Look, moots, I made a channel!
Presenting the first two episodes of my neoliberal Satantango, The Secret History of YIMBY.
Over the next, uh, twelve, I'll explain everything you need to know about housing, zoning, and political economy.

Kinda on the nose that a couple of the Democrats who didn't show up for the floor vote to keep or kill the Hegseth impeachment articles were at an event for a notorious AIPAC front org
AIPAC's super pac gave EDW millions to do their dirty work since AIPAC's brand is now toxic
This Hegseth vote opened at 5:30 pm. Some members have cited traffic produced by some incident near the Capitol as the reason they missed it, but @JulianAndreone was there at the time and saw nothing impeding traffic.
Interestingly, the PAC Elect Democratic Women (EDW) was having a “new member reception” from 4:30-6:30 pm.
If you followed the primaries closely, you know EDW’s offshoot, EDW Action Fund, served as one of the major pass-throughs for AIPAC money, so it’s a very important organization.
If you were at this reception and saw any truant members of Congress, signal is in bio for me and Julian.
I'm not going to pretend I don't have a first season sketched out already. We meet S1's main villain ("King Kleagle") in the post-credits sequence of the pilot, most of which Abdul spends beating up a network of chuds who are holding the local mayor (a drag queen) hostage
Seems like someone has the first half of Season One ready to go nitter.gq/minervas_muse/status/2…
My favorite episodes, in no particular order:
"Firing Line"-When one of Texas Democrat Rangers own is gunned down, Abdul will stop at nothing to bring the killers to justice
"Prophet"-Clarice must go undercover to investigate a cult that is harming LGBTQ+ youth

These stamps are really cool but inherently problematic. Since 1866, the Post Office has been legally barred from engraving the portrait or likeness of any living person on any postal currency
Woke 3 has LSAT-level memes and I am more here for it than anything anyone has ever been here for

made sure to tweet about it but couldn’t bother to get your members to show up for the vote. unbelievable
PETE HEGSETH OUT NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
11 house democrats were absent for this vote, and had they not been absent and voted with their caucus Pete Hegseth would have been impeached by the house.
In effect, both the Democrats and Republicans both protected Pete Hegseth. Procedure is weaponized by both sides.

Weird that no one is hitting Jeffries on his incompetency (at best) or willful and intentional capitulation (at worst) which led to Hegseth keeping his job instead of being shamed into resignation. Why is Jeffries worth defending if he isn't good at his job again?

These 11 House Democrats missed the vote that blocked Hegseth’s impeachment effort. Just seven voting against it would have defeated the motion:
Julia Brownley (CA)
Lou Correa (CA)
Laura Gillen (NY)
Steven Horsford (NV)
Jonathan Jackson (IL)
Nancy Pelosi (CA)
Brittany Pettersen (CO)
Melanie Stansbury (NM)
Haley Stevens (MI)
Marilyn Strickland (WA)
Frederica Wilson (FL)

65% of the people on this guy’s board of directors are Wall Street bankers, the rest are lobbyists and heirs and heiresses.
You can argue whether moderates or populists did better, but no one will argue America voted for Wall Street.
Are there sandwich shops in the Upper Midwest that feature something like "The Weck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" etc?

I've been seething about this all fucking day. If Jentleson said this within earshot of me I would literally beat him insensate before I asked if I was open enough to using violence to get what I want
Adam Jentleson on the Ezra Klein pod this morning listing ways dems can signal values that will appeal in a surprising way and he included: “being open to spanking.”

"I feel liberated," one top banker told the paper. "We can say 'Corporate Dem' without the fear of getting cancelled.… It's a new dawn."
Leaving aside the “Corporate Dem” slur, was Bernie Sanders the first Democratic (adjacent) candidate to use populist rhetoric in the modern era? No. Can you be labeled by the left an economic populist and still be a moderate? Yes. And is the left pretty much admitting that we’re all moderates now? Seems like it! 5/
