Jack Hopkins:
โCassidy Hutchinson eloquently stated a truth that is seldom talked about:
Trump will eventually be gone from the Earth. When he is, and MAGA has hopefully withered to impotence in his absence, we better have a plan for re-absorbing the people who flock to him to be fleeced, now.โ
I agree, but historically, Reconstruction and post-Vietnam America are two examples of division that needed reabsorption and failed.
This is heartbreaking.
I guess the only good thing is that the mayday call gave enough time to clear the bridge of traffic, but I wish the construction crew had been able to evacuate.

Living near a similar sized international bridge makes one think about how nothing is permanent. Everything is vulnerable.
Anyone want to bet Trump won't be able to come up with a $175 million bond in 10 days?
This is interesting. I scored 5 out of 8.
Question for you all because #CoSoRocks
I have a friend. Sheโs such a good person. She has a tremendous heart and often thinks of others before herself. Lifeโs been good for her, and at the same time, others take advantage of her kindness and generosity. The question she asks herself is โWhen is it going to be my turn?โ
I was wondering if any of you brilliant minds had any advice I could give her. Right now, my reply to her question is โYou gotta take it to have it be your turn.โ
Ideas?

Biden's got a lot of upside potential, Trump's got a lot of downside risk.
Since American elections are zero-sum, you can spot Bidenโs upside potential in two buckets. Anything thatโs good news for Biden is good news for Biden (QED); but anything thatโs bad news for Trump is also good news for Biden.
Thereโs good news for Biden in both buckets.

Mike Gallagher (R-WI) will resign early, & the GOP's majority will likely shrink to just 217-214 in May.
That would mean they'd only control the House thanks to two illegally gerrymandered districts in Alabama & Louisiana that have been struck down for racial discrimination & redrawn for 2024
Oh what fun the House of Representatives is having today! #politics
Looks like another influx of bird farm refugees ... exercise care.
