Now- where is the plan to stop this crap? It’s great to say I told you so, but now it’s time to educate the people of Missouri and stop this immediately

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

I can’t quote Yglesias directly because he has me blocked, but all of his opinions as a neoliberal progressive are worthless because of the simple fact that any additional revenue collected for Dem governance will be wasted or stolen. All of these guys have their little schemes for how they’d like more taxes added on here or there, but none of it matters because it will just be squandered. They know this, they know there’s nothing they can do about it, they know progressive technocracy is scam that is incapable of doing anything meaningful, and so they just ignore the facts and talk about how MOAR revenue is obligated. Dem policy and governance isn’t run by people like Yglesias, people like him actually have no say, he’s just trotted out to try to legitimize the enterprise to bien pensant midwits.

Okay.

We try not to use the word “hate” around my 5-yr-old, so I’ll say that I really really really don’t like this. And it’s very shitty.

You might think this is a funny troll job. You might think Cindy Hyde Smith was the worst senator in our history. You might think MAGA is cruel. Fine.

But many people in that office you walked into, whom you’re trying to “own”, are probably hard/dedicated workers making not that much money who come in every day and take calls from constituents in Mississippi. They listen to their problems and try to communicate solutions or act as a go-between for Mississippians and their elected Senator.

And all of them just lost their jobs.

So for clicks and likes you’re what…putting them on camera in an embarrassing way at probably one of the most difficult and vulnerable moments in their lives.

Cool. Hope you had fun.

And this is absolutely not a partisan post, I have no reason to defend Sen. Hyde Smith.

I was at USAID headquarters reporting the day DOGE announced their DC staff had to clear out their desks, and right wing trolls were there laughing, mocking dedicated public servants on their final day at work. It was disgusting, and I said as much as the time. To the trolls.

You can absolutely celebrate Scott Colom’s historic electoral win without sinking this low.

Have spoken with many people on the Right in the past week. A recurring theme: must reconstitute the party behind someone who can combine free-market economics, effective culture war, foreign policy realism, and hyper-competent administration. DeSantis frequently mentioned.

@christopherrufo @CliffordAsness The voters strongly repudiated tariffs last Tuesday and ranked them consistently among the top issues. Young people opposed tariffs 81% to 11%.

Why not start there?

People say things like, "Where will people go when America falls," THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE. Expats are allowed to live in abroad, in small numbers, and that could change overnight. Israel won't be safe if the Bolsheviks win here. Nowhere to run to. Time to get involved.

Thanks to @elonmusk & @SpaceX, the City of Memphis finished its Fiscal Year ahead of budget for the first time in a long time.

The City is tracking roughly $5.6 million ahead for the current year.

Memphis Mayor Paul Young said this week that SpaceX generated $54 million in taxes for the City and County this year.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was destroyed in March 2024. As of August 2026, MD was still *accepting bids* to complete demolition of the old bridge, with hopes of finishing demo this year. "REPAIR" is written & released four years bf one bridge is REPAIRED in MD. Projected reopening is 2030, but I'm sure that won't be done by then. ONE BRIDGE.

I want a leader who hates gangs as much as this man.

If you have a refrigerator with food, you are rich enough to be afraid of socialism.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

This debate has become so unhinged. There are real issues with affordability. But the idea that you need a net take-home pay of $50,000 a MONTH just to get by only makes sense if you're expecting a Manhattan brownstone. In the vast majority of the U.S., this isn't remotely true.

I’m trying to imagine having a kid who I thought would never say anything offensive. Thankfully, I’m quite confident that no child of mine will ever bring shame to my family in that way.

This is the Bring Back Loan Sharks Act

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

Mind-boggling that the courts have not struck this kind of law down.

To me, being free to dispose of property however you would like is core to the very concept of "ownership".

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

@stanfordNYC To me, the worst part is: "They get businesses. They get stores. They get loans."

Reflects a ~total misunderstanding of how the economy works and engenders self-defeating passivity.

No one gave those immigrant shop owners their stores - they made them!

Price controls on credit card interest rates are counterproductive because creditors won’t extend credit to high-risk borrowers unless they can charge more to offset the risk of default.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Woke never dies, it's a spiritual force, darkly demonic. At its strongest form, it's Bolshevikism and genocide. The left has told you what they want to do to your children. They don't have the power to do it. Yet.
