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.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
"I love America, but loving America is not just dressing up in some colors and pretending everything is fine." Abdul El-Sayed giving a tremendous speech right now about the promise of this country, despite its many flaws.
One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d agoIt was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.
I'm not going to be relitigating COVID lockdowns or mask mandates. Both were necessary measures that saved lives. If you cannot accept the curtailing of even the minor of freedoms in the name of public safety, you have demonstrated that you do not give a solitary fuck about the rest of us.
Forever a part of our history. Forever grateful. Thank you, La Piedra 💪💙
JULIOOOO my goodness 😭😭😭😭 this is how you make a fan for LIFE
MARINERS WIN! MARINERS WIN! Never in doubt. Win the series, two walk-offs in a row. What a team!
Oh Josh. That's going to make the highlight reels, but not the ones you want to be on.
This was cute and also gave me a pain in my guts. I hate the idea of losing Kirby.
Josh@josh-c.bsky.social · 3d agoIf this is Kirby's last game as a Mariner at least we got a smile out of him.
The devastation is unimaginable. I moved here 3 years ago knowing Spokane would be my home. I can’t explain how horrific this is. “It’s like a war zone,” people told me.
Just to be clear, I reported an exhaustive piece about the allegations against Max Miller on July 18. The New York Times published their story, without crediting me, on July 28. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller
Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

Does anybody have any questions about my reporting on Congressman Max Miller and the allegations he faces?
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.
I have countless loved ones are on the northside of Spokane. Not only is it NOT normal for the west to burn, this is actually fucking insane.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 4d agoHoly crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.
this is incredibly abnormal and scary. always a possibility this decade, extremely bizarre to experience in real time. we’ve got important stuff loaded in the car, not going anywhere at the moment because by all accounts traffic is already very bad www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Ah, this warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart. Wait til you see the price a TERF had to pay for lying about a trans woman. "...also be required to publish a court-approved apology that must remain pinned on their social media channels for three months" www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/an-a...
An anti-trans activist lied about a trans athlete injuring cis women. Now she has to pay the price. - LGBTQ Nation
Kirralie Smith admitted in court she didn't have any evidence to back up her claim about a trans woman injuring two cis women.

Wait, it’s August???????????? WHO APPROVED THIS, omg??????
Wow! If Harrison Bader had a nickel for every time he drove a scooter into a parked car and jeopardized his baseball career, he'd have two nickels-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
Amanda Mull@amandamull.bsky.social · 5d agoMy bf is a Giants fan and this coming out one fact at a time over several hours last night was fun. “He was already injured and got hurt out drinking…on a scooter…which he crashed…into a truck? …a FIRE ENGINE? …IT RAN OVER HIS FOOT? HE DID THE SAME THING IN COLLEGE??” nypost.com/2026/07/31/s...
