'Orange Man Bad' is the 'Buy index funds' of political commentary. Any idiot can repeat it, and it beats more sophisticated analysis virtually every time. People who talk themselves into deviating from the simple strategy always looks silly. It's undefeated.

And no, not only monsters can consider the utilitarian argument behind killing one person to save trillions. Luke realizes he has another option, but he initially gives into his fear of what he sees Ben becoming. Another reasonable thing given his and his father's characters.

I truly don't get it. You're not supposed to like that Luke has these thoughts. But acting like people having extreme reactions to incredibly distressing circumstances is far fetched, especially for someone as emotional as Luke, is weird to me.

Flat out false. You see or hear this video circulating the internet, you do your part and point out that this is RAF Fairford in 2020.

This is an essential thread that’s even more relevant today than it was a month ago, explaining why British public health authorities’ insistence on using a flawed measure of the UK population is fostering a totally distorted picture of vaccine effectiveness.

Folks, if you see anyone quoting Alex Berenson / Joe Rogan on how case rates in England are higher among vaxxed than unvaxxed, that data is incorrect, as explained here. The table they shared is real, but it's wrong.

@sahadevsharma You looking in to what's up with Davies? Velo is down a half tick during a time where the new ball is contributing to higher velocities. Cutter usage cut in half despite strong v movement. Increase in curveball usage despite worse v movement compared to avg

Also getting less h movement than avg on his change. Have they identified a mechanical issue yet? Is he struggling to adjust to the new ball or something?

For everyone $1 SALT cap repeal pays to Black households, it pays $13 to White households - itep.org/not-worth-its-salt-… New @iteptweets study shows ~3/4 of the tax break goes to White people - mostly rich White people.

Not Worth Its SALT: Tax Cut Proposal Overwhelmingly Benefits Wealthy, White Households

A previous ITEP analysis showed the lopsided distribution of SALT cap repeal by income level. The vast majority of families would not benefit financially from repeal and most of the tax cuts would...

96% of the benefit of the SALT cap deduction repeal would go to folks in the top quintile. This is NOT a middle class tax cut - crfb.org/blogs/repealing-sal…

Business reporters should make sure to explain the Fed move to inject liquidity by purchasing assets worth $1.5 trillion is not a $1.5 trillion handout. I am seeing people misunderstand this operation.

I hear ya but disagree. This is his brand, he ain't changing, & it's something his supporters value/respect. What gets under my skin--and I'm a fan!--is the idea that those of us who want to get to a similar place, but incrementally, are counter-revolutionists or sellouts.

Wasn't it not even 24 hours ago on this website that straying from Medicare for All was considered literal murder by its supporters? xitter.cf/ajjaffe/status/1228072…

AOC on likelihood of M4A getting passed: “The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so,” she said. (H/t @eschor) huffpost.com/entry/roadblock…

The Big Roadblock For Bernie Sanders' Agenda

Moderates shouldn't be too scared of a Sanders presidency when all Republicans and most Democrats in Congress publicly oppose "Medicare for All."

Former big city mayor, Housing Secretary, and presidential candidate here. 👋 I would: 1. Increase the stock of affordable housing 2. Make housing vouchers an entitlement 3. End housing discrimination But first you have to see people without homes as...people. Shocking.

Mayor @PeteButtigieg comes out against Las Vegas's proposed homeless ordinance. I wonder what these current and former mayors (looking at you, @CoryBooker) suggest in lieu of the ordinance that's on the agenda today?

@harrypav Why is DRA so high on Darvish?

Strikeout-walk differential is decent. HR/FB rate seems too high to be sustainable. But even if we look at something like xFIP, which should account for those things, he's roughly league average. Where does DRA see positives that other metrics don't?
On Ryan's resignation: he's been the ultimate poser, espousing concern for the poor, the aged, the sick, and fiscal rectitude, while consistently working to undermine each one of those goals.

If Kershaw'd done this in G5, LA wouldn't be on the brink. THIS is normal Kershaw. IMO, Oct pressure bothers him. Not always. But too often.
