Denverite. Loving twin. Sound like I'm irritated even though it is just me trying to comply with the character limit. Socially liberal. Economically progressive. Have a heart. My opinions are my own.
But Republicans are more trusted in the role of Commander in Chief and as better stewards of the economy, amirite?

The Trump-backed Kennedy Center board has voted to close most of the main building for more than $250 million in repairs. But Trump says the renovation “will not take place” unless his name is allowed to be added to the building.

Welcome to colonialism 101.
For years, Alaska officials prosecuted (& persecuted) a community of American Samoans in the city of Whittier, threatening them with years in prison for the crime of voting.
You may have read about this when we covered it in Bolts earlier this year.
HUGE NEWS: Alaska just dropped all charges.

Welcome to colonialism 101.
Turns out you just don't need all that fancy military technology to bring the world to a stand still. You only need a basic understanding of transport infrastructure and logistics.
I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly.
And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

Vermont is voting on a ballot measure this fall that would create a right to organize in the state constitution.
As far as I can tell this is a rare labor referendum on the ballot this fall.

Extremely on brand.
The US Treasury has announced that the US Mint is beginning production of a new $1 gold coin featuring Trump’s face. This is against the law. Federal law does not allow living people to appear on U.S. currency, and the Presidential $1 Coin Act only authorizes coins honoring deceased presidents.
