it's really happening, isn't it www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old former attorney and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, unseated longtime Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, marking the seventh time a House incumbent has lost to an intra-party challenger this year.

Kiros leads DeGette 51-42 as of early Wednesday, with a third candidate, University of Colorado Regent Wanda James, taking 7%. The Associated Press estimates that 94% of the vote has been reported, but while the margin may shift as remaining ballots are tabulated, Kiros’ victory is not in doubt. She’s now the overwhelming favorite to win the general election in the dark-blue 1st District, which includes nearly all of Denver.

Nearly the entire media parroted Susan Collins' statement that she has a "Benign Essential Tremor." The correct medical term is "Essential Tremor" because it's not benign and coincides with higher rates of dementia www.kenklippenstein.com/p/why-is-sus...

It’s not because of the major media coverage

The Artemis II mission seems good because it is. People seem excited by it because they are. It looks like a testament to the value of teamwork because it needs many people working together to succeed, and it’s succeeding. One of the best things about this is how straightforward it is. Authentic.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

My grandfather was a green card holder from when he arrived in the US in his 20s until he died in his 90s. Having a green card makes you a LEGAL resident of the US. The fact that he has disappeared should terrify you. And the fact that Columbia was complacent in his disappearance is grotesque

Doge has itemized $10bn in savings; but all of those were revised down to $19m due to errors and now have been removed from the list. So essentially there are zero itemized savings from DOGE as of today.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. The agony in his face…he looks overwhelmed with disbelief at the sheer cruelty.

But our president believes that "the state" is inseparable from his person. So none of that counted. Trump demands gratitude *personally*, to *him*. And any gratitude expressed to America when Trump was not its supreme leader isn't just worthless—he sees it as a betrayal.
