Imagine if 9 puppies had to die for every 1 you adopted. And even then, your 1 puppy would be far more likely to die than if you'd left it alone. We'd never accept that.
NEW from me
90% of sloths captured in the wild for import will die before reaching the U.S. More die prematurely once here. There is no good reason to continue importing sloths.
Extremely grateful to @RepMaxwellFrost and @RepLaurelLee for introducing the SLOTHS Act!!

Nah.
You understand that the attack ad affirmatively took the side of an indicted sexual abuser, who fled the charges rather than face them, and you observe that Vivek is standing by the "really bad attack ad," making it a character flaw, not a mistake.
So you don't.

Your regular reminder that the NewsBusters guys define "conservatism" purely as being a loyal pro-Trump Republican. This piece on @Alyssafarah illustrates it perfectly. Not one example of her "abandoning her conservatism." Just complaints about her being insufficiently partisan.

The "conservative" co-host has been able to survive because she no longer pushes back.

Narrator's Voice: She was not in fact vindicated, and she is still ridiculed by mainstream economists.
At the height of the pandemic, @IsabellaMWeber was ridiculed by mainstream economists for arguing that corporate price hikes were driving inflation.
Since vindicated, she tells Jacobin how we can save democracy from the crisis of capitalism: jacobin.com/2026/10/weber-in…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Weber has not been vindicated. To the contrary, peer-reviewed empirical studies find no evidence for a rise in corporate markups during recent inflation phases

I just found out about recency bias.
Honestly, it may be the most important bias there has ever been.

This is just embarrassingly incompetent "economic" reasoning.
Tariffs affect a consumer surplus transfer to the beneficiary industry by specifically and intentionally raising prices. Wishcasting about some future price decrease in their wake is not a serious argument.
Tariffs of this sort don't aim at raising prices for their own sake, but on establishing incentives for investment in American industry which, once productive, has its own reasons to reduce prices. | @michaelbd

The only products that compete with each other in this post are Cholula and Frank's RedHot.
Both are already owned by McCormick.
The single example she gave of competing products being "controlled" by the same company after the merger... are already owned by the same company.
