its actually very funny that this dude immediately clocks the demeanor shift in Fuentes when the conversation comes to his thoughts on gay marriage/sex, as opposed to when he’s talking about the other facets of his bigotry

This is 100% what’s happening in Maryland, especially in the state house, where new press rules seem to appear out of thin air: https://t.co/bFjQK134j5

Lots of good reasons to have AVs in the District, and we support CM Allen's goal, but 200 drivers is clearly not right. It’s about 20x that: more than 4,000 drivers live in DC, making Uber/rideshare one of DC's top sources of work. Not to mention the hundreds of millions of dollars in driver take-home pay that goes back into the regional economy, including the District's.

If I get hit by a car (realistically) going 35 on a bike I’m likely dead, with or without helmet. Helmets are safer, sure. European countries don’t really wear helmets and way less people die, however.

The next Dem President needs to make Rohit Chopra the head of economic policy. He just gets stuff done nonstop.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

Ok, I stand corrected.

People fail to grasp the implications for the class system when wages go up 3% a year and assets go up 10% a year

Another dumb bitch I don't want to hear from ever again.

I’m anti-mamdani simply on the basis that he has zero clue how to wield power in the first place.

If you haven’t replaced every position with a loyalist, you’re just a placeholder for the next person who will.

[Hank Mardukus🖕 @BermudaTuba]

@ryangrim @MikenzieFrost great on you for the whole thing though

[Hank Mardukus🖕 @BermudaTuba]

@ryangrim @MikenzieFrost just one excellent question short of a real interview:

“Do you truly believe you had an expectation of a right to privacy and not being recorded at a publicly accessible press conference?”

Asking about two-party recording consent stopped just short of the real Q

Rep Andy Harris defends his viral exchange where he threatened to have a student journalist arrested at a press conference for taking video of him. Fox45 not having it.

like every finance reporter is trying to prove a cabal between private capital, data centers, life insurers, and rating agencies and this guy— whose marginal cost of capital is 20%— just says on the record in the FT it’s all true and it’s his business model:

[Stephen Neukam @stephen_neukam]

Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris freaked out about being recorded in a press scrum after his candidate forum last night on the Eastern Shore

After being asked about the Iran war, Harris demanded that a reporter be removed, calling on officers to interject. He erroneously invoked Maryland's two-party consent law, which holds that all parties to a private conversation generally must give permission before it may be recorded.

Harris’ argument happened in front of a crowd of other media, all recording with phones, cameras or audio devices. When multiple people chimed in to tell Harris that it was a public setting, he said, “Do you know the law?”

Harris insisted: "I know the law well."

He ended up leaving the presser

donald trump is the most successful new york republican since theodore roosevelt and he's basically killed off the new york republican party

Absolutely hilarious exchange here.

Bass: "When we're talking about influence, there are very influential people who are supporting your campaign, who are very very much advocates for bike lanes."

Raman: "Um...yes?"

I had to quit studying French after one semester. It's a beautiful language but their sayings and phrases are idiotic. "My uncle has a red car" "The mouse is faster than the large cat" who gives a shit

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

@SophieHaigney I got a dehumidifier for our library/guest room and that did the trick for all these concerns. Also, it’s fun to dump out the water it’s sucked from the air.
