If you want to know how the week is going, I just took a pillowcase out of the dryer, put it over my head thinking it was a t-shirt to wear to bed, spent 15 seconds inside it searching for the neckhole, and then mumbled “what is this, pants?”.

@LPDonovan Big difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2: he realized he doesn't need "they": a cabinet full of decorated generals and party operators. The government won't fall apart if he appoints Fox News hosts and MAGA groupies to run major agencies, and he can guarantee loyalty that way.

@YMAStuart @DylanoA4 It is *especially* useful advice if you are dealing with actual trauma. The solutions are in caring about other people.

@BizballMaury It's much harder to build a team that wins 90+ games than one that can win a 7-game series.

If MLB playoffs started today, the teams with the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th biggest payrolls (out of 30 teams), would all be in.

@TylerDinucci Nobody is going to riot for Ken Paxton. Trump will have to lead the outrage.

@YourManDevine I love Hubie, but I would pay an amount of money I'm not proud of to have Bill Raftery narrate mundane achievements in my life.

@GoStros11 @Chandler_Rome That makes no sense. They'd rather send him to AAA. Burrows is the one with an incentive to claim a phantom injury (not that I think he is) for MLB pay and service time.

@Chandler_Rome As I mentioned weeks ago, Astros would be looking for a -- often called, phantom -- reason to move optionable, poor performing starterS for the guys pushing up from AAA.

The Astros have nullified the optional assignment for Mike Burrows and put him on the injured list with right elbow neuritis. His placement is effective July 7.

@AntonioBelisle @polisciqueenn She is not remotely a "leftist" and has been villified for being a moderate running against McMorrow (Millennial lib) and AES (the leftist).

@gribbo586 @jbarro Yes, but plenty of elected officials become more pro-business after they get a taste of insider life. Sinema combined it with this arrogant, righteous self-image as the only non-extremist in a polarized government, and wild levels of financial and sexual impulsivity.

@MikeMitchNH @jbarro Sinema was attractive enough to really flatter the old men in Congress and mainstream political media. The best term for her is ‘sellout’. The second donors and lobbyists wined and dined her she fell in love with the high life and never looked back.

Graham Platner is just Hunter Biden with worse ink: a downwardly-mobile egomaniac whose inexplicable sex appeal makes him especially bad news. joshbarro.com/p/graham-platn…

@jbarro People like Tim Scott and Mitt Romney fell for Sinema as a serious bipartisan dealmaker with integrity, and she's just a greedy narcissist.

@jbarro The female version of Platner is most closely Sinema, an objectively bad person who is personally chaotic, abandoned her progressivism the second industry lobbyists started flattering her, spent campaign money on her personal life, seduced her security staff, etc.

@mattyglesias This is why you have rich kids with extra time on tests. They pay $300/hr for 4 hours of testing and another $2K for a "report" saying their bright kid needs accommodations. If you can't pay $3200 out of pocket for a bogus note, too bad.

@mattyglesias Yes, doctors (esp. mental health) are too exclusionary and they should be a bit poorer so that more people have access to care. Almost all forms of outpatient mental health services are currently a luxury product for people who can pay out-of-pocket at near-lawyer hourly rates.

It's pretty common for psychiatrists (like AES's wife here) to decline to accept Medicare because the reimbursement rates are relatively low, but remember that Medicare For All works in part by forcing providers to accept lower reimbursement rates! freebeacon.com/democrats/abdu…

I moved from New England to Texas in 2014. It was not because I thought it was more utopian. It's because you can't get a good teaching job in New England without a Masters degree, but I immediately became in-demand at elite schools by Texas standards. Common blue-to-red story.
