He’s playing a character for his dating site promo, not admitting to actually doing this. Still - he’s signaling that this is the kind of person he wants on his right wing dating site. Gross.

It appears not many people have watched the recent Jon Oliver on Project 2025. The guy is doing a promo playing a character for his dumb dating site. It’s so bad. But he’s not admitting to giving unhoused people counterfeit money.

It is. He is doing a promo for his stupid dating site, playing a character. Which is insane. But he’s not admitting to giving unhoused people counterfeit money. Watch the John Oliver on Project 2025, which profiles his dating site.

Looking for one person to join me today in donating to flipping both statehouses in Arizona to create a new trifecta for democracy. This is the smartest political donation we can make this year.

Proportion of sway-able voters much less given the present level of polarization + candidate familiarity.

It's definitely not. It's poking fun at the bros doing all kinds of "masculine" stuff to control their own lives - eating raw meat, dopamine detox, whatever the influencer grifters are peddling to lonely dudes.

This is like one of maybe a dozen super concrete things I remember learning in undergrad in 2008. American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.

Yes. This is also what building people power and community organizing is built on. Incremental campaign wins that gradually builds the collective power of a group to achieve something greater - distinct from a policy position or process, but the same principle holds in both.

Of course, that's just taking him at his word. Which is bad! The much more realistic read is that he seems like an aggrieved right wing media brained guy and so when his wife flew the things he said "screw it, own the libs." Even worse!

It seems that if - as Alito has claimed - his wife is so influential so as to refuse removing two (!) stop the steal flags even though their presence threatens her husbands standing on the court, then her election denialism beliefs surely must hold some influence within their household.

and many industries DID oppose it. The smart thing about the IRA is that it offers important incentives for carbon-based industries to transition to wind, solar, and other forms of non-carbon emitting energy.

Lol it is binding insofar as legislation can be. It's a piece of national legislation that requires implementation and has a budget attached to it. Independent groups project that implementation will reduce greenhouse gas by 42%. rhg.com/research/tak...

What's your affirmative argument that the IRA is not a significant, progressive piece of climate legislation?

And if you think the Paris Climate Agreement amounted to nothing, I would suggest doing some reading to learn how it's profoundly shaped national legislation and policymaking.

It's both a target and projection. Any bill that's passed requires implementation. So literally any piece of legislation - especially those that require a long-time horizon - will have both. And if the next admin is Republican, implementation will grind to a halt.

It will cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 through a mix of incentives to individuals and companies to decarbonized, and planned infrastructure to support an energy transition.

IRA is the single most significant piece of national climate legislation maybe anywhere, ever. So yeah, that matters to my life.

I actually think this is very little about economics and much more about social dislocation. People just lived through an upending global crisis and then the world seemingly went back to normal. But, people still feel just ... off. And that's showing up in economic sentiment.

If the presence of outside protestors at colleges is of particular concern to you, the right ask is that university presidents don't give visibility to the protests by asking for a police response. This is basic stuff. The administrators are blowing it.

I mean, maybe just don't do it for three (!) hours a day. Almost never see the debate three hrs vs. no time, typically more like one hour vs. no time.

This is right. And it’s why people who called for a ceasefire early after Oct. 7 weren’t being naive, they were being pragmatic.

Have you watched Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland? PBS docuseries. It’s incredible. And almost perfectly showcases the point you’re making.

Second term will be top to bottom enablers, far less willing to speak out. Because, hey, the coup attempt happened. Can't get worse than that. And as been well reported, many within government will now be fully on board with the complete agenda.

One thing that's not getting enough play: His enablers have already crossed the Rubicon after Jan. 6. The coup attempt happened. They forgave him (in words or deeds, or both). Everything from here on out is a shoulder shrug, at best. That's markedly different from Trump's first term.

Gotta question your colleagues for Beekman to slip so low to 47 if you had him at 9. Meant he was lower than 47 for some?! 47 is insane based on all available metrics. He was borderline first round NBA draft, this year! Already!
