@kevsaucebro Going to the old towns and malls of Poland was an amazing experience for me. Only deepened my liberal and urbanist beliefs.
Every day I was like "yes, this is it, this is what we want for humanity."

it’s quite literally a bedrock of the helleno-roman tradition that underlies all of western civilization

the human soul yearns for mixed used pedestrian oriented urban planning
Birch Brother 🪓@BjorkBrodern
It's probably the most basic human experience since we started building houses. In great Roman cities the Insulae, their apartments didn't have kitchen due to the fire risk. Instead there was a restaurant on the first floor where everyone grabbed their food.

@Fritschner @JakeSherman By the time the Senate approved her, it'd probably be too late for any special.
House Republicans would still rather have her vote until January, of course.
English
@JakeSherman They kept her out of the cabinet because they were afraid of losing a special election and the outlook for that has definitely gotten worse in the past year

So you guys want my rant on the sheep detective movie or should I spare yall?

political swamp creatures: THIS FACTIONAL DEBATE IS EXISTENTIAL FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND IF OUR FACTION DOES NOT WIN ALL HOPE IS LOST.
democratic primary voters: For president I like Kamala, Gavin, AOC, and Pete and my favorite politicians are Bernie and Obama. 🤪

@BeshearStan @PfPopulist Also a lot of the much-touted Reagan deregulation actually occurred under Carter.
The truth is more complicated than just "Jimmy Carter gave us craft beer and cheap airline tickets," but that did start during his presidency.
English
@PfPopulist He legit was?? He wanted to balance the budget and called universal healthcare too expensive
English
Looks like Virginia has their own Jimmy Carter (Dem centrist who has shit relations with their party controlled legislature). What a waste

Political insider Ben Tribbett claims Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is looking for primary challengers to run against Louise Lucas and other members of State Senate leadership in Virginia. (Spanberger’s team is denying the report)
English
@kevsaucebro But he's "rock solid in South Fairfax."
FWIW I live in Surovell's district and have never met any fans of his.
I'm sure they exist among the Mt. Vernon Dems, but those organizations are pretty out of touch from actual voters.
English
Surovell should be commonwealth target #1
Ben Tribbett@notlarrysabato
I’m going to say something out loud that will help make sense of things in Virginia. Spanberger is planning primaries to all of Senate leadership. They are looking at candidates against Lucas, Deeds, Locke and Surovell. Everything else makes sense if you see what’s coming.
English
@GoadGatsby Yeah I thought about making a snarky reply to that effect.
But I don't have it it me to be that mean.
English
People are reading this tweet like Ben Tribbett isn't being sued for defamation by Spanberger's Chief of Staff

Hi 👋 PAC Director here, and can assure you this isn’t true.

@seminoleraider @GovernorVA It would be ironic if the one-term limit, designed to keep the governor weak, is actually leaving her unchained entirely.
English
@LtNOWIS @GovernorVA She has tarnished her reputation with her own base, and is desperately trying to pander to the same people who want her in prison. This is a losing strategy if I’ve ever seen one, and one that would only be pursued if you didn’t have to seek re-election and had higher aspirations

Rural healthcare professionals have faced so many challenges in recent years, including increased threats from Washington. Yesterday at Virginia Highlands Community College, I held a roundtable to discuss the challenges that rural communities face from workforce needs to maternal healthcare access.
I am also thrilled to announce that Virginia Highlands Community College will receive Virginia's first Rural Health Transformation Award to expand their Licensed Practical Nursing program. This investment is about more than healthcare, its about economic opportunity and quality of life.
English
@seminoleraider @GovernorVA It's a commonwealth! She works for all the people, whether they voted for her or not.
This isn't electioneering, it's what she is supposed to do.
English
@GovernorVA How many times in the next week are you gonna pander to rural republicans who literally will never support you.
They’re in your comments every post saying you’re a dictator communist, and you’re like if we all hold hands we will surely get along! Whoever is advising you is dumb
English
@BeshearStan Those facts go hand in hand! They're the first two things anyone should know about her.
English
@cristofle @gmoomaw Voters will be fine if this stuff gets approved via the budget or in next year's session.
She signed a ton of good legislation already.
English
This feels like important context for understanding the strained Spanberger-GA dynamic.
The governor went along w/ a redistricting idea she didn't love. Then got all the downside of looking extremely partisan, w/o the upside of it actually working
nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/…
English
@cristofle @gmoomaw It's not about restoring her approval ratings, except maybe in the long term.
It's about telling the GA she won't be dragged out on a limb again.
English
This might sound sad, but you can mix it with the stuff in the quote tweet, a wide variety of prepared and frozen foods, and very easy recipes as you improve.
Also, go for take out instead of delivery, it's cheaper.
Combined, you can live without cooking and without DoorDash.
English
Frozen veggies cost like a dollar. Seasoned ones a bit more.
A box of pasta is also a dollar. Microwave the veggies, boil the pasta, and put it on a plate, and dump some jarred sauce on it.
Carly@RhyminCarly
I agree with this, but I’d like to add that the cooking illiterate can still: -heat canned soup in microwave -throw together a sandwich -heat up a frozen dinner -buy from places that don’t cost $28 None of which costs $28
English
It wasn't 100%. One guy who wandered in with the crowd got acquitted in a bench trial. And there were a few others where only some of the charges stuck.
Shipwreckedcrew@shipwreckedcrew
The US Attorney's Office for DC has a historical conviction rate at trial of around 65%. Yet the J6 cases were 100%. If you don't see the flaw in that juxtaposition -- then you're a brain dead liberal masquerading as a journalist.
English
@kevsaucebro Yeah it's the difference between "you wanted this lol" and "you tried to stop this but were wholly outmatched."
English
@LtNOWIS I wasn’t overly impressed by that effort but I’ll acknowledge he worked to make it happened, so I stand corrected
English
I’m not interested in hearing this from the people directly responsible for ensuring Spanberger didn’t have a meaningful primary to run in
Ben Tribbett@notlarrysabato
Outside of a few activists on her payroll is there anyone around that actually likes this Governor? To be condemned by DNC committees is unprecedented.
English
@kevsaucebro He's a Louise Lucas partisan right? There was that abortive effort to recruit Bobby Scott.
English
Ben Tribbett is a big-time political consultant in Virginia, high roller, high stakes
so then where was the candidate
