The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 17h agoSeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
"decent road curd" is going to rattle around in my head for weeks

Did you know that it’s not too late to register to vote? Bring proof of residency to your city or township clerk’s office TODAY until 8 p.m. and cast your ballot. mi.gov/vote
BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO HAVE SOMETHING COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ME AND ALSO BELIEVE IT IS A GENIUS LEVEL INTELLIGENCE AND NOT JUST A MACHINE MADE TO AGREE WITH ME. I AM VERY SMART AND NOT GULLIBLE AT ALL.
it's honestly amazing how many people are this susceptible to a machine that condescendingly flatters you
Here is a full list of every state that DOJ had sued and lost for access to their voter file: Arizona California Connecticut Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
It's genuinely insane that it's a mainstream belief that the problem with COVID was that we did *too much* to address it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Rep. Ogles: "Look, I don't want to play down the effects of the virus, but at the end of the day it had a roughly 1 percent mortality rate. We coulda gotten through this."
After a lifetime of public service and dedication to the health of Americans and people around the world it is obscene that Dr. Anthony Fauci is being forced to sit in front of this Congressional committee and face these absurd accusations.
1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
Very critical issues for Michigan voters
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "The parks are getting all new grass. I have a man who's a fantastic man, one of the biggest grass-growers. He's actually a very rich guy. He wants to fix up the parks. All brand new grass. He donated the grass for the WH. We're building a heliport & a great ballroom & a military facility..."
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Another long night. But I am just going to end the day by leaving this here.

Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 2w agoJudge Claria Horn Boom, a Trump appointee in Kentucky, has denied the administration bid to obtain Kentucky's voter rolls, the latest in an unbroken string of legal defeats on this issue. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"They were careless people. They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” This man did incalculable damage, while 'carried away.'
Someone on Jon Ossoff's team needs to put out a video of him competently doing dumbbell squat presses, like tomorrow Pretty sure Hegseth's rage would launch him into space like a Loony Toons character

The temperature dropped 11 degrees between me leaving the gym and getting home - a 5 minute drive. I'm not mad about it
I think the most underestimated source of elite radicalisation is that ordinary people can call you a moron directly when you say stupid shit online. Sends wealthy and powerful people in to spirals every time.
Ezra Klein: I'm just saying that I worry that the Rebellion is losing the argument. Princess Leia: ...what? Klein: Well, murder. They blew up all those stormtroopers in the death star. Leia: After it blew up Alderaan... Klein: And I get that, I do, I just think the response sends the wrong message.
Trump says noncitizen voting is a widespread Democratic plot to influence elections. A Reuters data analysis reveals a far different picture: a small number of often inadvertent violations.
I remain grimly fascinated by how a YouTube channel that has the backing of The Washington Post (ok, it’s the Post’s dreadful Opinion section, but still) can spew out more than 300 videos and still can’t find even 1,000 subscribers.
WE HAD THE WHOLE PLANET DOING OPERATION PAPERCLIP ON THEMSELVES! FOR FREE! NOT EVEN FOR FREE, WE MADE THEM PAY US TO DO IT! “THANK YOU FOR STEALING OUR BEST CHILDREN, AMERICA”, THEY WERE SAYING, “CAN WE ALSO GIVE YOU MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BESIDES”! YOU! STUPID! BITCH!
