Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

"A huge moment in our country." Former Michigan Congressmember Andy Levin, who lost to Haley Stevens in a 2022 House race that included a flood of AIPAC spending against him, responds to Tuesday's Democratic primary results in the state.

“Are you okay, ma’am?” “I think I swallowed my router.” “Here, take my seat.”

I think this shows polling is untrustworthy. I believe that the case for Stevens being “more electable” is … polling. This suggests to me that maybe we should back the candidate with a vision and fresh ideas who can win without corporate money against a PAC gorged candidate.

Was this wrong? “But that marginal lead was a far cry from what El-Sayed and his allies had expected. Public polling in the campaign’s closing stretch showed El-Sayed ahead of Stevens by double digits. And his campaign projected confidence they would deliver a decisive win”

Mad king much?

Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Oh my god I think I found the video.

JUST IN: The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Jeanine John Taele, 38, was taking photos and video and had a 16-round magazine with ammunition in his pocket.

"The loneliness epidemic" is a predictable outcome of extreme wealth inequality.

We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

BREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Sen. Dick Durbin says Todd Blanche lied under oath at his confirmation hearing. The Illinois Democrat says Blanche privately admitted, in front of Senate staff, that Trump’s anti-weaponization fund was a mistake. Then Blanche denied making that admission when questioned publicly.

The overt market manipulation by Trump is a crime. If there were a functioning SEC people would have already been arrested.

Turn your battles into blessings. At 19, I lost both of my parents. I was bullied. I faced depression and anxiety while learning to navigate life as an autistic person. I don't have family to lean on, but I've been blessed with friends who became my family.

Bloomberg "The Close" does a special "stock of the hour" segment on ebay without mentioning the recent acquisition offer once at 10 min to close. Then the much-maligned would-be acquirer is also just about the biggest loser of the day but no mention in staple gainers/decliners daily segment.

There's regular wrong and there's this degree of wrong:

Thoughts?! 👇

Bill Maher said he'd rather vote in Sarah Palin for President over some Socialist Democrats, and I'd rather watch Saved By The Bell on a loop, all day, rather than waste one single minute listening to his pretentious drivel.

Just a make-pretend fig leaf moment for the cowardly holdout senators who don't actually stand for a damn thing.

So my tax dollars are now directly backstopping the Yen carry trade? Do I have that right?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

What's the fraction of trading volume in Dark Pools where it stops being a "Market"?

The GOP goes on about protecting women in sports and then goes on to protect Max Miller.

try telling it some knock knock jokes
