I would just like to add that Indiana put Kent Abernathy in charge of the Indiana DOT and I know him personally to be an incompetent leader, not very bright, total misogynist, lazy and doesn’t read anything, and came in last in the election when he tried to run for an open reps seat. So the clown show at the top is trickling down to a total shitshow at the state level. I am beyond disgusted. 🤮 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Will Duffy be advocating the micro transfusion program that was such a big part of Ceausescu's pro-natalist policy? The program that increased HIV infections drastically? He's enough of a doofus to try that.
Wanted to share this piece with you—it’s about how we keep falling into the outrage trap and how to fight back strategically. Would love to hear your thoughts.
"...DOT officials should take care to prioritize funding road projects in “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average,” because that will somehow be good for America, you see. The memo also called for upgrading transportation access for “families with young children” as well as mitigating the downsides of transportation projects on families."
I am in the transportation business and this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.
It is essentially a nativist policy to try to reward the home-front rather than immigrants.
What they are missing is that one of the biggest drivers of growth is internal immigration. Florida is building tons of roads largely because of an influx from other states. You think they are going to deny Florida funding? They are just idiots and racists
This wikipedia page is interesting because it compares birth rates to death rates among the states. Ironically, blue states are some of the biggest organic growth states while red states are dying faster than they breed.
The fact that many of them, Mississippi being the leader, have very high infant mortality and maternal mortality rates, may have something to do with that.
Sean Duffey is well known here in his former district as being as dumb as the logs he used to chop as a faux lumberjack. Not only Wisconsin but the senior communities in Florida, like The Villages, are going to have to learn to love potholes.
Birthrates for citizens only? My home state might not be quite so green if so.

I read that TREASURY has been ordered by DOGE not to pay any federal contractors. Just like Trump doesn’t pay his contractors.

Living in an SNL skit is not fun when it drags on for two weeks and counting!
Ya know for constant bitching about DE&I, Trump sure does hire a lot of people who fit that bill. Dumb, evil, and ignorant.

Solid points, Well written Thanks
The Repubs' position on babies seems to be to get a lot of them borne, then not care for them. Sounds like a modern versions of "A Modest Proposal."

This man, Duffy Beer, is an idiot and an asshole! Next he’ll want to use children to work in factories and coal mines! Go home asshole!
So does this mean the Amish will be getting a four lane highway?

So: no funding for The Villages?
There's no shortage of sex with abandon in The Villages.
"Illegal orders" are the only thing they know.

Aw, ya hate to see it...

" ... Those are perfectly cromulent! "
What! Is George Will now writing for wonkette?
Huh
Wonder what they think about the divorce rate

Those Florida potholes can swallow golf carts, I've been told.
