@HanShawnity Massie 2028 is going to be so fun

Thomas Massie received glowing endorsements from: Code Pink Ro Khanna The New York Times Hasan Piker Mother Jones AOC Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar Summer Lee Marjorie Taylor Greene Candace Owens Tucker Carlson If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

[reading only the first word and last word of this reply] glad you agree with me 👍

If Massie wins, libertarians were right, the Iran war is a disaster, MAGA is dead, and America first is the way forward. If Massie loses, libertarians were right, the system is hopelessly corrupt, and we can’t vote our way out of this.

Teaching in the age of LLMs: I failed 4 students, for the first time ever. I also gave more A+'s than ever before. In previous years, students realized after the first or second HW that they weren't in Kansas anymore and needed to work hard. No more. Just solve it with LLMs. But then the midterm arrives, and they can answer 0 of 40 questions. Do they reform their ways? Nah, they just decide to "give up" on class, assuming they'll get a B, or a C, or whatever, because they submitted HW and got decent grades on those. And never before have they encountered a professor who will dare fail them. The flip side is that the most "agentic" students now have the world's best tutor at their disposal. They deeply understand the material and aced my (intentionally very difficult) exams. As if we live in "The Diamond Age". Inequality galore. From my vantage point, "the permanent underclass" appears to be about agency, not assets.

@GovernorVA It’s almost like democrats have to follow the law as well. You were held accountable for trying to stomp all over the state constitution. This is EXACTLY what should have happened. It’s a good day for America. 🇺🇸

Incredible stuff happening on the AI-run radio stations

@BlueRepublik So... the first way I deal with this is to download the data and discover that this is not true. With this evidence, I determine that liberals are very gullible and not very good at math. Then, I argue with liberals who refuse to look at my data. marginallycompelling.com/p/fema-is-not-…

We need more transparency in the foreign interest lobbying on Capitol Hill. That’s why I introduced the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act today.

@TheJeffBoski @ACR_POKER Ahead of the open jam range easy. SB short, could lose and still win. Button is the only question, feels like they could have AJ+, 66+. I’d call. Seeing that KQ is in the range too, even better

@feelsdesperate If regulation isn’t as much to blame as we thought, we have to look at schools next

Makes you wonder how much of ‘rising medical costs’ is just fraud, is just people stealing money.

imagine freeing one slave in your entire life and it’s Hitler

Note for less-cultured Europeans: you can only call it Kirkland Cabernet Sauvignon if it comes from the Costco region of the United States.

The Supreme Court should not be “balanced” or seek to give wins to “both sides.” Its job is to correctly interpret the law. If one side keeps advancing interpretations of the law that are incorrect, they should lose more often.

A new Republican Party may be forming

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

As someone in the midst of this and seeing it compound every single day - the longer a company takes to go all in here, the further behind they become.

The MAGA frustration with Massie is understandable. What MAGA should appreciate is that Massie is the avatar of many libertarians. Libertarians can be ornery but they belong on the right. Without Massie they are homeless.

Thomas Massie: “There’s a reason I’m their number one target.” “It’s because I’m effective.” “I used a discharge petition to get the Epstein files bill passed.” “I stopped a bill two weeks ago that would’ve allowed data centers to bypass the environmental and judicial process for getting permits.” “I got my signature legislation, the PRIME Act, in the … Farm Bill.” “The PRIME Act would allow local farmers to sell to local consumers using the local health department instead of the USDA getting involved.” “They don’t spend nearly $10 million against somebody who’s a backbencher.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @Local12
