BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

I hadn't heard of Library Dads before Connie Willis mentioned them in a post. Just knowing they exist makes me so damn happy. Well done, gentlemen. www.thelibrarydads.org

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.

Leftists are supposed to wait for a more convenient season for change. Getting the most votes in elections just shows how out of touch they are with most voters.

Leftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.

Sign o' the times.

Really weird to me how incredibly rich white men get to say stuff like "in three to four years we'll be achieving nuclear fusion from honey" and the stock markets go "wow, sounds great bro!" and the news just reports it with maybe a paragraph at the end of "critics say this is unlikely".

I did not have 'Ben Shapiro talking about his sister's big (naturals?)' on my bingo card for this morning. Clearly I need to widen my horizons. And maybe have another cup of coffee.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

i'm starting to think people might be sick of democrats who view voters' will as a kind of cute larp unrelated to whatever they, the real protagonists of reality, do in the district

There's some really good stuff happening tonight.

Incredible. Not only are Kansas voters rebuking their Republicans' amendment, Missouri voters have just done the same. The Missouri' GOP's Amendment - which would make citizen-led, state constitutional amendments near impossible - has FAILED.

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

University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.

We were already worried because the NIH has not been following that process, opting not to include external scientists on the search committee. But sadly, even the watered down process was completely scrapped to install someone ideologically aligned with RFK. This weakens NIH substantially.

Blindingly obvious that this is targeted at “degrees we think women get.”

This is a delaying tactic to keep GOP from dumping him before the end of today which is the deadline for declaring a new primary. He's stated he will not resign/step down from running. If they accept this tactic it's a passive-aggressive out from trying to replace him with a more viable candidate.
