Possibly feeling indebted to her for voting (eventually) for SB 79.

Very poor rural women are not a terrible demo for Democrats. Trouble is, there aren't very many of them. Georgia is being won in the Atlanta suburbs, not the sticks, because that's where the people are. Outreach is good but let's not pretend 30 minutes to extract a "maybe" is a revolution.

Question is: what would EU “associate membership” accord which is different from the two major types of current EU associate agreements: “Stabilization and Association process” (SAp) and “Eastern Partnership-European Neighborhood Policy” (EaP-ENP)?

Big if true (and feasible)

one of my longer-term crackpot ideas is Cardi B running for office in the Bronx. given that she has consistently demonstrated genuine interest in history and policy I don't even think it's a particularly bad idea

221. Chief Justice Roberts and the Clean Power Plan Remarkable reporting from the New York Times provides a peek behind the curtain of the February 2016 rulings that ushered in the modern emergency docket. And what it reveals is pretty discouraging.

one really interesting detail that vladek highlights here is that the court, in creating the shadow docket, seems to have been motivated in part by rage at the epa's ability to create facts on the ground without asking the court first--in other words, their inability to set policy directly

Freedom is only a hop away. Can he make it?

They’re deservedly roasting you in the QTs

incredible exchange here, this website has the juice

Of late I've seen a lot of people insist that Nixon is perhaps the most complex and tragic of the modern Presidents, but I think the crown really does go to LBJ. The poor bastard destroyed his legacy and poisoned the liberal project for decades.

Infotech advances, throughout history, have allowed us to be progressively more like ourselves.

Companies whose leaders want to be better informed will be better informed. Ones with willfully self-deluding leaders are going to die.

Amazing how people who say they hate Christianity also hate being given a different perspective of Jesus.

Don’t do the supersessionist routine please. If for no other reason then I will start hauling out the Jewish minutia

There are three revolutionary areas of technology right now: biotech, energy tech, and AI.

You want a data center? It has to come with a conservative dummy’s idea of a corrupt union along with it. Make work jobs to the gills. All blinking lights must be watched by a minimum of two people 24-7, you know, for safety.

I want featherbedding as a term replaced by data-observer. Lard ‘em on up
