With how insanely right wing the (small) arizona Republican state leg majorities have turned out to be, Hobbs’ victory has turned out to be one of the most consequential of the 2022 elections. She is single-handedly stopping the state from becoming Florida 2.0
Daniel Vaughn, Texas Monthly’s barbecue editor since 2013, said part of the problem is that as brisket prices increased, barbecue restaurants kept their prices “artificially low.”
“Now the price of everything has gone up, everything they need to run that restaurant: labor costs, takeout containers, coleslaw and those other meat proteins. You can’t really hide that price anymore,” Vaughn said. Forty dollars for a pound of brisket “is now not a crazy number to see on a menu.”

El Tribunal Supremo anuló los aranceles de Trump. Esta semana la CBP abrió un portal online para que los importadores reclamen devoluciones.
¿Qué pasa con el consumidor que pagó precios inflados porque el importador trasladó el arancel al precio final? ¿Qué pasa con el que no pudo competir? ¿Qué pasa con el impacto en los precios de otros productos?

Team Rubio. Perennially underrated. Few teams have experienced as much adversity over the last few months. That won’t stop San Juan from being an absolutely electric atmosphere. They’ve never finished outside the top 6 in the Classic. They have the talent to keep that streak going this year.

DHS is rapidly moving forward with plans to wall off virtually every river access point to Big Bend National Park. This would effectively end all whitewater boating on this world-class stretch of the Rio Grande, killing the recreation economy and robbing this majesty from us all.
“If (Taylor Rehmet) were to lose by six points, that’d be worth talking about,” one political expert told me ahead of the race. “And if Rehmet were to win? You’d say, ‘Holy shit.’”
(Rehmet won by 14 points). #TarrantCounty
A 3-time Trump voter, she voted for the Democrat because she’s unhappy about low oil prices, not getting invited to the Venezuela summit, and the deportation raids on her workers.

It's surreal to me that this tweet is still up and so is Vance's retweet of it. This isn't what happened. Everyone knows this isn't what happened. But they can never, ever back down, even when they've falsely accused a dead man of attempted murder.
Indeed — the world made by nationalism ended all of this: Tbilisi was majority Armenian, Vilnius was majority Jewish and Polish, Baghdad was majority Jewish and Christian
