If you've recently relocated to the blue place (or are considering it) and want to expedite the process of building up your list of follows, I made a thing to help with that:

@mr_notblah_ 8-4 will be a struggle for aggy this year.

@Tyler_A_Harper Every example I could find online of a met officer holding a firearm (e.g. see attached) had the trigger finger pointed forward, i.e. not on the trigger. So she def. goofed. That said, the level of outrage it's generating is almost certainly due to her being a Muslim woman.

@mattyglesias I don't think he actually believes that take is wrong.

@MarcALevin @cd_hooks I'm confused...

@realmattcarr @TerrenceHowse77 I've met multiple folks "in the wild" who are like this. Not full Webbon/Wolfe, but, for instance, being in full agreement with Bo French's comments from last month.

@kathyprojo There are two candidates vying for a judicial position this cycle in Texas who are both "K. Hawkins". Kristen vs. Kyle.

@rkaniuk1 @mjcontrera Arrested for what?

@johnarnold The data:

LASA: 1060 graduates, 124 NMSF, 117 NMSF/1k
St. Stephn's: 376 graduates, 27 NMSF, 72 NMSF/1k
Alpha: ~74 graduates, 2 NMSF, 27 NMSF/1k

[Jay Howard @jayphoward]

@johnarnold Data is scant on the size of Alpha's graduating class sizes, but I found a source that indicates "12" for 2024 and a current 9-12 enrollment of 150, which would predict (150/4) for 2026. Assuming a linear increase from 2024->2026, that yields an estimate of 74 total grads.

@LudwigNverMises If that were effective, why would GOP donors and voters not be doing the same thing?

[Jay Howard @jayphoward]

@gabriel_zucman @MeghnaWBUR Yes, you have the gist of it. Also the difficulty in dealing with (legal) evasion.

@Texas68Landon @HoustonChron Out of curiosity, how would you measure "failed" in this context? Like, something we could verify. Unemployment? GDP/capita growth? Stock market?

[Jay Howard @jayphoward]

@Texas68Landon @HoustonChron I took the meaning of Abbot's statement to be: if a Democrat wins statewide office in Texas then the U.S. is doomed, and sooner rather than later.

[Jay Howard @jayphoward]

@Texas68Landon @HoustonChron What did you mean, then? I took you to be saying that Abbot was not wrong when he said, "If we lose Texas, then there's no chance ever for the future of the United States".

@Texas68Landon @HoustonChron Wanna bet? If Talarico wins, I predict the United States will still exist (with its current 50 states) 20 years from now.
