Oh so the moon-posting on Threads is way more insane than I thought, this is great.

What’s the single “best” college football game you’ve attended live? Not necessarily due to your rooting interests, but the best/most tense/entertaining game.

Haley Stevens was out with a gracious concession and a commitment to support Abdul El-Sayed within about one hour of the AP call in her race. If she can buck up first thing in the morning, everyone else can. That’s actual political leadership.
I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
what a journey her career has been 😑
Lean In To Fascism
love this level of self confidence in his electoral hopes for JD
JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
all good advice👇 as is realizing you prob don’t know as much about primaries outside your home state as you think, & even then if you don’t know people involved personally you may still end up very surprised down the road…

know your history folks, there are people alive today who fought side by side with Aquaman ✊🫡
Three years ago today the black community came together to help kick off the #MontgomeryBoatBrawl in Alabama.
I saw @briesmith.xyz do a thread on 20 things and it sounds like a great way to start the day. 1. My phone is more powerful than any computer 20 years ago. 2. Unlimited calls & texts are standard features 3. Work from home is expected in many fields 4. EVs exist 5. Solar power for residentials use
If you can't instantly recognize 20 consequential things that are better today than 40 years ago you are a fucking child.

1/3 chance he is plain lying, 1/3 chance his staff is feeding him AI videos, 1/3 chance he hallucinated the thing.
Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)

"Edibles & EDM: the neolibs' bread & circus approach to maintaining the status quo" is the kind of fever dream you can always count on Nathan J Robinson for
I miss when lunatics had to have the courage to yell their crank theories at strangers in public squares
He keeps saying "if there are any minimum standards in politics" and, yeah, if you're still a Republican I guess that's now an "if" question for you.
Moreno on Max Miller: "My daughter lives in constant fear of this man ... you can't fathom what that makes me feel like when the dad's number one job is to protect your kids... if there's any minimum standard for being an elected official, he feels to meet it. I don't care about the politics at all"
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"
this can be weekly viewing & include some actual answers & charges if we give Dems majorities in the midterms….
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Thune: the buck stops anywhere but here
RAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too
