Hello to my west shore. All you #Packers fans, #Brewers fans, & cheeseheads need to get out and vote in the Wisconsin primary next Tuesday August 11 for candidates that will protect the Great Lakes and work to fund the Knowles Nelson Stewardship Fund. Clean water is life! 🌊🌊

"Prince Ali" is a great song, but every single line is a lie - we learn nothing about Aladdin, and really just set up some mild third act conflict. "Gaston" is an all-timer, and every line is true - and tells us exactly who the townsfolk are and why they will immediately choose violence.

Today in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, I have good news and bad news. Good: An Ashman/Menken song will win! Bad: An Ashman/Menken song will lose. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Very sad to see it’s been 3 years since Tim Anderson got knocked out by Jose Ramirez. Still sad so many believe that punch ended his career when it had been circling the drain already. But popular narratives are what they are. Tim still an all-time fav, very sad he fell apart physically.

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

A healthy economy depends on a lot more than corporate profits — it depends on trust, transparency, and a shared responsibility between businesses and the people they serve. Not price gouging and profiteering. Illinois is stepping in and imposing fairness.

My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.

Families deserve fairness from even the most powerful corporations. During a nationwide affordability crisis, Illinoisans have demanded answers, transparency, and relief to help them make ends meet. We are responding in Illinois.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
