For most of my life, the Nuggets have been brutal to root for — always rebuilding with just short spurts of fun. And now this. NBA Finals. With a two-time MVP, Jamal freaking Murray, AG, KCP, and MPJ. I love THIS team.

How does the state know who I voted for? What about my rights under § 22 of Article I of the Alaska Constitution? First amendment of the U.S. Constitution?

The US government's 9% stake in Intel technically isn't controlling.

D+14 MN is entirely consistent with a D+9ish national result, is the thing.

The 2024 Selzer D+3 Iowa, if taken literally, implied roughly a D+15 national result in 2024. That made it a total outlier, polls generally had Harris leading nationally by 0-3.

“The Americans at the dinner included former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland…”

Wait, what?

1. Mary Peltola calls people faggot, I'm for her.
2. Every candidate I voted for from 2004-2014 wanted to make my family illegal. (And 16/20 too if you count past positions)
3. Mike Rogers is running the most bigoted campaign in the country.
4. Please stop.

Mass deportation isn't just. It isn’t a triumph of the rule of law. It’s a product of Trump’s own hatreds and bigotries.

After pledging to deport the “worst of the worst,” he has decided to pursue otherwise law-abiding residents for deportation, even residents with American families. He has decided to detain people who are eligible for bonds. Again, that is not what the law requires. It is what Trump demands. https://t.co/iL8aPvyfTb

The effective tariff rate for a guitar tuner from Germany appears to be ~15%, which is a combination of a low legislated (MFN) tariff - ~5% - and a new Trump tariff of 10%.

Pre-Trump, this would have been duty-free (0%), bc it's a small, personal ("de minimis") shipment.

The Alaska stupidity reminded me that this is always on my California ballot. Nobody's ever thought he was the actual Barack Obama, though.

We have reached the “actually, the clean energy industry is bad” phase of the Ouroboros cycle.

This model of advocacy cannot take a win, it has to always be fighting—in this case, against the Senate’s foremost climate champion, Sheldon Whitehouse—otherwise it would case to exist.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

If Mike Rogers was running an independent "truecon" campaign to check Trump's rampant corruption, oppose the indefinite detention of legal residents, investigate the weaponization of the DOJ, cut the deficit, and support Ukraine maybe the cons would have a point about me! But he's not, he's running as an overtly racist Trump fluffer. I'm Never Trump and Never Trump fluffers from day 1. Hope that clears things up @nachamasol !

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

These people wanna fight with a straw man version of me from 2017. I was upset about Trump not esoteric "principles." I backed plenty of politicians whose principles were suspect! Trump is ruining the country now and must be checked. My TDS is consistent!

The original conceit of "Libs of TikTok" was that she was a normie stand-in just reposting lefty excesses and boy did that ship sail a long time ago

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Letting people with severe mental illness and addiction rot and die on the street and completely dominate the public realm is not a progressive ideal. The families that rely on transit, libraries, parks and streets deserve safe, clean, comfortable, corpse free spaces.

@NickKosmider And the contact earlier was before the pass was thrown, so it would have been illegal conduct, not PI. League just needs to acknowledge they blew that call.

[dingerc.bsky.social @dingerc]

@NickKosmider Too bad the video shows the flag coming at the catch point and if it was the earlier contact they badly mismarked the spot of the foul.

I don't understand the point of this question. If the GOP loses the House, Mike Johnson will not be Speaker when it comes time to seat House members for the new Congress. He'll have no power to not seat anyone.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

So when you said “growing up going to cheesecake factories it was a luxury” you meant “when i was a freshman in college at the most expensive university in the country it was a luxury.” Got it thanks for clearing that up!
