The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.
Most athletes I know aren’t too scared of playing against the other gender In fact, I’ve seen young women run circles around guys on the basketball court The real issue with sports is that men, in general, can’t handle losing to women
This isn't an "in hindsight" thing. It's not like people only realized this was bad after the shootings. This app was virtually unanimous in screaming about the Dems who voted for this the day it happened.
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 2d agoIn hindsight, Angie Craig voting for the Laken Riley Act a year before the ICE and CBP shootings in Minnesota was a huge miscalculation.
Imagine Stephen King, circa 1997, putting out daily press releases promoting his anti-gay org while publishing horror books as Richard Bachman. Imagine George Lucas, circa 2007, announcing a billion dollar fund for anti-Muslim lawsuits, then launching 'The Clone Wars.' This is J.K. Rowling today.
Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · 2d agoWorth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
UPDATE: The docket in the SPLC prosecution now reflects a second superseding indictment, listing Heidi Beirich as a second defendant. The indictment itself is not yet available, but the docket reflects multiple conspiracy charges relating to banking activity. Arraignment is set for Aug. 19.

Wait… so Mark Walter and the Guggenheim group unload the Lakers to a Trump family member - Josh Kushner last seen two weeks ago failing to stripmine FIFA. - and Walter & Guggenheim are under a mammoth DOJ and SEC investigation? Watch that “investigation” disappear. This country is being looted.
following several national progressive wins, one socialist rallies an impressive campaign in the center of the country with little help and gets a historic number of votes, losing by a very narrow margin political headlines the next day: Dems Learn Harsh Lesson, Caring About Others Can't Win

“Universities denounced themselves as complicit in systemic racism.” Well yes, my university for example held the charred bones of Black children killed by Philadelphia police and at least one faculty member was using them to teach forensics so yes, gosh, there was some necessary self-denouncing

“They can’t return Nolan to the people calling his name, but they can make sure the internet knows they believe their own children would still be alive. The first act of violence after a Black child dies is sometimes the public’s decision to place the people who loved him on trial.”

When you have an agenda and when you don’t:
The first law of American politics is that pundits will draw sweeping conclusions from a single, narrowly decided result. A race decided by less than 0.5 percent of votes cast: had it gone the other direction, the headlines would be about the unstoppable force of progressive candidates.
Tangentially, I feel the media has tried to reduce the Senate race to centrist vs. progressive, but Peggy has held statewide office for 8 years. Her job requires her to travel all over the state to meet people and support Democratic candidates. The relationships have been built over a long time.
If these numbers hold, I think a big lesson to be learned from the Democratic Senate primary is how you need to have respect for the process. The grassroots of the party are the people who go out and do the work to win elections, and treating them with contempt is playing with fire.
