Well, the polls showing Turek leading Himson seemed ridiculous. Hinson is a good candidate, and Turek seems terrible and a poor fit for Iowa.
Shumer had Dems block the Rate Protection Act, written by Husted, to try to boost Sherrod Brown in Ohio. The Rate Protection Act says that AI data centers either have to be energy rate neutral or pay for their own power supply. If I was Husted, I would run ads explaining that if you elect Brown, you’ll get more of these votes to stop bipartisan bills that passed 417-6 in the House for political gain.

Link to WSJ editorial from Roland Fryer regarding improving minority outcomes in public education.
A bit profane, but a good explainer. Years ago, Bill Simmons had a good piece that explained that if you, a male, wanted to start a fight with a woman, just say, “Jennifer Love Hewitt is so talented.” It started with “Mariah Carey,” but Ms. Carey was undeniably vocally talented.
Senator Fetterman and Senator McCormick genuinely like each other. When they do something good for Pennsylvanians, they usually appear together to announce it, and go out of the way to credit each other. Outside of Philly, Pennsylvania is kind of in the middle, even Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Nationwide Democrats may want to boot him out, but unless Josh Shapiro is willing to cast aside his Presidential ambitions, there isn’t a popular Democrat with statewide appeal to replace Fetterman.

I agree with this. Increases G component of GDP. Can’t cut it (“you’re literally targeting seniors and the terminally ill”) and there’s little accountability for services delivered or time spent.

It’s a d—ed if you do, d—ed if you don’t world. With energy prices in California, the working class is going to bear the brunt if these policies.

Stanford Professor Andy Hall notes that robust paywalls mean that LLMs recommend the Japanese Communist Party because their content is free and accessible.

I would be interested in Mike Rowe’s take on this.

We may have a DSA mayor of NYC, a DSA senator (MI), and a DSA governor (WI), along with a significant number of DSA congressmen and congresswomen in November.
Because the majorities are likely to be thin, the DSA can demand concessions from the Democrats, pushing policies further left.
The Red-Green alliance.

Two female Marxists celebrating the overthrow of the Shah and holding up a picture of the Ayatollah Khomeini. One executed, and the other had to flee to exile.
The billionaires tax is likely to pass as well. I hate the people who whine about democracy when they feel they’re in the majority, then talk about oppression and vulnerable populations. Why did Athens lose the Peloponnesian War?
My parents were around for the bicentennial. There was a lot of patriotism and celebration.
The WNBA and the NWSL compete for who can cave to the craziest members of society. Notice in the USA Today article, the “questions being raised” started with journalists planting the seeds. Then the players union started running with it. Nneka being involved is sad.
