Also, please let Steve Hayes know, in case he doesn’t, that last week Ice T just released his first new rap album in 20 years, having spent most of the past 2 decades acting and performing in his metal band, Body Count.

Hearing @JonahDispatch state on the most recent Dispatch roundtable podcast that he is pro-Billy Joel but isn’t into Springsteen has cemented him in my esteem for the rest of time, whether recorded or unrecorded.

@MatthewShea__@JoshKraushaar He’d better hope they know who they are because I unequivocally guarantee he doesn’t know at the moment.
He’ll know when someone convinces him it’s advantageous to turn on someone. When the Dow drops too much in one day. On a whim.
But knowing in advance? Not happening.
Watching the @GPerfPBS recording of Suffs on YouTube, leading to this:
Dear @JonahDispatch -
Woodrow Wilson *cue Uruk-hai sounder* makes a better musical theatre antagonist than I ever imagined.
I’d love to hear you (as an ally) and @whignewtons discuss this sometime.
Dear @Zigmanfreud -
I take no comfort in knowing that even if you were to audibly narrate the rope swing tweet, the same people attempting to drag you in their replies still wouldn’t perceive the delightful irony of your presentation.
…is patently un-American and flies in the face of a (mostly) market economy.
Enjoy the dunking, sure. But always remember that WORDS 👏🏻 MEAN 👏🏻THINGS 👏🏻 DAMMIT 👏🏻

Everyone is dunking on Khanna’s double-standard regarding the wealth currently held by him and his family. Fair. And fun.
I want to focus on his opening clause and the idea of wealth being easier to build than it is to retain.
I could ruminate for way too long about this..

I want America to be a country where it's easier to build wealth than it is to hoard it, and where workers don't have to worry about medical debt and grocery costs when they should be enjoying time with their families. An economy that works for everyone is possible.
The people making the laws about wealth retention will make it easy for themselves and their associates to keep wealth while making it as hard as possible for opponents to do so.
Wealth opposition is just as tribal as political opposition is, if not more. And Ro’s premise… 3/4
@mtracey@JustinRYoung Firstly, congratulations to the newlyweds!
Secondly, looks like Liz took a literal approach toward “find a man who loves you as much as Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta” from back in the day 🤣
@JonahDispatch Having previously owned a dachshund, the perfecting detail is the obstinance of the dog in the clip in not knocking over the last cone. Predictability was bred out of them centuries ago.
