Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

this is so pervasive among TERF women because their definition of womanhood fetishizes endurance of bodily suffering, and instead of looking deeply at how fucked up that is for THEM (and their daughters!) they act like it’s playing on Easy Mode for a trans woman not to have menstrual cramps

The *best*, most charitable reading of this I can see is she's telling Biden he needs to knock it out of the park at NATO and win over doubters or else. My first gut reading (NB: while still waking up) was she's giving herself and others permission to double down on pushing him out after it.

Reps. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush and AOC have all put out "Biden is the nominee, support him" statements. The left-most part of the Democratic Party fighting to keep him while the right-most part—centrists, swing district Reps, NeverTrumpers, etc.—push for him to drop out was not on many Bingo cards.

Biden: "I'm staying in." Pelosi: "Well, you just need to decide." Biden: "I have decided." Pelosi: "Okay, but you should figure it out soon." Biden: "I'm staying in!" Pelosi: "Whatever you choose is fine." Biden: "I'm in!" Pelosi: "We can talk about it after NATO."

so many things about the US government that are now treated as Inviolable Precedent are based on things like "this is a number I just pulled out of my ass" and have been modified repeatedly over time until one day people decided changing the number was too hard it doesn't have to stay that way!

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

Project 2025 is useful mostly in that a key problem Democratic campaigns have historically had is that when you tell people what Republicans actually want to do, they don’t believe you. The evil public list makes it a bit more concrete.

Well, well, well. WELL. That whole “protests made cops feel bad so they all quit” narrative? Looks like it was mostly myth. Excited to read this paper by Ben Grunwald, who compiled a huge dataset on post-2020 police employment. Agg decline was 1%… and bigger local declines not tied to protests.
