Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
The GOP has become just as guilty as trump by covering up his crimes. If anyone is found aiding & abetting a criminal after the crime they can be tried in court.
As I’ve posted before make data centers use solar power. If it’s not feasible make data centers pay for solar power on all the homes & businesses that are affected by their electricity grab.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
This reminds me of the back stage picture of Boris Karloff drinking tea as Frankenstein.
Roddy McDowall chilling on the set of PLANET OF THE APES (1968)
A WWII hero that I never heard about. A rich maharaja took in 1,000 Polish kids during WWII, recreating their home on Indian soil. Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja gave them not just food and shelter, but a chance to be kids while retaining their identity.
The GOP doesn’t care that Blanche is a pedophile protector because they are.
Hey, Congress? Think before you confirm.
Spoiler alert for NYT Mini Crossword I do the NYT game daily. When I do the crosswords I start with the Mini to Midi then the regular. When I get a clue like “Good moral behavior” I always think it’s not related to the Felon/Pedophile.
Democratic Californians have endorsed one time wealth tax for Billionaires. Governor Gavin Newsom opposes this tax. I will not vote for anyone that doesn’t support tax for billionaires. Why is this just a one time tax. Everyone else pays every year. Billionaire can afford to pay annual taxees.
How about the $billions of taxpayer money being on vanity projects.
First it was Iran to push the Epstein files off the front page. Then, when the Iran war turned into a fiasco, it was back to the 2020 election and Covid. Every crisis needs a new distraction.
Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.
I love this painting! Happy Birthday former POTUS Barack Obama! You’re 65 today! Dig that tan suit!
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
The best news about King Charles & Queen Camilla is that they are Dr Who fans.
I’m so old walk the dog was a Yo-yo trick. In the UK Billy’s Bus takes the dogs for a walk. Cute idea yes, but how green is it?
Trump has been building a huge new helipad at the WH. But on Tuesday, workers seemed to be reversing course on the project even though it appeared to be nearing completion. Lockheed Martin is paying to build the helipad as a donation $5M-$6M. Of course he didn’t get Congress permission. NYT
GOP don’t care about being pedophile protectors.
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
The federal restoration project to regild the equestrian statues cost $5.1 million. The 19-foot monuments were covered in a thick layer of 23.75-karat gold leaf following deep structural cleaning and bronze repairs. Of course this was done via a no bid contract. Initial estimate $2.4M 2.7M to???
MacFarlane: We are near the new gold-plated statues the Trump administration unveiled near Memorial Circle, Memorial Bridge, and the Lincoln Memorial. It’s really, really gold.…
Compared to Trump scandals, Nixon’s Watergate scandal was like kids getting caught licking the creme centers out of all the Oreos.
It didn’t take the media this long to treat Nixon as the criminal he was during Watergate.
Data center developer is mad because he doesn’t know how to bribe the town council that won’t meet with him.
A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks
I wish I saw this picture before I renovated my bathroom. Emperor Nero bathtub was carved from a single block of imperial purple porphyry, one of the rarest and most prized stones of the ancient world. Worth over $1B today. Unfortunately this stone is no longer available and I don’t have $1B.

I think the Dem leadership was listening to Michelle Obama when she said when they go low we go high. No disrespect for Mrs. Obama I think she’s an incredibly intelligent woman. Politics is different from every day real life.
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
