I hate that you have to scroll through that cesspool… you’ve been one of my favorite follows since I first saw you on NFL live… your’s is one my weekly rotation of podcasts… KCSN, New Heights, NGL, and Mina with Lenny lol (Chiefs fan if not obvious 🤷‍♂️)

This seems hypocritical or illogical… simple “spending=success” is stupid but at the same time spending on the right things = opportunity right? So spending on teacher salary (as private schools do) = better results… spending on stability in the home = better results…

What is the breakdown of spending in NYC? Do they count building rent as “public school spending” I’m genuinely curious how the math is calculated… is it teacher salary comparison? Are there schools who spend on “security” that count as public funds?

hmmm do we think maybe there's been some cheapening of the framework around genocide here if it can encompass the pro-Palestinian mayor of New York City.

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Election deniers Cleta Mitchell and Tina Peters want Trump’s commerce secretary to seize voting machines
The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Also before anyone points out that 3 isn’t middle because it’s 1-6 it doesn’t matter, you’re brain with a maximum of 6 will interpret the middle as 3 because mental math always starts at 0… remove the numbers and ask based on color lol

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

We can’t change overnight and the more Dems lose in general elections they’ll continue to believe they’re not “middle” enough instead of the opposite… but it’s still far worse when R’s are in charge… the party needs to change on local level first

I get this 100% but in general elections we don’t have a choice other than avoiding worst case scenario… if national ranked choice voting was a thing we’d be much better off but unless that happens we need to keep pushing primaries left but supporting generals regardless…

Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor. His blood is on their hands.
A picture of a young black man, dressed in a light blue suit with a smart black bow tie, smiling as he is handed a diploma from a school official, a white man in his 40s-50s who is also smiling. Underneath is the caption “Pierre Damas Bel receives his high school diploma. (Family Photo/Instagram)”Bel arrived in the United States in 2024 in order to reunite with his parents, who had fled Haiti three years before. The family was granted temporary protected status, purchased a home in Springfield and settled into life in the U.S. Bel dreamed of studying medicine and graduated high school last May with honors and as a proud member of the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC), his father said. He was the eldest of three siblings and his family described him as smart and responsible.
