@PLFTX @KXAN_Weather I thought the same thing up here!

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

A government that can't count votes in a timely manner shouldn't be allowed to run so many aspects of our lives.

[Will Carty @carty]

@whignewtons Perfect. No notes.

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

Anyway, a Senate with Collins and Talarico is probably better than a Senate with Platner and Paxton, but we’re more likely to wind up with latter because we’re deeply unserious people.

The next time this admin lectures our European allies for falling short of our shared free speech values, I’d like them to explain this crap. https://t.co/y7iCPfsW7f

“The Substacker @AndyMasley points out that if the amount of water used by data centers triples by 2030, they still would require only 8 percent of the water it takes to maintain the nation’s golf courses.”

@PLFTX @PatrickSvitek Let’s go.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king.

If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule.

If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.

@mattyglesias Absolutely. And unironically, the stated hopes of both (all?) parties. Society-wide prosperity. Brought to you by capitalism. tbd…

@GamewithDave @daveanthony Why do you think they did it?

@MinEconomia_Ar @JMilei @grok can you translate the text from the picture to english?

This is a point I think people really need to get.

I remember when Condoleezza Rice withdrew from her planned commencement speech at Rutgers after protests over her role in the Iraq War. Fine. People were entitled to object to her record, of course.

But at the same time, there was about a 0% chance she was going to actually talk about politics. Don’t you think it would have been interesting to hear from someone who grew up as a little Black girl in segregated Birmingham, Alabama — and then went on to become secretary of freaking state?

I suspect she had some valuable and interesting things to say.

(And yes, that is a massive understatement.)

Incredible bit. Rory Mcilroy guessing the golfer by only looking at a swing silhouette. Even nails Lebron and Charles Barkley (lol).

Every sport needs to do have their top athletes do this challenge.

Robert Reich forgot the 6th and most common way:

6) Build something millions of people actually want

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

It is wild to see the ideological reversal associated with USPS.

Hundreds of green socialists crying "No, you have to let the capitalist megacorporations raze hundreds of millions of trees! You have to let the government force-feed consoooomer advertising to your family!"

[Will Carty @carty]

Abolish the @USPS

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

The U.S. Postal Service is going bust. Blame Congress. Mail volume is now down 49%, so another bailout isn’t the answer.

And 62 days after that, the Soviet Union gave up.

These were all released within 57 days of each other in 1991

it would take a fortnight to explain so never mind.
