In 1780, the large urban centers were populous states. The interests are same today except that is states with rural and suburban populations that aren’t dominated by inner cities tend to go one way. The southern states didn’t shift to the Rs until 1994 when…
why would they design the constitution biased against large urban centers, when they had already no power as of population compared to rural areas?

… Ds traded their working class and union voters for inner cities and government workers. Ds have the get out the vote advantage by appealing to inner cities. The advantage to Republicans in the Senate is not baked in stone.

The Democrats could change a few policies and reverse it. It’s weird that Democrats believe any place they don’t win is proof that the system is rigged against them. (More proof that Trump is a cultural Democrat)

Just remember: 1. Spending creates income. 2. Loans create deposits. 3. Taxes do not fund spending. 4. Government deficits create non-government financial surpluses. 5. Real resources, not money, constrain sovereign government spending.

There shld be a term in Political Science for the human inability to perceive OBSTACLES in politics as anything but INJUSTICES. The following are policies Democrats have recently jettisoned to appeal outside their urban base: Trans primacy Defunding police Right public camping …
The Constitution was not designed to be biased against large urban centers, that is a post hoc justification.

Tariffs tariffs and tariffs. Trump could fail in almost any way if he’d focused on abundances as he mostly did in the first term.
Trying to figure out which was Trump's 2.0 original sin that led to this disaster of a midterm election?

Now do Liz Cheney voting to impeach Donald Trump.
Let me explain just ONE of the things Haley Stevens messed up that could have long-term consequences. On Friday, I wrote a column arguing that red-state moderate Dems are the real story this cycle, & that Dems should nominate someone in '28 who carries this torch... (continued)

This is dishonest. Regarding the Temple Israel attack on March 13, Abdul El-Sayed said “Hurt people hurt people”. Your candidate is a seething Muslim Brotherhood comrade.
Here are 5 random examples of Abdul El-Sayed condemning anti-Semitism

Establishment Democrats discover what it’s like to be a Republican watching Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney (rightfully) denounce Trump.

Gaslighting. His supporters don’t believe what Yglesias is saying — except that he redefines anti-semitism to exclude most anti-semitism. If his supporters thought he honestly condemned antisemitism they’d complain a lot more.
It just is not true that El-Sayed has never condemned antisemitism. This is a lie.

At least this gain of function lab is in the middle of Siberia and not in one of the most densely and highly populated cities of the world. Is GoF testing still happening in Boston?

It really drives me crazy that after living through Covid and all the downstream problems of the attempted response we have done extremely little on prevention or preparedness. slowboring.com/p/hantavirus-…

🚨☣️BREAKING: Plague outbreak expands, Russia BSL-3 lab accident - FIVE hospitals now quarantined🚨☣️ The plague outbreak in Siberia, Russia has expanded w/5 hospitals now under QUARANTINE: Irkutsk Hospitals No. 1, No.3, No.10, Ivano-Matreninskaya Children's Hospital, and an unnamed maternity hospital (Lyudi Baikala news, Moscow Times). Quarantine is NOT voluntary. Even in the U.S., quarantine is among the most extraordinary measures gov't can impose on American citizens who haven't been convicted, or even accused, of committing a crime. Quarantine means being forcibly confined and medically examined by law. U.S. quarantine can be imposed on anyone infected by a legally quarantinable disease listed below (this can change). One should assume Russia's quarantine protocols are even more severe. As of 2026, under Executive Order 14047, legally quarantinable diseases in the U.S. are: ■ Plague ■ Smallpox ■ Viral hemorrhagic fevers ■ Cholera ■ Diphtheria ■ Yellow fever ■ Infectious tuberculosis ■ Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) ■ Flu that can cause a pandemic ■ Measles Photo: Russia’s RKhBZ defense troops perform nuclear, biological, and chemical defense training (w/permission from the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation) — from BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO by Annie Jacobsen (Dutton, 2026).

Many government assistance budgets assume many technically qualified people will not be able to navigate the system. I expect AI will cause breakages there as attorneys and cartels did with immigration.
There were a lot of things that only worked because there's a limit to the rate at which humans can operate. We're about to find out what all of them are, as they break.

Step 1: It’s not happening. Step 2: It’s happening but the other side does it (we know bcz they banned it) Step 3: It’s happening and it’s a good thing!

“Colonists” are subject to a foreign power. Israel is a refugee camp from a 2 millennia catastrophe — including refugees from the whole of the Middle East. A separate catastrophe occurred when Arabs refused share a nation that even INCLUDED Jews (let alone a state) and lost.

This will be viewed through a woke-race-culture-war framing but really it’s just that universities don’t take intellectual misconduct all that seriously anymore. It just stopped being treated as an unforgivable sin. White or black. From ChatGPT cheating to social science fraud.
It’s all too predictable.
