I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

Democrats shouldn't be the party of anti-democratic power grabs and denying elections. Enough is enough. Our full statement:

This June, Brooklyn Democrats elected 22 District Leaders from the Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition who had pledged to bring a new era of leadership to a Brooklyn Democratic Party that for too long has been weak, corrupt, and visionless.

Those 22 District Leaders make up a majority of the 42-member executive committee that will elect the party chair once they are seated at the party’s yet-to-be-announced organizational meeting. Last month, the Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition announced their united intent to elect Julio Peña III as the new party chair.

Today, the outgoing party chair, Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, announced a vague plan to throw out the party rules and pack the executive committee with more than two dozen of her handpicked party officers so that she can overrule Brooklyn voters and hang on to her position. This would be a flagrantly anti-democratic power grab, a return to the worst days of bossism — Vito Lopez tried the same trick two decades ago before he resigned in disgrace. It would go against everything our party should stand for. All Democrats should reject it.

At a time when faith in politics is at an all-time low, our party should be working to rebuild trust with voters, not telling them once again that their voices don’t matter. The Trump Republican Party is the party of lawlessness, of authoritarian leadership, and of denying election results. Democrats must be better.

Our party should be focused on winning elections in November. We have competitive races right here in Brooklyn, across NYC, and statewide. Yet the party chair is once again showing she is only concerned about herself, threatening to throw the party into chaos and sapping attention and resources away from great candidates who want to deliver for the people of New York. This adds to a long history of feckless leadership that includes botched endorsements, borrowing and spending huge sums of money to kick other Democrats off the ballot while raising nothing to support Democratic candidates in competitive general election races, and repeated allegations of corruption.

Enough is enough. We call on Assemblymember Bichotte Hermelyn to withdraw this anti-democratic scheme before she does even more damage to the Democratic Party and to the public’s trust in our elected leaders. And we call on every Democratic elected official in Brooklyn and beyond to stand up and make sure our party respects the will of the voters. Our party needs an orderly transition of power, following the rules, so we can organize and win in November.

Trump also didn’t make “huge gains” with the young. The DNC alienated younger voters, which reduced their turnout (increasing Trumps share in comparison) but that’s not the same as Trump gaining NEW young voters, and is a failure of the DNC/Harris campaign to not listen to constituents.

Hey Bud, I actually READ the report you’re referencing and it really doesn’t say what you think it does. Seniors are the most consistent and majority of Trump voters in every election.

Graph showing who people voted for based on birth year. Those born in the 1950s or before are the largest share of Trump voters

Graph showing a breakdown of who people voted for based on Age and Age/Gender. Men over 50 are the largest Trump voters, with those over 50 regardless being majority Trump voters overall.

Another graph showing voter coalition by age. In the last three elections, those over the age of 50 account for at least 60% of Republican voters.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."

But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.
