Finally settled on my contribution: $1,200 plus fees, which is $100 for each of Carson Beck’s 12 interceptions as quarterback of the 2025 Miami Hurricanes. Go Dawgs. @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

Really cool seeing political science professors posting stuff like this

Once again going to recommend that anyone who hasn't read this should go read it:

BLITZER: He put out a statement disavowing any connection to extremism

MOSKOWITZ: Who did? Joe Kent?

BLITZER: Yeah. He said he met this guy on the street

MOSKOWITZ: Okay. Wolf, you and I have not ended up on a Nazi-sympathizer podcast, right? It's not something that accidentally happens

A top Trump aide resigned over Iran. Liberals should stay away from him. Anti-war antisemitism is still antisemitism.

Joe Kent's resignation letter is an antisemitic tract — the ur-text of a "stabbed in the back" myth that could do enormous damage to American Jews

CAR AINT GOT NO ROOF

Texas Representative Tony Gonzales Will Not Seek Re-election Several House members had called for Tony Gonzales to step down after texts emerged showing his pursuit of a staff member who later killed herself.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican accused of coercing a staff member into a sexual relationship before she killed herself, said he would not seek re-election.

Wasserman just called it for Talarico.

Is this the Miami journalist?

What we know so far, 9:30pm:

1. Few final results.
2. In NC, 3 Dems who helped GOP trailing.
3. Crenshaw, Al Green in trouble.
4. Dems close to a leg flip in Arkansas.
5. Cornyn & Talarico narrowly ahead.
6. Close Arkansas supreme court, tho redder counties await.
7. Fort Bend County exec ousted.

Gonna need the folks at @kalshiofficial.bsky.social to work on their math bc ???

Take it from ICE.

Crockett, Talarico raises concerns over election day voting changes Dallas and Williamson counties closed centralized voting centers, which had become a common practice, at the request of local Republicans.

Texas Senate Democratic candidates U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico said they may request extending voting hours in Dallas and Williamson counties after voters were turned away due to changes in voting location rules.

Kuminga, Hawks both needed this kind of joy The smile has returned.

You want more Kuminga Kontent? I got you your Kuminga Kontent.

How he's fit in seamlessly to give the Hawks a major boost during this stretch run. www.peachtreehoops.com/opinion/6920...

This is true, but let's also be clear that Shaun King is a very proud and overt antisemite, so any statement he makes about Jews should be seen through the lens of someone who is not making a good faith argument.

This is just another game from him, and in many ways a tamer one than most.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

NEW from @nytimes: Senior Iranian clerics are close to anointing Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a US-supported Israeli attack, as the next leader of Iran. He’s the favorite candidate of the IRGC, a powerful military group. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

Wars have consequences. And if the Trump White House was unprepared for the eventuality that the Fanatics Flag Football Classic might need to find a new venue, they never should’ve launched those missiles.

Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: “Public opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

Breaking News: The father of a teenage boy who is accused of a deadly mass shooting at his Georgia high school in 2024 was found guilty of failing to heed warnings about his son and allowing him access to the assault-style rifle used in the attack, killing four people.

Happy election day to those who celebrate!

The guide you need: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

The thread you need:

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Netanyahu denies pushing Trump into action against Iran ‘You don’t have to drag him into anything. Donald Trump is the strongest leader in the world. He does what he thinks is right for America,’ Netanyahu said in his first interview since the operation began

In his first interview since the U.S. and Israel launched their joint military campaign against Iran, Netanyahu defended the timing of the operation’s launch and rebuffed the notion that he decisively pushed Trump to take action.

Gotta point out here that this is another nail in the coffin for treating social media as a proxy for man-on-the-street interviews.

They saw France bust down the doors of X for being pedophiles and immediately started developing the national sex crime VPN.

Might gotta upgrade this year
