One way to get AIPAC money out of Democratic politics is to make it irrelevant. Lighting $30m on fire isn't sustainable and at some point the spigot will dry up.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.
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.
Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?
Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

With AIPAC spending $60m to lose to El Sayed, they are now the frontrunners to chair the DNC.
Doing this bullshit in a D+9 environment is fucking insane, man. This is a party of losers.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 20h agoGov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona, a Democrat facing a competitive re-election fight, plans to tap a longtime Republican and former mayor of a Phoenix suburb to serve as her running mate, according to people familiar with the decision.
the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close
Humorous to me how, when a Dem candidate is a centrist, the narrative is about how leftists have to grow up and support them. When the candidate is a leftist, the question is whether they can rally adequate support. So some people are responsible for running a winning campaign, you say? Interesting.
Happy Election Night to everyone rubbing the faces of centrist losers and bloodless quants in a big old pile of shit
I think you should be allowed to run a pro-Israel campaign as a Democrat but if you lose you get deported there.
Really bad numbers out for Haley Stevens. Detroit City is her base and she needed to run up the scoreboard with Black voters here. This is going to be an ass-whooping.

I'm wondering if the Yankees are planning on eating the last year of Stanton's deal next season after acquiring Garcia and Ramos. Both are best suited to DH and when a bad contract gets under $30m the Yankees have been willing to eat it.
The Yankees blowing a winnable game with their trash bullpen on the day they refused to upgrade it in any way 👍
Is there any team besides the Dodgers whose fanbase was happy about their trade deadline?

Impressive not to be able to clear the "better than Ali Sánchez" bar at catcher. No help for an overworked bullpen either. A failure of a deadline.
Passanthallich@passanthalbot.bsky.social · 2d ago@JonHeyman tweeted Yankees did nothing beyond what’s been reported
Jack Curry said the Yankees are done. No catcher lmao what a colossal failure from Brian Cashman and company.
