Reesearcher. Sometimes I publish things. Look at fast food, you see burgers. Look through fast food, you see the world.

FYI I’m doing the Blue Sky thing now if you’re into that. Perhaps for a shining moment we can rock out there before Meta acquires it. https://t.co/aXtBthvfDz

@maddog301 @meagankday @econhardship They were working. They were working as mothers and caretakers. Or does the party of family values not give a shit about that sort of thing? Or, lemme guess … you’re an independent thinker, not beholden to any party.

Here's me explaining how Clinton's welfare reform helped fast food companies keep labor costs down and invest in expansion instead

Shout out to fast food industry journalist @acpark1, whose work for @econhardship formed the basis of this one!

@noporkestra @meagankday @econhardship Sure is! https://t.co/wAaDexnnHC

Uber + X + Ted Cruz = some Bari Weiss DC cringefest ... cannot wait to see more of this schlock over the next four years

.@JakeMGrumbach and I would like to draw your attention to the involvement of far right and conservative think tanks in developing Trump's Africa agenda https://t.co/wMhBmnaewv (via @africasacountry)

Check out this @Ipsos poll from last month. People who answered factual questions about inflation, crime, and immigration incorrectly were "more likely to opt for Trump," Ipsos said, while those who answered correctly preferred Harris. https://t.co/eHzrIb0TLi

Does the VP matter? Does “the economy” matter? I mean seriously what the fuck matters?

[Alex Park @acpark1]

Gosh what’s that look like …

Honest question: do elections have anything to do with campaigns any more?

[Alex Park @acpark1]

Lindsey Graham doesn’t have any Democratic friends. So of course we get to kick things off with a lie.

[Alex Park @acpark1]

Fuck you.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

To my Democratic friends: Take a deep breath. The sun will rise. The world will turn and despite what Oprah says, we will have another election.

To my Republican friends and colleagues: Get ready to govern and turn the country around.

Budget reconciliation, here we come.

Pudzer withdrew his candidacy last time because he didn’t have the votes in the senate. The guy talked about making fast food entirely roboticized as if it were a personal mission.

[Alex Park @acpark1]

Trump is reportedly considering bringing fast food mogul Andrew Puzder on as labor secretary, if elected.
