Yeah I think this is the one thing sticking with me too. If you’re gonna go nuclear in the primaries and call the guy an antisemite, then what does it mean when you cheerfully endorse him? Were you lying then, or are you cool with endorsing an antisemite now?

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

POLITICO: MI REP HALEY STEVENS (D-11) HAS CONVERTED TO ISLAM

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.

my takeaway from AES winning is that he needs to drop anything people liked about him, campaign exactly as if haley stevens won and hate himself and his voters as much as her supporters do - The Politics Whiz

While centrists continue to think Dems need to moderate on abortion, Kansas overwhelmingly rejected a collateral attack on the right to choose via an amendment (which would have switched to elected justices) after overwhelmingly rejecting an amendment to directly ban the right to choose in 2022.

It's official. Kansas Republicans have lost their State Supreme Court referendum attempt, and it won't even be close. Fantastic news.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Really fantastic reporting here centered on the messages exchanged between a mass shooter and ChatGPT. This was a message the chatbot spit back at the guy after he said he wanted to die. Stripped of that context, it feels like an apt summary of the risks chatbots pose with unstable users.

The President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.

The proposed changes to 2CFR200 are a fucking joke and they're going to wreck city and state governments abilities to manage federal funding. Which is probably the point.

We also need a plan to split California into 3 new states.

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.

I was having trouble falling asleep last night so I went out for a run at midnight and it was kinda sick? No cars, super quiet, and I got to see neighborhood cats I'd never seen before.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.

Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is overseeing an operation posting hundreds of blog posts on behalf of Israel, with the goal of infiltrating artificial intelligence.
