Primary filing deadlines have already passed in several states. If this gets as bad as it could, incumbent Republicans might come around to the idea that they have a better chance of reelection with President Vance than getting massacred by their Democratic opponent.
If this is real, Trump might actually get impeached over $10/gallon gasoline lasting into the summer.
Regardless of how you feel about this war, we shouldn't forget that American service members are putting their lives at risk to make everything you buy much more expensive and to make you forget about Jeffrey Epstein.
I remember my grandma, who grew up in southern Serbia immediately after WWI, how often she had meat growing up. She said once a week if they were lucky and that meant a little piece of sausage in their beans.
There is nowhere in the world where life has been consistently better over the last 100 years than the United States and even still, life was awful here within living memory.
In my housing policy class, I've just taken to calling saying "subsidized housing" specifically to avoid the shell game that's going on here.
You get "affordability" with subsidized homes whose prices are fixed to income or with more market rate housing that lowers prices for everyone.
Someone on here said that the United States is fast on its way to becoming a "Dashcam Society" and I don't think anything has captured our national degradation so accurately.
I generally like Ezra Klein's podcast because he brings interesting people on there, but I would rather listen to Joe Rogan talk about space aliens for three hours than this garbage where he explores Trumpism's intellectual roots.
Sartre already said it all in regards to arguing with anti-Semites.
"National leadership plans ahead for extremely predictable future circumstances" should not be a headline that's shocking for Americans to read, and yet....
This site has the juice.
Btw does anyone know why that Chevron is always so expensive? It's not near anything particularly special and costs like $3 more on average than another station like two blocks away.
If you know LA, you know this is the station right by Chinatown that has famously high prices all the time. In actuality, Trump's stupidity has only made gas cost about $5/gallon in Southern California.
This site would be much better if no one quote tweeted anonymous accounts
What happened to that guy? He had so much promise.
Carefully designed paper finds that St Paul's rent control ordinance 1) led to significant declines in home values for Saint Paul home owners, 2) gave greater benefits to higher cf. lower income renters, 3) harmed small landlords as much as large ones

Could've sworn we were in the midst of a war that already killed seven Americans.
Also every commercial is either a scam or medicine for those aged 70+.
For some reason, the TV in the student center is always tuned to Fox News so I get to see what geriatric chuds are cooking their brains with.
The 1960s, but there's just LinkedIn posts.
Like we've seen some of the most dramatic upheavals in American history over the past 15 years and no one is writing stories or songs to help us make sense of them.
One of the most depressing things about life in post GFC America is how there's just no more art or culture being produced because no one can make a living doing so any longer.
I do not want to do this data-munging, but I bet the core premium directly correlates to average travel times and as that increases, so too will the price premium for living in the inner-city.
In other words, the Sunbelt is about to become Los Angeles.
The split here was between people who got into leftist politics because they wanted to deliver material improvements to people's lives and those who got in because they wanted to foment a communist revolution. Glad to see that the leftism that actually makes the world better is winning.
The worst things that smartphones did to our society was turn people who were already low-functioning to also be inward facing.
I dunno if it's because I'm back at a public university or because the 2000s are the new retro fad, but I've been seeing a lot of weird kids on campus recently and I'm here for it.
"We can fund government by just taxing the super rich" is to people with hyphenated last names what "We can fund the government by getting rid of waste and fraud" is to people with compound first names.
We toss around "Reconstruction 2.0" a lot on here, but I think we put too much weight on the Reconstruction amendments and not enough on the fact that some former Confederate states weren't readmitted until 5 years after the Civil War ended.
We need a new Wade-Davis Bill and a new Ironclad Oath.
Political parties in a liberal democracy have a responsibility to police their membership and ensure that they uphold the norms and principles necessary for that system of government to function. If they can't, they should be banned.
Well, good thing no really important national security conversations are held on Signal right?
