Woo-hoo, my beloved homeland of Minnesota and its governor Tim Walz remain a shining example of how it should be done to try to actually help people instead of oppress them! I always hope that things like this will overshadow the likes of Kevin Sorbo and Mike Lindell.
I'm sorry, I can't get over the copper polisher Trump smeared over his face before his latest video. Who thinks that's a good idea? Does he have no advisors?

I figure that if you look at the US state-by-state and use the 2020 presidential election results as a guide, somewhere between 35 and 65 percent of a state’s voters are assholes (I am assuming that anyone who voted for Trump in 2020 is an asshole). No state is asshole free.
It's funny. It's like we could eat our vegetables, but Congress won't fund vegetables instead of foreign aid. If they'd fund vegetables, the argument would make sense.
Trump media stock dropped 9.5 percent but ended only down 8.92 percent. Or as the NYT will probably say- Investors optimistic after “sharp uptick” near the end of trading
Short the crap out of it if buying...I'm pretty sure someone - probably affiliated with DJT - has already done so and has pulled a bunch of cash out already.
Republicans - “Let the states decide. Republicans don’t really want a total ban.”
Also Republicans-
“Arizona Republicans Thwart Attempts to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban
Democrats in both houses of the Legislature were blocked from advancing bills to roll back a reinstated 160-year-old ban on nearly all abortions in the state.”
It's hard to say to your extremist base "we will end all abortions, ha ha" while also trying to say to moderates "dont' worry, we are lying to our extremist base".
Funny how when job numbers are good and inflations goes down it’s off the front page of the NYT in three hours never to be heard from again but when it goes from a predicted 3.7 to *gasp* 3.8!!!! it not only stays at the top for two straight days but they just keep adding more and more bad news for Biden headlines. The latest.
“A Hot Inflation Report Is a Blow to President Biden
The president’s approval ratings have been hurt by rapid inflation and rising interest rates.”
Jeez, dramatic enough??? And I like how NYT has zero idea if the Arizona decision hurts Republicans but they immediately know this is a “blow to Biden”
And approval ratings aren't news since they are BARELY even data...far too fuzzy and subjective to be treated like 'facts'...But that's the way the legacy media wants us to treat polls
That makes it even MORE insidious...Its a kind of Trojan Horse maneuver...ENOUGH of the writing and reporting is very good so you can't dismiss the whole rag altogether...But they drop the ball and misdirect where its MOST important..NOTHING is more important than reporting accurately and honestly on the threat that the republican party and RW extremism poses to our democracy. NOTHING is more important than making the CLEAR CONNECTION between domestic terrorism and republican RW ideology... Being coy and opaque on such existential issues in such a precarious time is deeply immoral and journalistic malpractice
It's completely absurd. You look at the numbers, they're pretty amazing when you consider unemployement has been this low for this long, and GDP growth has been higher than normal as well. That's an economy that is running hot, so inflation under 4% is something every POTUS from Truman through Bush Sr. would have killed for. But hey, that doesn't suit the pro-Trump narrative!
Sad part is the article is fine. It’s a measured piece about Biden being optimistic and saying the Fed should still lower rates. None of the article supports the headline. None of it.
The reason the United States doesn't have universal healthcare when it COULD have had it right after the Civil War is that *White people didn't want Black people to have it*.
Maybe the babies are looking up at nice boobs because they are hungry? In my experience, hungry babies are fussy and cry a lot. More likely they are looking at something shiny.
MN is killing it. If you want to know what a liberal government hellscape actually looks like. Go to MN and see all the amazing things they are doing.
Woo-hoo, my beloved homeland of Minnesota and its governor Tim Walz remain a shining example of how it should be done to try to actually help people instead of oppress them! I always hope that things like this will overshadow the likes of Kevin Sorbo and Mike Lindell.
And in Texas, AG Paxton sues Houston for providing $500 guaranteed income for babies. Situation normal.
Ta, Dok. I appreciate your gifting us with Nice Times.
I'm sorry, I can't get over the copper polisher Trump smeared over his face before his latest video. Who thinks that's a good idea? Does he have no advisors?
I’m reminded of that time he went all the way from the White House to Air Force 1 with toilet paper on his shoe.
My theory: His staff hates him almost as much as normal people do.
They're afraid to tell him the truth
You heard that Liz Cheney was denied an award in Michigan because a whole board was afraid of what Donald might do to them if he was fauxlected again
Cowards
Well, he's consulted with John Miller, John Barron, and David Dennison in the past...
Big strong guys with tears in their eyes and less bronzer.

Growing up we were told to to eat our vegetables because kids in foreign countries were starving.
It’s weird hearing the same people who taught you that complain that the government is helping to feed starving kids.
It's funny. It's like we could eat our vegetables, but Congress won't fund vegetables instead of foreign aid. If they'd fund vegetables, the argument would make sense.
It's a start...

Dead cat bounce
Can you afford to NOT buy some Truth Social stock?
SEC should be investigating that gang, my guess is they're up to some major illegal shit.
Short the crap out of it if buying...I'm pretty sure someone - probably affiliated with DJT - has already done so and has pulled a bunch of cash out already.
As you note, major illegal shit.
"Where is this Oo-tah, anyway?"
Between the Rocky mountains and a lifeless alkali plane with a dead inland ocean.
The tribe indigenous to there (and CO) are the Utes, which I choose to pronounce "yoots" like Cousin Vinny.
Of which, I hasten to add, there are more than two.
Do they listen to that goldanged Rap music?
Wander around in the high desert until you find a place completely incompatible with human life. Then sit down and have a three-two beer.

Who Would Jesus Starve?
The Republican reply when you bring that up is always something like, “that should be a personal decision! It shouldn’t be up to the government!”
Oh really? That sounds an awful lot like separation of church and state.
nice!~I am SO using that if the opportunity arises
Then if you really want to see them twist themselves into knots ask them if this separation applies to government and abortion.
Witches?
Loaves, fishes...

"Hot inflation" report? It's 0.3% higher than last month, and under 4% for the past year.
The Times needs to stop writing RNC press releases.
The NYT has become little else than the sensationalist headlines distributor.
Yep. The headlines are actually ruining the paper. Most of the articles, most of them, are pretty decent.
For now
That makes it even MORE insidious...Its a kind of Trojan Horse maneuver...ENOUGH of the writing and reporting is very good so you can't dismiss the whole rag altogether...But they drop the ball and misdirect where its MOST important..NOTHING is more important than reporting accurately and honestly on the threat that the republican party and RW extremism poses to our democracy.

Editors want their clickbait.
Feeding children is just a basic level of decency. I genuinely do not understand people who are against this.
Racism overrides humanitarian instincts.
Sometimes it even overrides self-interest.
The reason the United States doesn't have universal healthcare when it COULD have had it right after the Civil War is that *White people didn't want Black people to have it*.

Speaking of Utah, can anyone explain this?:

Maybe with enough boob augmentation, one floats like a zeppelin, and that's what they're looking up at?
Somebody HUNGRY....
Perhaps they're admiring the view of the Grand Tetons.
(Yes, I know they're in Wyoming - it's a *distant* view.)
I think it’s an altered image. That outfit does not offer breast augmentation.

Always thought Joseph Smith was more of a leg man
Technically bewtocks, butt yeah.
Getting daughter a leg up among the polygamists?
I should clarify what the mystery is: why is this happening in Utah, of all places?
LOL! Lots of babies there - maybe they need to earn their keep by modeling? Who the heck knows!
That's just twisted and weird.
Those babies are thirsty!
noice.
Maybe the babies are looking up at nice boobs because they are hungry? In my experience, hungry babies are fussy and cry a lot. More likely they are looking at something shiny.
After raising sextuplets, a bit of restoration may be in order.
The men would be interested in those.
They're looking up at those boobs.
