So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Right?????
René, we all saw the last performances from him, where tf you been

the governor said more or less directly "we didn't ask for this and we're not going to make our taxpayers pay for hosting it" which i think is a perfectly reasonable take?
Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”
This is NUTS

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
"Good policies aren't good politics unless you take credit constantly for them."
Put it on a fkn T-shirt. Yes.
Critically important.
we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it"
both parts are important!

The doctor might have lost me with this one. Been trying to highlight the positives but this is... Woof.
Peglow for sure. Kurokawa was frustrated with him for not tracking back.

I think we missed Rowles to start with, as Anderson covered last week. Then Nealis goes out. Then the humidity, plus chasing the game for 90+ without a goal to rally around... Defensive collapse.
Man, the foul to set up the free kick they turned into the second goal was soft as hell. Ref is giving them soft ones, won't call it both ways
Right
Thousands of GSA employees lost their jobs during last year's DOGE rampage. Now (surprise!) the agency is on a hiring spree. from @leahfeiger.bsky.social and @zoeschiffer.bsky.social
This means that the right wing basically has a way of submitting unsworn, unvetted amicus briefs directly to a member of SCOTUS, unlimited in quantity and content.
How—sincerely—can you regulate that sort of vector for propaganda?
Alito is cooked, obv, but I mean more generally.
My guy KK getting the spotlight!! Love his game, can't wait to see him in action
Footnote 19 is also very 🤌🤌
The moral rot of sowing death and reaping money is rightly the main story here, but man, when BlackRock has stronger regulatory compliance than the Department of War...

I mean, hell yeah. Exactly the archetype. But I don't think he's gettable. Cult hero at América. Coach says he's one of the 3 best players in the league. América one of the best teams in the region. What could we possibly tempt him with?
It's one of the things I love about Diego Luna. I love his game. Paredes used to give us some of that, too.
Just his stance alone was electric. About to stand on the gas pedal, killer instinct just radiating off him. We were playing fearless for a few moments there. Blood in the water.
