So while these are the usual dregs, they exist in a larger permission structure of (fake) Genteel Progressivism that feels increasingly emboldened because they’re never asked direct questions about whether this is acceptable or desirable behavior.

Nothing is quite as European as demanding that your emergency WW3 meeting must only occur during normal office hours.

Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.

“So how much money could be out there in your Jesus Christ swaps and derivatives right now?”
“Mmm. A billion dollars.”
“What? How much bigger is the market of Rapture Derivatives than Second Coming trades?!”
“About 20 times.”

So the reason this Polymarket “prediction market” is performing so insanely high is because there’s a second market asking if this market will go above 5%. People in the derivative market are manipulating this market. Which defeats the public policy case for prediction markets…

I had low expectations for the halftime show, but my god. There’s just no way this isn’t considered a flop. Objectively.

@CraigDMauger Yes and bring back department scorecards. They used to be mandated in the gen gov budget that included data on interesting customer service related stats like call response times. Unfortunately, it was removed 2 years ago.

Every report the Legislature requires from state agencies each year should be collected and posted on a single website for taxpayers who fund the reports to find easily.

🚨 BREAKING: Anduril Founder @PalmerLuckey Responds to President Trump’s New Restrictions on Defense Companies
“These measures do apply to me. I now cannot pay dividends. I now cannot do stock buybacks, if I’m not investing in new [manufacturing] plants.”
“[President Trump] isn’t anti-defense or anti-defense company, that’s for sure.”
“I think that when you are effectively run on the public’s wallet, the public should be able to impose whatever restrictions they want on you.”
“If they want to say that I only pay myself $5m until I’m caught up with my schedules, they should be allowed to do that.”
“It’s even good to scare some people sometimes… You remember being a teenager? Your parents say: ‘You’re grounded until you bring up your grades... then we will talk.’”
You don’t necessarily go to [defense companies] and say: ‘This is the way it’s going to be forever.’ You say: ‘This is how it’s going to be until you get your act together.’”
