I’ve been saying for probably a year Kansas Senate could be in play, because of the year, & because Marshall is such a bad candidate. And that was before I knew we’d have such a strong candidate, & before I knew Roger Marshall was even worse than I thought.

Ah yes the GOP president is doing rallies in Alabama and we are obviously looking at an election where democrats will once again lose. Your dooming is 100% justified and not absolute absurdity at this point.

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

This is the Siena MI poll. I laughed & imagined a room of 100 Black people. They’re asked who strongly disapproves. 98 hands go up. Somewhat disapprove? 1 guy—definitely a guy—raises his hand. Most people look at the floor shaking their heads but about 20 are burning holes through him w their stares

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

it's easy you simply put it on a train to st Petersburg then on to a sanctioned bulk carrier which sails to a us port which has no potash facilities whatsoever, then somehow transfer to trains and then on to the final destination

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Julia Ioffe: Who is Umar Kremlev, who paid for part of Donald Trump Jr's wedding? Turns out, he's the business front of Vladimir Putin's chief body guard, one of the most powerful men in Russia. That's about as close as it gets.

Kremlev bankrolled Trump’s Bahamas wedding afterparty. He’s also a former Kremlin biker gang member and reputed proxy for Putin’s bodyguard.

I appreciate the practical assault on malignant silliness. But it’s not only federal offices. Many people have safe federal representatives but have vulnerable Dem or Repub state officeholders. And in terms of your money & volunteer time state races may be your best ROI

Also seems relevant that the Governor of Kansas picks people for their Supreme Court nominating commission and then picks which nominee. But not like courts have mattered for trans rights battles, right.

The idea that the way you influence politicians is by withholding your votes for them is just a completely incoherent view that reveals the truth, which is that nobody advocating it thinks electoral politics can possibly succeed *obviously* you lobby politicians *after electing them*

One of the things that political commentators, policy makers, etc. all get very wrong and it's so so stupid is that they conflate issue polling with "this actually makes me vote one way or another."

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

A reminder that the real problem in the supplementation industry is that there is no compound validation in any of it. You are not required to demonstrate the pill someone is taking contains anything on the label and often it doesn't. Of course validation would like double or triple the cost.
