Yes, lady coal rolling down Telegraph. If your Lincoln crossover is single-handedly putting Southeast Michigan at risk of an air quality alert you should probably get that checked out.

I think we'll overread into the ideological differences. Democrats are looking for candidates who will meet the moment, speak with moral clarity, and fight. Haley Stevens campaigned like a conventional pol who would do none of those things. Tens of millions in special interest money didn't help.

Excited to no longer have to see Perry Johnson's hair.

Now realizing that there was ONE poll from a NYT-rated pollster after McMorrow dropped out of the race.

Will say that I've never experienced a government service improve more markedly than Michigan's SOS has under Jocelyn Benson. Night and day.

If I'm reading this correctly, Kansas City spent $26.6 million in local and federal taxpayer money per match. Gave FIFA a pass on an estimated $2.6 million of tax revenue on ticket sales per match. AND FIFA is stiffing them on a $1 million payment. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced last year that host cities for the 2025 Club World Cup would receive $1m.

What percentage of the "legitimately needs an affordable truck" segment owns a single-family home with a Level 2 charger and can afford to place a preorder now to wait for delivery until Q3 2027?

When the lie is so brazen even Jeanine Pirro can't abide by it

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterday

MORE CASES DROPPED: Prosecutors are now dropping charges against three more defendants who'd been accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. Jeanine Pirro abruptly abandoned the four cases after investigators concluded that botched work by a contractor was the primary cause of "widespread damage."

FWIW...and it probably isn't worth much...every Democrat I've talked to is either voting for Abdul or was going to vote for McMorrow and is now voting for Abdul.

He cites users' ability to mute & block folks as a positive, which is good. It's also why right wing chuds thankfully can't get a foothold here - b/c they violate community norms & get nuclear blocked out of normal people's timelines. Bluesky isn't a *liberal* bubble - it's a *decency* bubble.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

The Dodgers and teams selling to the Dodgers can both simultaneously suck.

NYT elides class/regional angle, which is the issue. She's from, lives in, and represents the wealthiest/most elitist Detroit suburbs and sounds like a caricature of a mid-Michigan grandmother. Talking about "coastal elites" when you're from Birmingham is pandering. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"

Blatter at least had to pretend to not be corrupt. Infantino is just like "let me know by Sept. 19 if you want to accept the first installment of $20 million in cash no one is ever going to ask about again"

"It works" -- Ron Johnson is using his questioning time to tout hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin 🙃 (I guess we should've put lightbulbs up our assess too 🥴)

Has anyone asked why each FA needs to get the same amount? Why is FIFA’s cash delivery system the same no matter the need of the FA? What for instance does for example the Guam FA do with $40m? This is clearly not a system fit for any genuine purpose. It simply allows the incumbent to lavish gifts.

Congress can't even do its own job, man.
