the fundamental rule of our era is that everything is political, except politics, which is entertainment

Cool new report from @CatoInstitute with an updated methodology on freedom for US states. Only two states get an overall "A" grade: Arizona and Montana (both gets A's in personal freedom, B's in econ freedom) Only governor with an "A" grade overall: @GovGianforte!

at a certain age people don’t even tell you “you should be a lawyer” they just say “you would do well in new york”

Chicago needs a budget that reflects the priorities of working families, not politics. We must #demandbetter.

About the only mayoral candidate with the beginnings of a plan is Quigley. And it is still only the beginnings of a plan.

it was an incredibly unsophisticated national suicide attempt which managed to not hit any vital organs (thus far) but nonetheless has done a ton of damage

America did not dodge a bullet. America was pretty squarely hit by a bullet which tanked global opinion and soft power, strained relationships with allies, delayed economic growth, punched science in the face, tore families apart, exacerbated wars and has fought against the buildout of renewables while simultaneously clawing away more land for oil. One can go on and on for hours. America was hit by the bullet, it just hasn’t died.

have to imagine dems are seeing the same/similar numbers but are far too traumatized and neurotic to treat them as true

The GOP - more than Dems, even - are behaving like they are seeing nightmare scenario numbers internally
