AOC stars in new ad urging California to vote "yes" on new redistricting map. "Donald Trump is redrawing election maps to force through a Congress that only answers to him ... With Prop. 50, we can stop him."

give me money to analyze elections. I realize many of you already subscribe to the newsletter but I kindly submit that I want more money

Seeing ice cream cones during their spawning runs really takes your breath away. They’ll only do this once in their entire lives.

as we lose the Mobile mayoral by a hair I'm thinking about how Kamala not only endorsed Zohran but did the easy thing for any Democrat uncomfortable with Zohran (briefly but unequivocally endorse him before pivoting to a red-to-blue race) and about how other national Democrats couldn't do the same

in my NJ preview I do wish I had been bolder about predicting Brennan and Bhalla, but I was right on the fucking money about how hosed the HCDO slate was in LD-32 despite not fully appreciating the scale of the HCDO's spending in LD-32 until weeks later. a million for last place is crazy lmao

I would also add, that “an America that adequately defenestrates its authoritarian sects and funding networks” would present the most reliable and stable global partner in….in a long time

will note that while this was *not* the purpose of the NJ Doom Fund (the purpose was to route money to Dems who will use the money well instead of letting themselves get fleeced by NJ Dem consultants) the Doom Fund exclusively funds Democrats who have demonstrated some independence and gumption

I genuinely think he'd fall apart in the face of a challenge from Chi Osse. He just doesn't have the juice.

it is also the best post-work commute dinner in the game right now. dress some kale with light caesar and I become a rabbit

Insulting someone isn’t an ad hominem argument, and if you make this mistake in an online fight, you’re probably an idiot.

"I voted for it because it doesn't actually do anything" is a pretty good encapsulation of Jeffries's recent politics

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

Sia Sponte

my sober non-doomer assessment of the NJ Assembly state of play, which does not fit the conventional wisdom but is cognizant of how wrong the CW was (and how right I was) about Sweeney in 2021

The phrase "trans inclusionary Mormon honor killing" is now bouncing around my brain and I do not like it

What gets me about these discussions is that there is a genuine question about issue saliency and moderation, but half of the people trying to lecture us on both have a completely deranged theory of politics in their own right.

I think the appetite for SCOTUS reform among the Democratic Party elite has been comprehensively exaggerated on here.

I still haven't had occasion to pay the doomposting tax since Sunday night's debate and we're now within sight of $6,000!!

well, I didn't foresee Trump being so stupid that he decides Democrats' helpful-to-his-own-fortunes asks are worth a shutdown to *stop* and frankly that's on me

I keep seeing people complain about Uncommitted, as if it wasn’t engineered by Democratic politicians specifically as an outlet for Democratic voters to express their dissatisfaction with Biden in the primaries so they would vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election

It is very funny that Arabs and Muslims were told for a year that they had to swallow every single conceivable bitter pill and support a candidacy and a party that was sponsoring the murder of their families but suddenly a Muslim wins a primary and the two leaders of the DP can skirt around it.

"It’s now abundantly clear that nothing we do is ever going to be enough. It’s always the same story. No good deed goes unpunished, and no sock full of quarters to the kidney goes unprotested."

WAS THAT SO HARD??

Joe Manchin singlehandedly blew up Biden's welfare agenda and caused child poverty to ~double. Andrew Cuomo literally conspired with Republicans to give them control of the state Senate

for all the flapping about Uncommitted during the primary it has always been the Blue Dog centrist types who are most disloyal to the party

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

The whole exurban reactionary swinger takeover of the GOP is wild

everyone knows what the issue is: the party is not led by partisans.

Rahway unaffected on Rapture Day. proof New Jerseyans are damned to hell

I actually need to buy tylenol though it's the only OTC painkiller I can take and my old bottle is super expired

I like how the brain worm is a thing RFK Jr. may have just made up that we've all decided is real because fuck that weird guy

Accidentally raptured into heaven with all the evangelicals and somehow one of them has already set up the worst barbecue place imaginable. There's a banner out front where the illustration depicts a pig that has a goatee and is wearing a handgun in a holster. Everything tastes like corn syrup.

hey guys. I just got back from the rapture and they're actually canceling it for now because one of the food vendors backed out. yeah they're gonna try again in October or November

Fish Cop is allegedly 28 years old

Thought this was funny because the deranged DHS response is clearly written by AI

man Chuck and Hakeem look like clowns getting beaten to the punch by Kamala. she quite literally does not even go here

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

at some point we are going to discover where the shakedown money Trump is taking for his various "deals" is going and it is not going to be what anyone would understand as being "the United States government"

Mr. President! Mr. President! your thoughts on the upcoming UN meeting? Donald Trump, sebum bubbling and crackling off his face like grease from a hot pan: we've got a great ambassador, a great UN, and we're going to be negotiating a deal with the UN

I silently wish prison on opposing counsel all the time how the fuck else are you supposed to do it

Good name alert

the reason I don't think this will work is, unironically, YIMBYism. Seattle has upzoned so aggressively that the median resident in the city proper (as well as in several large suburbs) is a renter now and renters are more left-wing across the board than homeowners.

eat my ass mayo pete

Trump is uniquely degenerate as an individual, but I think when the historians are writing about this in a few centuries, they'll focus on the collapse of Congressional functionality from the 1990s onward and the growth of the security state post 9/11 as the primary motive forces behind the crisis.

I still will not tell you which candidate is short of $1,000, only that $225 evenly split would be enough to get them there
