This is the key takeaway: Haley Stevens got everything she could have asked for. AIPAC spent the most it ever has. The party pulled out all the stops. Millions were even spent to spread the false idea that the most popular president in modern US history endorsed her. And it still wasn’t enough.

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

"those unrepentant antisemites voted for the other Jew!" is a hell of a take

I would say disappointing from Alvin Bragg and Tish James but they've already diagraced themselves countless times since Eric Adams took office in '22 Dishonorable mentions also go to Mark Levine and Jumaane Williams www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/08/03/d...

Two Years After Federal Raids, an Eric Adams Power Couple Seeks Podcast Fame

Former Schools Chancellor David Banks and ex-First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright have snagged top New York officials as podcast guests, despite the lingering cloud of Adams-era investigations.

Gillibrand is a good example of a mind and spirit turning to sludge when one’s entrenched bigotries and corrupt interests consolidate in higher office.

Also worth noting: Luis Garcia was an everyday 2B prior to this year

Passanthallich@passanthalbot.bsky.social · 3d ago

🔁 @Ken_Rosenthal retweeted @BrendanKutyNJ In this scenario for the Yankees, Luis García Jr. would almost definitely become the 1B vs. righties with Rice as the DH. Goldschmidt plays only vs. lefties. Then you figure whatever else out when Stanton comes back.

Former Republicans are going to be junior partners in any Democratic coalition, I really do not understand the arrogance of someone so stupid they needed literal Hitler to become president to think they’re going to be handed the reins.

This is the ad Haley Stevens is running to close the campaign lmaooo

If you walked the streets of Queens and asked 1,000 people "Who is Donovan Richards?" approximately 5 could answer the question

Between pointed criticism from Donovan Richards in Queens and Vanessa Gibson and Oswald Feliz in the Bronx, Mamdani faces growing displeasure from elected Dems in the outer boroughs. And the rebukes have struck a nerve with Mamdani's team. w/ @ryrivard.bsky.social www.politico.com/newsletters/...

lmao Troy Jackson trolled Republicans about logging policy in the Bangor Daily News comments under the alias "Canadians for LePage"

Troy Jackson ran anonymous account to troll Republicans online | CNN Politics

In 2012, Troy Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics. An outspoken Democratic state lawmaker, Jackson openly feuded with then-Republican Gov. Paul LePage.

In fairness to Jazz the Yankee also lose close games because Trent Grisham can't even move a runner to 3rd (would have scored on Rice's long flyout). Grisham having a horrendous year.

How did the Yankees blow a 4 run lead? For starters they didn't score after the 1st inning. Once again, Jazz strands a runner on 3rd with one out. Chisolm is batting .183 with RISP (32 K) over 93 AB this season.

Angel Chivilli might not lead the league in scoreless appearances like Brent Headrick (6-1, 1.33 ERA) or have 57 IP (1.83 ERA) like Paul Blackburn but Chivilli has been a key part ot the Yankees' run. He's given up 1 ER in 13.2 IP (0.66 ERA). Another scoreless sparkler tonight on his birthday.

Post a perfect album from the 90s

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

tfw you rank 118th among position players in WAR on July 25 and the league is wondering if the Blue Jays will break up your "contender" team because you cost $500 million to produce a bit less than Trent Grisham Take a bow, Vlad Guerrero Jr

Shout-out to the last-place Blue Jays (12.5 gms behind) who sit 9 gms under .500 Second shout-out to loudmouth Vlad who has 22 XB hits (6 HR) and a sad .693 OPS One hit wonders? Flukes? Yes. Yes, they were. On the bright side no one has to pretend John Schneider is a good manager anymore

No thank you, Vladdy???

When people talk about NYC "regulations" they're often talking about crony kickback schemes (usu involving the NYPD) made famous by Eric Adams and the many headed-to-jail hacks he surrounded himself with

Did Headrick the other day, so it's Paul Blackburn appreciation time. His last 15 appearances: 23.2 iP 9 hits 2 ER 0.68 WHIP Obviously he bailed out Volpe's sloppy play tonight and earned every bit of the win. Blackburn now at 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 54 IP. Hard to be better than that.

lol Altuve grounded into a triple play and it wasn't even close at first base

THE @MARLINS TURN A TRIPLE PLAY 🚨

Since 2020, at least 51 ICE and CBP officers, agents, and contractors have been convicted or accused of sexual misconduct — 34 of them for crimes against children. These are the masked men kidnapping women and children off the street into unmarked vans and disappearing them into concentration camps.

How the Yankees got Brent Headrick, who's 5-1 with a 1.43 ERA and leading MLB w/ 50 appearances: Off the waiver wire in Feb '25. Our boy has inherited 30 runners and only allowed 3 to score. He's got a 1.9 fWAR, 9th among all relievers and 4th best of any NYY pitcher. Just an incredible year.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

it's not as embarrassing as the new yorkers with gillibrand but yeah
