Ok, this morning, I said that it was unlikely that @janeese4dc.bsky.social would even need a second round. did a little more on the numbers, and now I think it's just very unlikely McDuffie can win even in a second round or beyond. 🧵

Reposting not for the “I was right” but for actual hard numbers from a political scientist

You can go through the strait free, but it takes 2 days, or you can subscribe to Hormuz Plus.

My take: @janeese4dc.bsky.social needs to stay above 50% when they finish counting all the first round ballots in the next day or two, and they don’t need to go to the next round (who people ranked second) (cont’d)

Something the DNC ghouls hadn’t bargained for (tries to stop grinning)

Could it be that rich girl rumspringa is finally over? Back to Connecticut, Brooke.

LFG DC!

NEW: Ahead of the June 16 primary, we have a last word from D.C.'s leading mayoral candidates. Janeese Lewis George wrote an opinion piece on how she'll address affordability and rising Pepco bills. Kenyan McDuffie wrote an opinion piece on how he'll defend D.C.'s autonomy and economy. Read both:

🚨 Trump endorses Kenyan McDuffie

Bumping this for anyone who’s early voting before Tuesday or filling out their ballot at home!

“We’re not allowed to take breaks of any kind,” one Amazon worker said on the condition of anonymity, claiming that human chess pieces are expected to stand motionless for more than eight hours at a time on the board’s three-by-three-foot squares.

Solid @workingfamilies.org spot on Robert White, who’s running for DC Delegate to the House, Eleanor Holmes Norton’s old seat. youtu.be/CvWHuU-XuPw

Important downballot race for DC voters: Democratic State Committee. If Robert White wins, DemCom—not voters—picks his replacement on the Council. If you want someone who’ll be an ally to JLG, vote for the Free DC slate—not to be confused with the establishment slate, “Democrats United to Free DC”.

Stay classy bruh

Oh, the drama!

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

I don’t condone everything Gandhi did, but the seven social sins feel pretty germane: 1. Wealth without work 2. Pleasure without conscience 3. Knowledge without character 4. Commerce without morality 5. Science without humanity 6. Religion without sacrifice 7. Politics without principle

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

ProPublica used leaked tax returns to calculate that through complex tax avoidance schemes, Jeff Bezos pays a tax rate of 0.98% www.propublica.org/article/the-... So if we doubled the taxes he pays, that would mean he'd still be paying less than 2%.

Who should you vote for in #DC’s primaries on June 16? @thomasflores.bsky.social and I have thoughts. See image for our rundown and read on for receipts 🧵

Everyone in America supports filing their taxes directly with the IRS for free—everyone but Trump & executives at giant tax prep companies like Intuit-TurboTax, who teamed up to cancel Direct File. (What a coincidence: Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.)
