So much for polling (again). Stevens and El-Sayed are in a close race for Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed are in a close race for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan. apnews.com/article/mi...

Move to the Center, My Ass - by @leftjabs.bsky.social Trump doesn’t have to be on the ballot to be everything the midterms are about. www.leftjabs.com

Well my comments of a few days ago sure didn’t age well. I’ve never been happier to eat my words. This race is definitely winnable with three 3 months to go. 2026 Michigan Senate - Rogers vs. El-Sayed www.realclearpolling...

Well this is troubling. Gemini seems to be blocked from answering the simplest political questions like who's running in Michigan

Well, we can kiss that Michigan Senate seat goodbye. Great work, puritopians! Rogers holds double-digit lead over El-Sayed, tied with Stevens (who will lose this primary) in Michigan Senate poll

Ive been totally focused on this for years. I am always looking for good books to help illuminate the dark network of ruling “aristocrats” who are so removed from real human existence; lost in their personal, carefully crafted bubble-world; where they can feel like the gods they “deserve” to be…

This is a GREAT article. Everyone needs to understand this history and these current events.

Someone said "witch hunt" and Laura showed up.

This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."

Nothing says scurrilous Republican Senate shit show like the utterly execrable Laura Ingraham in the gallery.

OFFS, Ross Douthat is grossly overrated even for grossly overrated Republican pundits. @CBS seems to be on a crusade to redefine @driftglass’ “dumpster fire” to mean “anything associated with @CBS news.”

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · last wk.

It is sad to see what CBS has become. If you want to support pro-democracy independent media that will not back down or make excuses for the Trump administration, subscribe to Democracy Docket today. demdock.com/4wbp1va

DAMN, For the first time in about 30 years a Democrat is within striking distance in Florida. Please please please @DNC, Get your mega donors to throw money at this race. Flipping Florida will Have long coattails.

I still believe this is one of the most important articles that most Americans have never read. How a Brutal Strain of American Aristocrats Have Come to Rule America The worldview of the old Southern aristocracy can now be found nationwide. truthout.org/articles...

As I predicted, the GOP is orgasming over the delusional crap that Megan Romer said, so leading into our critical mid-terms all we’ll be talking about is how Dems are not socialists. All we should be talking about is Trump and the price of gas, coffee and ICE murdering us in the streets.

Google Gemini has got to be the worst AI on the market. It gets everything wrong almost all the time. Especially about Google’s own products. Never trust anything it says without asking it to verify What it just told you. It will inevitably correct itself. It’s just a totally awful product.

As I keep telling anyone who listens, my friend @marmel.bsky.social is a force of nature, and the archetypal decent human being. This is just another example of his awesome goodness run amok.

BIG shoutout to my pal @marmel.bsky.social! Doing good for the community. Bravo, Steve!

Generic ballots are often misleading, but often isn’t always, and I stopped predicting the end of the GOP after Iraq. Still, we can hope that THIS time the Republicans have finally screwed the pooch. But I’d still call it a long shot.

I worry that they are moving so fast—and that the media has been so bizarrely silent—that the “new global order” (Pax Silica) will be in place (& impossible to unwind) before the public knows anything about it. Thread. #PaxSilica 1/

Pretty accurate description of Ames and Taibbi, only they decided to keep cosplaying as "leftists"

Holy shit, THAT is a fucking LEDE

Other people do not exist for Trump as actual, separate human beings. He sees and treats them as “self objects” that exist only to benefit (or to threaten) himself. Hence his willingness to put his own words into the mouths of dead soldiers.

Trump on fallen US troops: "All of them said very strongly, 'We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'"

A friend just got an MRI at Walter Reed and is now trapped there because Cheeto Nero has been brought in again so they're locked down. Is today the day?
