if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
NBC is the only org to have called AES' win yet but he's posting all "thank you michigan I'm honored to be your democratic senate candidate" like I want him to win but I uhhhh don't love this behavior
if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take
Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
okie dokie time to go to bed I'm sure everyone will be super normal tomorrow about the results of the MI dem senate primary. right? right????????????
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I prefer bluesky for politics every day except on michigan politics days because no one on the internet knows anything about my specialest boy state except me
everything ive learned about that very online wisconsin lady has been against my will but I gotta say its pretty funny
friend and i came to the realization that if we want to work in government in 2029 we'll probably have to be friends with campaign staffers in 2027-28 and the dread that filled us was truly existential

not that this would excuse her racism but haley stevens isn't even jewish
Rep. Haley Stevens posted a bizarre and racist rant against opponent Abdul El-Sayed over his criticisms of AIPAC — even as her campaign has already faced pushback for bigoted attacks. Stevens said that “[e]veryone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.”
my bf and I have been together for like 8 months now so i guess im not a new girlfriend anymore but I was single for like 5 years before this so everything feels new but anyway a new-ish feeling is, am I being a crazy girlfriend or is this a reasonable thing to be upset about and I DONT KNOW
"i know i dont seem like the typical influencer im so grateful i get to do this" and its a pretty white girl in nyc. ok then

"Even if the number of data centers increases tenfold, we may still end up using less water on artificial intelligence than we use [to water our lawns/golf courses]." Hi, quick question: the hyperscalers are planning to spend like $7 trillion building datacenters. It that a lot or a little?
free joke idea: something about zohran living in people's heads rent-free and his policies towards housing/landlords
