I want this energy in the White House

Usually Dems pick a guy who brags about how much he got done by reaching across the aisle and working with Republicans. As I understand the story, Walz's brag is that he came in with a one-vote legislative majority and got a lot done. Big difference

This is very funny. But also! It highlights a thing about Minnesota politics, which is that alignments are tricky. Outdoorsy sport people are often environmentalists, including those involved in fishing/hunting, which you don’t see in all states. I lived in Oregon, too, and it was the same.

Post of the hour.

The super powerful hunting/conservation combo is a fascinating thing to study if you’re an east coast person who hasn’t encountered it (as I hadn’t until I moved there).

The Olympics coverage is showing grainy, sepia-toned footage of a 20-year-old gymnast’s childhood and it’s like come on you didn’t have to add those effects. We know that video came from an iPhone 4.

We absolutely need a president that is downright hostile to M&A. Acquisitions are how private equity ends up buying every good thing and shitting on it. Mergers are how we end up with three huge businesses running everything. It's why all our media is owned by billionaires.

"It is an editorial choice to center the stories about Biden almost entirely on the (agreed: abysmal) 90-minute debate rather than the record of an exceptionally effective administration with solid accomplishments from foreign policy to the economy to climate and the environment."

Trump losing 17% of the vote in a closed swing-state primary to a candidate who dropped out months ago should lead to a lotta commentary about his weakness. It won’t, because the press is obsessed with Trumpers sticking with Trump regardless, but it should.

The day after the Kent State shootings in 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58 percent of respondents placed blame for the students' deaths on the protesters, while just 11 percent blamed the National Guardsmen who shot them.

Not gonna lie, I feel kind of stupid only just now realizing that the unquestioned historical legacy of Kent State I grew up knowing had to have taken a decade to solidify and that at the time most people, or at least most of the establishment, probably thought those little bastards had it coming

I know it's hard to believe, but this is not the stupidest bill passed by the Tennessee Legislature this spring. That honor likely belongs to the "vaccinated lettuce" ban that awaits the governor's signature or veto.

UPDATE: Tennessee GOP Gov. Bill Lee has signed SB 2691, which bans the "intentional release of chemicals into the air." The new law — which takes effect on July 1, 2024 — is based on claims about so-called "chemtrails" made by fringe conspiracy theorists.

Why Are GOP State Lawmakers Introducing Bills Based on Claims by Fringe Conspiracy Theorists?www.radicalreports.org For years, conspiracy theorists made wild claims about 'chemtrails,' 5G WIFI, and geoengineering. Now, GOP lawmakers in several states have introduced bills based on claims by conspiracy theorists.

‘Vaccine lettuce’ bill, aiming to classify food containing a vaccine as a drug, passes in Tennesseewww.wsmv.com “House Bill 1894 merely would require any food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material would have to be classified as a drug and labeled as such.
