From JD Vance's Senate campaign website. Up as late as yesterday. Since removed.

I do not want to say you cannot say you are on the left if you oppose *any* labor action (e.g. cops doing unannounced work slowdowns are bad) but you gotta have a better reason than "management says these jobs arent necessary anymore and these guys are already paid a lot!"

It's ok to think "hey it's more important to me that our ports be efficient in some abstract sense I assume automation will bring than to stand in solidarity with port workers on strike." This opinion is available to many ideologies Just not okay to think this and also say you're on the left!

and there it is. Trump's mass deportation will include legal immigrants.

I gotta say, modern traditional publishing boiling down to “hope someone takes it viral on TikTok” or “immediately fades into obscurity” makes it difficult to find the energy/motivation to work on a debut novel that’s as likely to tank your career as launch it into something sustainable.

just as a matter of self-interest it completely baffles me that so many very rich people support a presidential campaign that is promising to immediately torpedo the American economy and massively spike inflation. It's hard to come up with more thoughtful explanations than "they're dumb as rocks"

Holy crap. This is wild. We were tracking that dark money spend because it went from $10M to $25M per WEEK in October of 22. Just a completely insane amount of money. It probably singlehandedly kept them the House. And it was fucking Elon the whole time.

The reaction of Fox News, congressional Republicans, WH staff, his security detail, and basically anyone with Mark Meadows’s number about having Trump get them to retreat shows that they all knew that it was wrong in real time. All of this denial after the fact is criminal.

The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
