@JamesLucasIT It’s the contrast with the Medici Tombs that always struck me. The sculptures of female bodies are nowhere near as refined as the David. Almost as if female bodies didn’t interest Michelangelo the way male bodies did. Which makes sense if, as is likely, he was gay.

@chairman_maiow @nataliesurely He toiled in obscurity for the first 40 years of his life. He was only famous for the last 20. I’ll bet it could be really interesting.

@nataliesurely There's literally thousands of hours of film of this man who cannot be replicated. We can practically watch him live his life as he lived it. We don't need a knockoff.

@applesacres @RepTiffany @RepBrianBabin An executive order on this question is meaningless. As is any law passed by Congress that attempts to abolish birthright citizenship. That's what it means to be in the constitution. It doesn't matter that you think it's bad policy or you hate it. It's not going away.

@applesacres @RepTiffany @RepBrianBabin Anyone (and I do mean, ANYONE) born on US soil is an American citizen. That's what birthright citizenship means. Now they can also be citizens of another country as well, but they have the absolute right to claim US citizenship.

Birthright citizenship encourages and rewards illegal immigration. We must put an END to it. This morning, I joined @RepBrianBabin to support his bill to codify President Trump’s Executive Order and stop birthright citizenship once and for all.

@rcbregman Don't have presidential pardons - simple. No other western nation has this, and it is clearly abused by every president.

Sorry, but this is not the time for empathy for a father who 'just wants to help his son.' It's time for outrage at the hypocrisy of (too many) liberal elites who continuously claim the moral high ground but miserably fail at actually living up to it. #bidenpardon

@paulg So no, it’s completely unsurprising that this person found it impossible to continue as if everything is normal when his good friend voted for a world- historical destructive force. This isn’t just disagreement over policy. It’s a fundamental break with liberal democracy.

@paulg The fact that this utter turd of a person won the election decisively after everything we’ve been through with him for almost 10 years is so profoundly upsetting and bewildering it calls into question everything I thought I knew about this country and what it’s about.

Don't do this. No matter how much you dislike Trump, don't do this. Half the people in America voted for Trump. If you think voting for Trump makes people evil, then you have to believe half the people in America are evil, and that's just deluded.

@atrupar This is the one issue that Trump really, really cares about. I predict he'll be largely hands off on all the rest of his ridiculous promises. But he's going to make sure by hook or by crook that immigrants are hounded out of the country. He'd sacrifice a lot to make it happen.

But in a small wardrobe, you're much better off going with trousers in solid, staple colors, such as mid-gray, light gray, tan, and cream. These colors visually disappear into the background, making them a natural foil for whatever you want to wear up top.

Any time you're wondering whether you should purchase something, I encourage you to think about how you want to dress. That's because every aesthetic is guided by its own unique set of "rules." Let me give you an example. 🧵

@dieworkwear what are your thoughts on plaid pants? Any recommendations for outfit ideas incorporating them that won't break the bank?

@awprokop People learned the wrong lesson from the 2008 financial crisis when the rescue package was too small and unemployment remained high. Inflation was the concern then too, but it never materialized.

Andrew Prokop@awprokop·
A key reason Biden blundered on inflation is that there was an effective, well-funded, years-long effort to sideline mainstream economists — the people most inclined to warn about inflation— from Democratic policymaking. So by 2021 no one on his team took the threat seriously

@DudespostingWs How is this at all controversial. Becomes much harder in an English pub-style trough type urinal. That's when you just have to say f*** it and let it all hang out. But often you're too sloshed to care.

The affluent Bay Area suburb of Menlo Park (home of Facebook, median home price $2.6M) is planning on turning a couple downtown parking lots into multifamily affordable housing. Predictably, many local residents are absolutely furious.

@GregTSargent It would have been more important in retrospect to explicitly and loudly break with Biden than to craft a specific position. What dragged Harris down more than anything was that she never repudiated anything the Biden Admin did - and Biden is very unpopular!

I think people making this argument should state explicitly what positions they think are permissible to take on immigration to "win" beyond the ones that Harris already took during this campaign.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs

Could not agree more with @AJentleson here: “In politics, winning elections is the moral imperative. You go into this business to change people’s lives for the better. That means changing policy, and to change policy you have to win. Those who would rather lose elections so that they can feel better about themselves leave the real suffering to the people they claim to fight for. No one wins when we lose. It is time to start winning again.”

@franklinleonard Two things are true at the same time. 1. Many MAGA adherents are driven by racial resentment. 2. A much larger group were unhappy with the direction of the country and Biden's leadership. Also, not that it matters, but the biggest victim group in college admissions is Asians.

@MichaelCalifra @DeanBaker13 He's not "making stuff up". We certainly know from polls that the public didn't believe that Democrats had delivered. 70% of the public thinks the country is on the wrong track. Couldn't be clearer.
