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.
After being contacted by WIRED, an Apple spokesperson says that it has removed MaskAI from the App Store for violating policies against nudification apps, and the company has “always strictly prohibited apps designed to generate, distribute, or consume pornography.” www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

Since MAGA brought up Covid again..Some MAGA brains thought this was a good argument.

Home-Building Is Sputtering, but Lumber Prices Haven’t Been So High in Years
Steep duties on Canadian lumber, wildfires and sawmill closures have cut supply and pushed up prices.

The worst brand of weirdos are the "Let me defend data centers" crowd.
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
breaking a baby’s collarbone isn’t a bridge too far!!!!! i know i shouldn’t be surprised but FUCK that’s too dark for my soul to handle
Yeah, that’s what the people of Ohio need. A man that would blackmail his wife’s father after beating up on her and their child. Good upstanding Republican.
Thune and Johnson refusing to comment because this is a ‘private family matter/normal divorce drama’ is sure being undermined by Moreno and Miller publicly trashing each other. Pick your fighter, guys, cuz this is getting filthy.
They are sadists. Why go to therapy when they can get off on making people suffer?
🚨 Rep. Max Miller again alludes to blackmail material he has on Sen. Bernie Moreno: "He felt the political pressure because some of the rumors that were circulating about him that he doesn't want to get out. I have no intention of sharing what will eventually become public."

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.

Not getting to tell a mayor what to do does not mean you are “shunned.” Any of these crybabies can call 311 if they have a problem with something happening in the city, just like the rest of us. They should try it, it’s actually a pretty cool system.
New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
It gives me hope that democrats may be waking up as they voted for Abdul El-Sayed. We don't want corporate Democrats. We want people who work for us. The corporations spent 60 million on Haley Stevens. They may as well scream that money is more important than people. We the people still won this one
Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.
Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.
