Ep. 363: The State Of The Union Is Tariff-y

  Talking Point Memo's Josh Marshall is asking for help from US citizens in documenting town hall meetings in these united States:

"I’m trying to compile a list of all the town halls where GOP members of Congress got rocked by constituents this past week while they were on break. There are so many now that I can’t really write a whole post about each one. But I wanted to ask if you could send me links if there are examples where your member of Congress or Senator had a similar experience so I can add it to the list."

"This is the baseline of everything to do with social media. You can’t really keep up with the all the bad things people do within the business model. Period. End of story. " #JoshMarshall https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-economics-that-define-social-media ht @timbray

// it's an inherently destructive business model that only pencils because Section 230 is too categorical

The Economics That Define Social Media

As a follow up to my post below I want to return to a more technical point but one which is critical to understand as the baseline for any discussion about social media and ‘platforms’.

A Bit More on the Cybertruck Story

It’s some testament to our times that there was an immediate and big hunger among many people to find some way that Matthew Livelsberger’s suicide-cum-Cybertruck fireworks incident in Las Vegas was…

The DOGE Asterisk

As I’ve argued in a few different posts, “DOGE” – the grandiosely and absurdly titled ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ – is merely an advisory panel which is probably best understood as a kind of…

“But not having a fancy Times or Politico columnist say it doesn’t make it any less so. Trump’s ability to just dictate isn’t quite panning out. And that matters”#JoshMarshall

With Pete Hegseth Among the Post-Nominated

It seems all but certain that Pete Hesgeth’s nomination to lead the Pentagon is doomed. Yesterday he was reduced to promising not to drink on the job if he’s confirmed for Defense Secretary.

TPM - Talking Points Memo

I'm sharing this Josh Marshall Editorial. Any Dem not on board with this pardon can fuck right off and join the republicans.

Any republicans having a problem with this pardon can join weak Dems in fucking right off - they're bad faith actors who have not been honest in the past 9 years (if ever).

People know, and a lot of people love it. And I think that's horrifying and something we're going to have to wrangle with”
