I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.

Great thread. Revive the OTA! This is also why I do not support term limits in Congress (at least not until other issues are fixed), because they would increase the churn and lead to even more reliance on lobbyists to explain complex issues.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

‼️ Weeks before midterms, Texas election officials have discovered that an unknown number of voter registration applications havent been processed due to an error by the DPS. The Texas Association of County Elected Officials say number could be "tens of thousands" - much of them in urban areas.

Error means unknown number of Texas voter registrations haven’t been processed yet

It’s unknown how many prospective voters have been affected.

I just finished TJ Klune's Somewhere Beyond the Sea, and his statement that he wants to be remembered as the Anti-Rowling is remarkable!

I do want to be remembered as something, and it's very specific: not the Antichrist, but the Anti-J.K. Rowling. I want to be her antithesis, her opposite. I want my stories to fly in the face of everything she believes in...People like her—people who believe trans people are somehow lesser—deserve to be shunned until they disappear into the ether.
