- Yeah I was thinking about the 09-10 example but you had to have the biggest economic collapse since the Depression AND Obama to get there. I think something similar has to occur to get back. And if so, the Dems need to focus on structural reform.

- The Democratic disadvantages in the Senate are structural. Best case, they get up to 53-54. If there is a complete Trump engineered GOP collapse then maybe higher. If so get PR and DC statehood asap to erode the structural problem.
- The entire discourse around this seems to be "if people agreed with me, then my party would win more."

- Here's hoping everyone reunites in the finals.
- I was wondering who’s responsible for the ongoing demolition of NSF. Aside from Chief Management Officer Cheatham, whose resignation the staff union seeks, it appears to be 3 DOGE agents: Farritor (23), Terrell (25), and Riley (33). None appear to have any familiarity with scientific research.
- His name is really Cheatham?
- The only thing that surprises me about this is that the Qataris actually think Trump will do whatever he promised them once he actually has the plane.
- They've now made clear the Qatari plane is officially a bribe. Trump gets to take it with him for his personal use after he leaves office. The Times is really not being clear with readers abt how prez libraries work. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/qatar...

- It’s a remake of AIR FORCE ONE but in this version the president is leading the terrorists
- They willingly destroy massive benefits to consumers, workers, or environment users to create the tiniest cost saving for capital. They do not care at all about anything but costs to capital.

View full threadI’m not saying they won’t take down some rules, and maybe even some important ones, but our regulatory state is vast and multifaceted and much of it is encoded into statute. DOGE isn’t competent to do what it’s trying to do, but that doesn’t mean these folks won’t try. /fin

- Only 3 teams have come back from down 7+ in the last minute of a playoff game since 1997. Thunder on May 13, 2014 Pacers on April 29, 2025 (7 days ago) Pacers on May 6, 2025 (tonight)

View full threadI was watching that game back in undergrad with a die-hard Knicks fan from Scarsdale. Watching him decompensate with each shot was both hilarious and tragically sad.
- I took a walk that must have been at least an hour afterwards.
- Old head here expecting to see Reggie Miller's game Sadly, probably before '97
- Knick fan, can tell you it was 1995
- seems counterintuitive to me. the Clinton impeachment happened during a time of economic growth and prosperity and the impeachment did nothing to slow that down
- I also reject the idea that “Americans only care about the economy.” I’m sure that’s true for some but it’s too broad a statement that teeters close to “always/never” illogic
- People move from saying "people care most about their economic well-being" to "people only care about the economy." Those are two very different statements. Both also glide over the difference between absolute economic well being and relative economic well being.

- Yeah and they obliterated my Knicks in the 1992 game 7. If I remember right, the 1998 one against the Pacers was competitive.
- I will not be suiting up for the Knicks in the upcoming playoff series.

This is so bizarre. Ultimately, Burgum will be blamed when DOGE cost cutting affects National Parks, our most popular public agency. Why delegate when you are going to eat the blame? Something to be said for Cabinet officials who care about their political reputation rather than billionaires.- He cares about the cookies and only the cookies.
