She could stay and grind. I just don't think she will. IMO.

2026 Midterms ...
Yes, but it's always about what's next with the perpetually in the spotlight personality. You think she's going to be fine pulling an Eddie Bernice Johnson and just grinding in the House for 30 years to be Ranking Member or Chair of a B tier committee?

I see somebody who is losing who is looking for her next angle as a public figure. It's the same old Roy Cohn bullshit that Trump has deposited on this country: All press is good press. Always be attacking. Never Apologize.

You knew they were gonna GRR Martin at some point. That was some of the best television I've seen in a while. I need to sit with the episode for about 15-20 minutes after to digest what I had just seen. GET UP. Indeeed

This falls under my rule about Okalahoma: Always....ALWAYS cheer against Oklahoma. Regardless of what it means for Texas in some potential future game. Because fuck them sooners.

Jesus, I didn't realize Tech was that bad. I stand corrected.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
So, most states have, at best, two high reputation/big sports/greek culture schools. Texas has 3 with Tech, although Tech is a tier 3 to 4 school academically. North Carolina has at least 4 (Wake, NC State, UNC, and Duke). Several SEC states only have one (Louisana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri). As a fun fact, Alabama-Tuscaloosa is actually NOT the big Alabama R1....It's actually UAB. Both Auburn and Alabama are basically Tech from an educational perspective. Texas technically has three top 50 schools for undergrad, Rice, UT, and Trinity, despite being the second most populus state and having oil. Virginia has two big schools, plus a number other schools, each with their own unique cultures and academic qualities across a range of spectrum's. Mason and Madison are in or DMV adjacent, as is Mary Washington. While VCU is in Richmond. William and Mary is equivalent to Rice, not SMU (other than catering to the elite of NOVA, assuming you can get in), but is in a quant location with Williamsburg as opposed to...Houston. But I take your point about big SEC sports factories.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
I said this year's ago, but when I lived in Maryland and Boy#1 was looking at schools, we were very jealous of the breadth and expanse of Virginia's public school offerings: George Mason, James Madison, Old Dominion, Virginia Tech, UVA, VCU, William and Mary, etc. The state has worked very hard to create an attractive and variable public school system whereby each institution has it's own identity and niche. North Carolina has also worked hard to ensure there is a school and a culture for everyone. Maryland more or less invested all of it's apples in College Park and only now it trying to bring it's other campus up in quality. I think UT and A&M treating their partner institutions as secondary citizens until recently has bit them ass to some degree.

I recognize that addiction is serious business and sex/porn addiciton is no bullshit, but I remain mystified that some people do not have the immediate post nut "GET THIS FILTH AWAY FROM ME" reaction.- 2026 Midterms ...
That combined with Trump's antiquated Roy Cohn "All press is good press" view of the media.- 2026 Midterms ...
Dude sounds like he'd be a lot of fun on a trip to Vegas, but not exactly my first choice for running a major state agency.- Trump’s America
We were there for two nights at the end of a cruise. I thought the Old Town was pretty cool. Like a clean-ish French Quarter. Good food. Cheap-ish by DC standards, but not stupid cheap. We also did the Fort/Castle. It was nice, but didn’t really compare to the Moro in San Juan P.R.- Trump’s America
As an aside, when we first started hitting these boats, MAGA talking heads would yell “WHY DOES A FISHERMAN NEED FOUR MERCS!!!” Having just come back from Cartagena, literally every boat in the harbor is running 3-4 Mercs and most are for hire tour and pleasure speed boats that locals take out to the Islands just off shore. Candidly, the Colombian powerboat scene makes Miami look like rowboats on a pond.- Markets still falling like whoa
So is this the new normal: big AI sell offs followed by recovery pumps when BLS “beats” expectations?- Trump’s America
I'm a Gen X texpat. If loving big booty latinas throwing it back and dirty lyrics is wrong, I don't want to be right.- Trump’s America
- Markets still falling like whoa
I never claimed to be good at grammer or proofreading. Their. Feel better.- Markets still falling like whoa
Which is why it's important that people think the stats people are independent and just reporting the data. Once you fire somebody because you didn't like there numbers......well, it kinda calls everything into question.- Markets still falling like whoa
Either they are skeptical, or if the numbers are real, the job market is heating up, inflation is unlikely to abate, and the Fed could keep rates steady for the foreseeable future. Both mean no goldilocks soft landing.- Markets still falling like whoa
It would be extremely on brand for this administration, desperate for good economic news, to cook the books for a higher job number, thus discouraging the Fed from cutting rates until potentially the fall, even as every other economic indicatar (and the footnotes in today's BLS report) show the economy isn't great. Shocked, SHOCKED, the market fell on the news.- Trump’s America
Lol. It's driving him crazy that Carney won't return his phone calls. They must be having a deputy ambassador call him back.- Surly kids who can't get into UT
The problem with the train is it's ultra unreliable, especially the Starlighter (?) which comes up from California and can be 8-12 hours late, but the bus is a great way to get back and forth, and it often picks up at the Eugene Amtrak station. - 2026 Midterms ...
