State of the Union Addresses have always been performative bs and I rarely bothered watching them. His, I refuse to even try. I figure if anything *truly* important happened, I could catch it via a news article or Bluesky post or something.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

They are getting longer, once they get to 4 hours then you are in Great Hall of the People/Make Enver Hoxha Great Again territory....let's hope we never get there.

The Minsky Moment

The press really needs to stop referring to Elena Kagan as a "liberal" justice.  She isn't.

Actually, Jackson really isn't either but that's more of a hot take. In her case, it is mistaking temperament for ideology.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

Isn't it just relative to, say, Alito?  :ph34r:

In the time before time the important thing was to fit the speech into the schedule of network TV.  Now the audience watch steamers.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

The latest:
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

Absolutely unhinged, but par for the course, idiocy and hatefulness from The Regime. I definitely wouldn't have guessed Minnesota to be the major battleground for the Trump War, yet here we are again.  :huh:

Is the Minnesota Medicaid Blackmail likely to impact the midterms?
