Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
NYT: How Trump Won By Not Sending JD
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
People who sat out the election did us all a big disservice but politicians going out there blasting them is counterproductive. Stop acting like angry posters complaining about the situation and start working to get votes in our column. 2024 doesn’t matter anymore.
Imagine being this clear that you hate your employees and expecting it to go well.
Picture of Ben White with his quote “"I DON'T WATCH FOOTBALL." Ben White when asked if he saw Man City's performance
We’d all do ourselves some good tomorrow by following Ben White’s example.
I think City will drop some points but it won’t be tomorrow. They’ll win 3-0 and we’ll be chasing on Saturday, which is fine.
Pretty dumb to disrupt BlueSky, since like 99% of the people here oppose the war, often vocally.
a Trump post that says "has anybody looked at how badly the country of spain is doing. Their financial numbers, despite contributing almost nothing to NATO and their military defense, are absolutely horrendous. Sad to watch!!!"
stupid Trump tweet for many reasons but one of which is that Spain had higher GDP growth than the US over the last year (3% vs 2%)
In my view, John Roberts's most impressive PR accomplishment is persuading an entire generation of Supreme Court commentators that he is anything other than a Republican politician who uses legalese to implement policies that Republican voters want
If Bliowa is back in play, then the GOP is really fucked nationally.

Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is arguably Democrats’ best chance for flipping a Senate seat in 2026.
So of course, Republicans have launched a politically motivated investigation that mirrors his Republican opponent’s attacks
Shout out to 1919 though
Rep. DeGette to RFK Jr.: I am mystified why tackling these issues has taken a backseat to peddling lies about vaccines, slashing vital public health programs, and seeding unfounded fear about Tylenol.
President urges Iran to start peace negotiations by releasing non-existent, AI-generated women some rando posted about on X
He did promise "maximum lethality."
Welcome to the political !!FUN!! Zone, everyone.
It took Dear Leader a LOT of effort to get here, but things go pretty fucking wild when you manage to be this hated.
I suspect there’s some truth in this, but I wonder if the real damage was done last year by choosing to have a small squad. Arteta has rotated well this season, but these issues can be baked in over a long period of time.

How the California Governor’s Race Is Changing Post-Swalwell
Xavier Becerra, who once struggled to gain traction, has found growing support after Eric Swalwell left the race amid sexual harassment allegations

what
Xavier Becerra is, by far, the best choice for CA-Gov and it’s really heartening to see multiple polls showing him viable in the Top-2 primary.
Absolutely. Watching him get traction has been such a relief.
Finally! Glad to see my beloved home state/state of residence for 24 years is coming to its damn senses. Becerra is the correct choice, and I’m proud to have donated to his campaign.
The bbc article is from 2020. Do we know if he’s still doing this?
From what I know of Steyer's history and policies, he doesn't seem to hiding far right Christian supremacist holy war beliefs. But it'd be good to hear him address it more directly.
I don’t know what this is all about (drawing symbols on your hand, really?) but too many of our leaders lack basic common sense. Someone should’ve tipped him off that this is, uh, a problem.

In contrast we do have evidence that Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals was rigged against the Sacramento Kings. There is fire with that smoke.
