Papa!

These states already have a model for how to transform their economies—it was provided by a number of southern and sunbelt states.
That they refuse to take it tells you a lot about what motivates them.
Michigan's next Democratic House Speaker Ranjeev Puri told me lagging household incomes and stagnant population growth require bold, transformational changes. Progressive advocates want the new Democratic trifecta to do just that. michiganchronicle.com/new-mi…
Legislation imposing a cap on card interest rates is just legislation banning credit to anyone with a FICO score below a certain amount.

You don’t love socialism. You love the version that was explained to you by someone who owns 4 houses and 3 yachts.

Republicans cannot exist as a competitive political party as long as they ignore cities. This means getting outside of their comfort zones in terms of removing DA’s who refuse to prosecute crime, investing in transit, urban beautification programs, etc.
It isn’t a failure of imagination but of desire.
Anyone who is modestly curious about the world or history can discover these things. But it is comforting not to.
