The @DetroitCityFC season starts this week, so it’s time for my annual preemptive apology to anyone who follows me on Twitter for economic development policy or other substantive stuff and instead gets a dose of American minor-league soccer supporter culture. #DCTID

Can’t tell me that whoever in the Wings organization looked through the photoshoot and chose this particular photo of Larkin didn’t do so on purpose.

I somehow missed the part of Article II that gives the executive branch the power to micromanage corporate hiring practices across the country.
Our message to corporate America is simple: We’re not going to let you lay off American workers so you can replace them with cheap foreign labor.

I really can’t emphasize enough how mad I am at AI for stealing the em dash from me. I was an em dash guy long before ChatGPT, and now every time I use one I wince knowing someone will think I’m a hallucinating robot. This is actual cultural appropriation.

"We need libertarians" lol
Maybe they should have thought of that before doing tariffs, wars, taking equity stakes in dozens of private companies, deporting non-criminal immigrants, jawboning media companies, and gunning down American citizens in the streets as they protested
These midterms are the most consequential of our lifetime.
The left is going to turn out. They’re angry, they’re radical, they’re extreme, and they’re unified by hatred for Donald Trump.
We need conservatives, libertarians, moderates, and ordinary commonsense Americans to show up. If we show up and unify, we can grow our majorities in both the House and Senate.
It’s all about turnout.

Jason Benetti gets absolutely roasted by his own production crew with the camera cut after his Austro-Turkish War reference. 🤣

Let's just call it Zach McKinstry Field, as he's played the fifth-most games at third base for the Tigers this season.

What @johnmoz said here applies to a staggering amount of government spending. So many programs and policies don’t even pass the Econ 101 test, let alone more rigorous analysis.
"(Corporate welfare programs) are more correctly assessed using the tools of political science than of economics. When you do that, they all start making sense. They make no economic sense because they're not economic tools, they're political tools."

Wait, Calipari's suddenly concerned about "student athletes?" The guy who's had multiple NCAA tournament runs vacated for playing guys who were later found to be academically ineligible?
Just got back from a few days in DC meeting with lawmakers. The Protect College Sports Act is not perfect but we need to end this chaos now. We need stability or we will lose sports and lose opportunities for student athletes.

I'd like to see everyone who was (rightfully) up in arms over Hunter Biden's influence peddling be just as mad about Don Jr.'s wedding being paid for by a Vladimir Putin minion who's too blatantly corrupt for even the *INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE* to tolerate.
New: Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of wedding expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish wedding, including renting out a private island and paying for the fireworks show. propub.li/4xTBcxt
