The fact that I can't tell whether this is genuinely our president or a hack is such a jarring, disorienting snapshot of our time. At some point, there aren't enough policy wins to make up for the degradation of what's acceptable; the president seems to be going mad before us.

If you saw a group of dudes like this grabbing a neighbor or family member and trying to throw them in the back of a black, tinted-window van, what would you do? If they came for you, what would you do?

@samstein I just never get tired of when he writes, “thank you for your attention to this matter.”

For the record, I think we’re all missing a great opportunity to brand these The Pedi-Files.

@JoshMalina But there’s sure to be some well paid lawyers in the wings.

We’ve made it to “I need a flashlight to take the dog for his morning walk“ season.

👓The speed at which you go from one cute pair of $40 readers to the cheap, Costco—pair in every room, pocket, car—quantity should be illegal.

@JoshMalina I put it on every couple months, when I need something normal and trustworthy … often in alignment to when I rewatch The West Wing.

Similarly, sometimes I skip the last 3/7ths.

I like gardening once a year, for about two hours. Then I’m done for another 360-ish days.

Had a great time talking about the Minnesota Pottery Festival on Twin Cities Live today with Ben Leber and guest host Cory Cove from Power Trip morning show on KFAN.

Festival: Saturday & Sunday, starts at 10am both days.

I think Trump’s approval rating is going to fall noticeably over the next couple of weeks.

Food inflation is completely out of control.

Household name companies are announcing that they are raising prices by +25% every other day.

Retailer price increases are front cover financial news every morning.

And these are all items that people buy weekly. So they will notice the price increases. It’s not like a car where you might not feel it if you hadn’t bought a car this year. You buy coffee and ground beef once per week.

Inflation is what buried Biden in 2022.

Inflation is what will bury Trump in 2025.

Bookmark it.

Extra special thanks to everyone in our Coyote community who was rooting for us; this still hardly seems real🥹

@ansonmount I want my :59 seconds back.

Sorry if you love spending time soaking sticks, and painstakenly putting together skewers, only to use a fork and push it all off. We don’t. So here’s a kabob-less kabob recipe. 🔥
