good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.
Today, a gallon of regular gas costs $4.230 in DC - $5.651 for diesel. Last year at this time, it was $3.338 & $3.850. In Nebraska, today’s averages are $3.906 & $4.953. Last year, they were $2.918 & $3.485.

Just read that a dude I knew at K-State has been LtGov and is running for congress from KS01. What a piddly little magat bootlicker… all you need to know about Tracey Mann is right here.
Tom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley, Piyush Amrit Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal, Raphael Edward Cruz ran as Ted Cruz, & who knows what JD Vance's actual name is. But yes the real issue is Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is running as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

A white Christian leader killed his wife & 6 kids. Why is no one asking: -Is this an honor killing? -What is it about white culture that creates this violence? -Where was he radicalized? Imagine he was Black, Muslim, or an immigrant. This is how media enables white supremacy & fascism. Reject it.
Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

I want companies that have profited from contracts with ICE to go out of business. I want companies that have gone all in on AI to go out of business. I want companies that cause nationwide diarrhea outbreaks to go out of business. I want companies that give money to fascists to go out of business.
