Sometimes I think politics can’t get any dumber. But it always finds a way. Today is no exception.

@OneMileataTime Ben - not sure how to reach you. I have an interesting update on a benefit for Delta 360 members. If interested, let me know and I’ll share.

@JessicaBRiedl @PamelaFOlson Thx. I think any version of a vat has wild implications. But there is little doubt to me we are steaming in that direction every year we fail to actually get serious about the mismatch between spending and revenue.

@JessicaBRiedl How did Lincoln and Kennedy keep secret their access to AI?

[Immersive Jon Traub @jtraub2]

@JessicaBRiedl @PamelaFOlson Makes sense. What would the revenue be without a smorgasbord of exceptions?

@MikaelaShiffrin Your R&R is in a gym. You are built different than mere mortals.

@JessicaBRiedl @GS_Watson It finally drove me out of government, making it both a horrible experience and a great one.

But seriously, what an egregious missed opportunity.

@George_A_Callas There are known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. I think he would put his tax return into the third category.

I have unsubscribed from text messages from pretty much every campaign and candidate. But there is one I have unsubscribed from more than any other. How many times do I have to reply “stop” to end his desperate pleas about how he is down one point in (state)?

Posting for no reason at all:

Sometimes negotiations end and are over.

Sometimes both parties need to walk away for one reason or another before coming back to the table.

It’s impossible for an outsider to know which is which.

Deloitte is once again found to be a great company to work for. I don’t know any that are better, but admittedly my sample size is one. https://t.co/l71xSkbUx7

@danieldbunn @VolbeckWasRight Your best tax opinion ever.

@RichardRubinDC @jonallendc You probably added 10 years to your life by not watching. Thanks for making the coming entitlement crunch so much worse.

@RichardRubinDC @amoylan @grok The ai answer is outstanding. I finally found a use case for ai.

@RichardRubinDC @AlanMCole Hitting well above your career average this week

[Immersive Jon Traub @jtraub2]

@RichardRubinDC Many are good. Some are not. This, because its an IYKYK sort of pun, makes it especially good to me.

@amyewalter Voices Carry! Still an amazing song all these years later. (And yes I wondered the same thing)

@BrendanBuck It’s my new built in excuse for turning down social events.
