Former J6 Prosecutors Beg Senators To Stop Confirming Election Deniers To Court Seats

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 16h ago

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.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Sorry but the OP is so funny. "Oh you hate AI? Well what if all these things that suck and burn natural resources, and that also stole from you, which you have never used even once went away?" What point is this meant to prove?

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

This is pretty much exactly what happened. The polls dramatically overestimated how he’d do with whites and underestimated how well he’d do with Black voters.

So El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.

🚨 BREAKING: SpaceX, $SPCX, falls 7% in premarket trading.

This is also a big night for Muslim Americans. The U.S. has never had a Muslim senator. The post-9/11 country my generation grew up in has been plagued by rampant Islamophobia—some of that bled into this Michigan race. El-Sayed’s win tonight is a huge deal.

Goodnight

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

Have James Carville and Bill Maher left the Democratic Party yet? Let me be the first to say, "Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight!"

A monstrous waste of money.

Hard to believe so many people still take this fucking idiot seriously

the Politico piece on the brain-drain in right-wing policy shops was good, some fun and revealing comments, but also just kind of like a weather report at this point. this is what they're working with. this is why you get into Republican politics now.

Something I missed in this reporting... Brandon Herrera said in 2023: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they say.” His response...

one might say, "David Ellison, dude, your handpicked choice to run CBS News had no experience whatsoever and was hand-typing error-ridden MAGA agitprop into the teleprompter." to which I reply, I didn't read the article before publishing it! bsky.app/profile/mtsw...

pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything

Going over to a random table of people laughing and talking at a pub and screaming at them that they are insulating themselves from the viewpoints of a majority of voters.

I think not having to deal with Hindutva trolls and bots wishing rape and murder on me and other women the moment we have an opinion they feel makes them "look bad" or their chosen god-deity look bad is maybe the biggest draw of this place.
