Well, that and Harris breaking from Biden on Palestine would have helped a lot.

The Harris campaign chose Walz and then didn't let Walz be Walz. They tried to turn him into Josh Shapiro. It was a giant strategic mistake.
If they had turned Tim loose with his Gen Z campaign sidekick Hope, the result would have been different.
After WWII, the United States and its allies tried really hard to establish a system of rules for international conduct. We're watching as the rules that people like Minnesota's Harold Stassen worked to hard to adopt just evaporate.
This is so embematic of the unserious nature of the people who lead us, including Trump and that vainglorious fool, Pete Hegseth. Let's consult Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

200,000 in the IRGC.
Iranian armed forces number, apparently, over 600,000. Sending 2,500 Marines to make a contested landing against them doesn't seem prudent.
I don't know why we're surprised by this.
In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
Pete Hegseth is still denying photographers into the Pentagon press briefing.
You guys know what to do.
A couple of generations ago, air and water were described by economists as 'free goods.'
Let them GET crabs.

He hails from, yes, Transylvania,
A long box with a lid,
Where heβs slept since a kid,
And dreams of State pyromania.
I imagine sound engineers could get rid of that now, but it's sort of charming.

The next meeting of the Minneapolis chapter of the national political and social club, Drinking Liberally, will be tomorrow evening, March 12th. We will meet where we always do: the 331 Club, 331 -13th Avenue NE (in Minneapolis, obviously), also known as the northeast corner of 13th and University Avenues NE. We'll gather at six PM (until about 9 PM); come earlier for the 331's Happy Hour. Around 7 PM, we'll have a discussion of voter registration, the odious SAVE Act, and being at the ready to address voter suppression efforts in Minnesota, including by ICE agents.
Drinking Liberally in Minneapolis meets tomorrow evening, March 12th, from six to nine, at the 331 Club. More deets in the ALT.
Stick up for them even if they're not you friends and you don't even know them.
These are known as 'clown shoes.'
This is what the term βclown shoesβ was invented for.
Members of the Downtown Council represent firms that pay a lot of real estate taxes. They are entitled to a seat at the table, but not to own the table.
What percentage of the Downtown Council lives in the City of Minneapolis?

Listen to my friend Aaron Klemz.
True that. π
Priceless.
Star Tribune headline, "Trump says US has ample weapons supply"
How do we know that the US has munitions in short supply?
Because the Orange Dissembler said so.
I wasn't being dismissive of a great photographer; I just couldn't cough up his name: Saul Leiter.

All those Obama tan suit whiners are mighty quiet about Donald Trump wearing a white baseball hat to Dover for the dignified transfer of our slain service members.

Her sin was trying to create an independent power structure in the administration. She did not pay sufficient fealty to the capo dei capi, and he fired her on social media.
