My EV runs on the sun (right now the electric company owes *ME* money for the production from my solar panels). That means if I need to run out for a box of nails or a gallon of milk neither MBS nor Putin get even a penny from me.

@mikespofford I swear, Mike, if they stink it up this week like they did last, I might just switch over to PSG - Marseille in the French soccer league. Getting tired of unrequited love after sixty plus years of faithful devotion.

I’m the Run Up today Astead Herndon interviewed this woman Rachelle, single mother of three, and I wish he would do an entire show on her. Only active in politics for 5 years and she’s got an amazing understanding of what’s happening. Truly an organic intellectual.

The days when the Republican Party stood for the free market are really and truly over, aren't they? From the offices of the Senate Minority Leader, threatening companies with government harassment due to business decisions they make.
This is a helpful list of brands who are begging to sit in front of a House panel next year to discuss their company’s participation in leftist corporate extortion. cnbctv18.com/technology/elon…
When I was unfairly terminated my union grieved all the way to arbitration and won me a five figure settlement that eased the sting of the loss.

It's kind of amazing how quickly twitter went downhill after Musk bought it. A lot of that is the exodus of people who hate him, but some of it too is just the quality of the conversations that remain.
We get a soft landing and GOP control of Congress, where they can destroy the economy by engaging in brinkmanship with the debt limit and subjecting the administration to onerous and crippling oversight.
Strong jobs report..lots of hiring, broad based, and wage growth is slowing slight. The Fed just might get us that soft landing
When I was in high school and a kid was skipping class the kids would say
He here but he ain’t here
when the teacher called the roll.
50 years later and I still remember that…
So for @elonmusk “freedom” means the freedom to misrepresent yourself for the low, low fee of eight bucks a month.
In war you dehumanize your enemy. How many of those 730 sons, brothers, husbands, fathers who died yesterday were conscripted into Putin’s brutal adventure, cannon fodder sent to the front to be killed?
Ukraine must be supported, but attitudes like Drutska’s make it hard.
Ukraine is strong. Ukraine is independent. Ukraine is free.
As the russian terrorists are learning, nothing they do can ever change that.
730 russian terrorists died yesterday.

Wisconsin is basically evenly split in statewide races for governor and US senate. But the GOP may potentially get a veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature out of those same elections.
And federal courts have ruled that Wisconsin's district maps are fair!
My son has gotten two mailings from @FairShareMA with his voting record over the last four elections. I'm not sure I understand the point. They make clear no one knows how you voted but there's a real Big Brother, we're watching kind of feel to it.
Intimidate into voting for us?
The Zionists are so intent on protecting their apartheid state they’re willing to unleash another Holocaust on the Jews.
Reminder that ADL spent more time criticizing this drawing than the organization directly funding antisemitic insurrectionists in America.

I bet Nash quit because he can’t stand working with Kyrie, and I wouldn’t blame him.
And could you imagine if the Nets bring in Udoka to replace him? I mean, would Silver even let that happen?
Sometime when the history of the collapse of US democracy is written some bright or maybe just lucky scholar is going to come across The Broken Branch by @NormOrnstein and Thomas Mann and say to themself "but these guys predicted the whole thing in advance!"
As Brazilians play the next round of "Will the defeated candidate accept his loss?" just sitting here wondering in how many races around this country next month we'll have the chance to play the same game.
Anywhere a MAGA loses, I bet.
Thing about Lula is that he has already defeated one dictatorship so I like his odds at being able to stave off another one.

NBC has a click-bait headline about a 3rd person in the Pelosi house the night of the attack, but in the video all you get is Chuck Todd asking Tom Winter about it and Winter saying yeah before changing the subject.
Winter's twitter is silent on the subject.
Bolsonaro is not terribly different from Trump. Why can’t folks in the US put together a similar pro-democracy coalition to halt the GOP’s authoritarian push?
