He's right. We should assume the race will be close and work hard to re-elect Senator Ossoff!

Two Republican mayors from the reddest parts of Georgia are breaking ranks to back Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection bid, telling the @ajc.com that the Democrat’s work for their communities outweighs partisan differences. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Why 2 GOP mayors are crossing party lines for Jon Ossoff
Valdosta Mayor Scott James Matheson and Tifton Mayor Julie Smith aren’t household names, but their willingness to cross party lines signals a weakness for Mike Collins.

“Character matters.” U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff picked up the endorsement today from former U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican whose clashes with President Donald Trump prompted him to back other prominent Democrats. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake backs Jon Ossoff, saying ‘character matters’
The Arizona Republican has been one of the loudest critics of President Donald Trump. He says Ossoff's character outweighs any policy disagreements they might have.

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal fought alongside US Special Forces in his home country of Afghanistan, and survived. It was instead ICE custody that killed him. He came legally to the US, where he applied for asylum. He was detained by ICE anyway, and died of an unspecified allergic reaction in custody.

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, 41, suffered “an adverse drug reaction” to an unidentified substance, which triggered anaphylaxis and exacerbated his asthma, the death report shows.

Justice Dems of course was started by Cenk Uygur, who was right-wing, then at least pretended to be left on his The Young Turks show, now is promoting Tucker Carlson. And Cenk gave his nephew Hasan Piker a slot on The Young Turks; Hasan was there during the Justice Dems/Brand New Congress effort.

Ro Khanna has known the woman who runs Track AIPAC since 2017. And for all that time he's been mixed up in what looks awfully like fuckery to try to mess with the far left and push candidates into Congress who can be targets for the GOP. (AOC seems like a backfire - someone actually effective.)

All this stuff is sketchy but Ro Khanna has been part of it for a decade. Track AIPAC is run by Cory Archibald, an expat defense contractor who helped run the Sanders-linked "Brand New Congress" in 2016-2018; they partnered with the Justice Dems, which Khanna joined in 2017 bsky.app/profile/capi...

I did not realize how crooked an outfit "Track AIPAC" seems to be. They appear to list J Street contributions as being part of AIPAC or functionally the same thing. Their "individual expenditures" list seems to include a lot of giving from people who are simply Jews.

because I know y’all can’t click and read
1. "Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing.
Speech is the secondary or overlaid function.
Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
2. Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
3. Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface.
Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
4. Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
5. From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs."

Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.   Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda. 🧵

Fun to see how the erroneous predictions line up with how the crypto super PACs were spending. I've spoken before about how Polymarket — despite its PR claims about being more accurate than polls — is often a better signal of what crypto holders WANT to have happen.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots. This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline. An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION. Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking
Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.
