Massholes Against Moulton! Please enjoy this thread!

Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social · 22h ago

I am seeing this exact exchange playing out across social media. Moulton going so low is turning away voters.

This is exactly what I was saying - in Michigan, at least, he's totally right. For a whole lot of folks here, the stereotype - which is still a generalization and a stereotype - is "competent, careful doctor with an accent" rather than the more negative tropes the GOP wants to label him with.

This is incredibly upsetting. And like so many things in this administration - no real process, no responsiveness, no transparency, no clarity - I'd bet they don't even know what they're doing as they drive heavy equipment out there.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The board of a Michigan township agreed to rezone a terrain to make way for a data center. Residents opposed to the data center forced a vote on the matter, and they blocked the rezoning tonight: www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

When I hear the commercials saying we need new progressive ideas, my first thought is Ed Markey. I do not trust Seth Moulton.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 2d ago

In the MA Senate debate, both candidates were asked about whether they believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza. Ed Markey said quickly and clearly "Yes." Seth Moulton never actually answered the clear yes/no question.
