there are so many astroturfed conservatives against CAHSR because the second that there is a working train between 2 cities in the US that can hit 200mph it is fundamentally over for the argument of "that doesn't work here"
The oil lobby will do everything possible to stop that

@InHarmsWay19 Wouldn’t be able to trade 2031 under the proposal only 2030

The Browns looking to trade a 2031 1st rounder for Derek Carr
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
The Cleveland Browns submitted a rule that would allow teams to trade draft picks five years out instead of three.

Sam Parr@thesamparr
There’s a guy in Hampton who bootstrapped a lifestyle apparel company to 9-figures with his twin brother. Alec Todd and his bro started with just $3k. Started Cove Apparel in Jan 2020. 2025: $38M in revenue, 22% EBITDA 2026: on track to do $110M They now have 32 employees and their own warehouse. Alec is 28 and I met him in Hampton. Pretty awesome story.

#Bills Week 2 positions of need:
- DT
- LB
- CB
- OG
- WR
- FB
I’d expect to see the Bills fill as many of these holes as they can over the next couple of weeks so that they can draft the best player available come draft night.

“There’s a clear, growing interest in Houston as a spring break destination”
1) what
Shea Jordan Smith@shea_jordan
The City of Houston should really be leaning into this moment. There’s a clear, growing interest in Houston as a spring break destination—especially for Black young people—and more broadly as a place people actually want to visit. That’s an opportunity.

if you want to get rid of your chicken legs the only thing you need to do is spam bulgarian split squats and lunges
you do not need to do anything else, ignore the noise
they are hard to do, that's why you don't see anyone doing them. It's also why most people got weak twigs.
English
Most people try to get in shape by trying to become more disciplined.
I think the more sustainable approach is to create systems that require basically no discipline at all.
Build for your future low-energy self.
Make unhealthy habits a pain in the ass to complete and it solves 90% of "motivation."

I can’t believe New York State has a $10 bln deficit, NYC is facing its own $10 bln FY27 deficit, and 31 school districts are designated to be in fiscal stress and yet the state legislature is seriously considering doing this.
English
Ranking the Bills remaining needs IMO
1) LB
2) Nose tackle
3) Vertical threat WR
4) Interior OL
5) CB depth (depending on how they feel about Dorian Strong)
6) safety depth
Still have an entire draft class though.

@Snowball_Dev @robbiehendricks A number of other countries allow accelerated depreciation
English
@robbiehendricks You’re wrong. Every other society offers housing without any cost segs or 1031s. You just don’t like to share your wealth. Be honest.
English
Please stop calling depreciation and 1031s tax loopholes.
They’re incentives. Not loopholes.
They’re incentives for citizens to take risk and invest (and re-invest) capital to both maintain and grow the housing supply so others have a quality place to live and raise their kids.
The government needs housing, so they incentivize it through tax code.
“But they’re greedy landlords and investors!”
No, it’s “you don’t want to live in a cave” and instead of having to build your own home (which you cannot), other people take the risk to build a home for you in exchange for a fair return.
You’re welcome.

@PFF_Moo Responsibility for what? There’s no evidence he did anything illegal
English
kinda important to note that this is not a good thing. It's not taking responsibility, it's an attempt to keep the franchise in the family's hands.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
New York Giants co-owners Steve, Laurie and Jonathan Tisch are requesting to transfer their stakes in the team to their children’s trusts, according to an NFL memo obtained by @SethWickersham and @JordanRaanan.

Where does Schultz say anything about leaving Seattle because of a wealth tax?
Jon Hartley@Jon_Hartley_
Starbucks founder Howard Schultz announces he is moving from Seattle to Miami as the Washington state legislature moves forward with introducing a 9.9% tax on people making more than $1 million per year starting in 2029 (Washington state currently has no state income tax).

@RyanJ_Heath Why did something huge have to change for them to back out? They just changed their mind
English
Sounds like Hendrickson wanted $30m/year. The Ravens gave him $28m/year.
You think they backed out of a deal and nuked their credibility because the price came down by $2m/year?

.@AdamSchefter gives an update on Trey Hendrickson during NFL free agency 🏈
English
I see a lot of gesturing toward vague nefariousness, but no actual theory of mind for why the Ravens would fake a failed physical
If they weren’t actually worried about Crosby’s knee, what do they gain from backing out of the deal? Their 2nd choice and a bunch of conspiracies?
English
@BlueRocketParty That’s objectively untrue. Moreover, that’s one more day away from family during the holiday.
I’m assuming you have media experience?
English
Or maybe we give media, players, and personnel a break? I mean seriously.
This industry isn’t hurting for viewership
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
NFL now is exploring playing a game on Thanksgiving Eve as early as this season. This year this would be Wednesday, Nov. 25.
English
@JagSays And it’s not much different based on what day of the week the game is
English
This is grossly underestimating the job of media.
Even if you’re a beat reporter, you’re not just “covering one game”
- Practice
- Media interviews during the week
- Travel
- Actually writing the fucking article
- The slurry of admin things that happen in between.
We don’t sit here and tweet. In fact, Twitter is a requirement for most that just gets in the way of the real work
