Two PA-03 candidates commit to supporting corporate centrist and AIPAC-funded Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker. Only @chrisrabb.com is aligning with other progressives and keeping his options open. What more do you need to know? 🎁🔗 share.inquirer.com/nnqyWi

BIG NEWS: @PhillyInquirer endorses Chris Rabb for Congress in PA-03! "Rabb has consistently offered the boldest and most ambitious leadership . . . As the contender who will best represent the interests of his constituents, the Editorial Board endorses Chris Rabb."

When will the media just accept that Trump’s war “news” is simply market manipulation for his insider trading buddies?

Remember when you didn’t need to know about media conglomerate mergers and acquisitions to watch a ball game?

Lost 5% body fat! (because I got a different, hopefully more accurate, scale)

President Trump referred this morning to "OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN." This is, of course, interesting because the last time the United States struck a deal with Iran involving a transaction, Republicans completely lost their minds. Let's take a trip down memory lane. 🧵

What a misleading headline, @inquirer.com How about: “Panel of Police Chiefs Disputes Video Evidence, Justifies Quakertown Chief’s Use of Force Against Teenagers” www.inquirer.com/crime/quaker...

Jacob can dunk!!! #AbbottElementary

Just like they’re doing in PA-03, 314 Action Fund stepped into the IL-09 Dem primary to support the moderate candidate over the more progressive candidate. (Green bar - $409K)

Assigned a phishing training at work because I interrogated a URL in a honeypot email from IT. Apparently, any interaction counts. Fine. Marking all IT emails as spam now. “You’re behind in your trainings!" BLOCK “You need to upgrade your software!" BLOCK “Don’t sell your laptop on eBay!" BLOCK

Hidden AIPAC funders are likely also what we will find in 3.14 Action, the “pro-science” super PAC funding ads to support Ala Stanford in PA-03, hoping to split the progressive vote and elect the establishment Dem. But we probably won’t know till after the vote, if at all.

Just a reminder: Sixers first-round playoff games won't air on NBC Sports Philadelphia this season. Instead, games 1 to 4 will be on four different networks and two different streamers. www.inquirer.com/sixers/live/...

Reminded that performative populism is called “slopulism” by the cool kids 😎

UGH, this proposal is the worst kind of performative populism from my painfully centrist Dem congressperson. Thankfully, it won’t go anywhere, but still... Let me count the ways this is terrible policy: 1/🧵 www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Inqy has the correct assessment here: turnout. Given the significant turnout last November despite only judicial races, I expect it to be high in this primary, too. Mayor Parker will likely endorse Street. Open question is whether progressive luminaries like AOC & Bernie will publicly support Rabb.

Melania statement in full…

My favorite Spaceballs line is when Colonel Sanders explains the entire movie’s forthcoming plot setup and Dark Helmet turns to the camera and asks, “Everybody got that?!” And now, whenever I hear too-convenient exposition in a show, I love to say, “Everybody got that?!"

Hahahahahaha 😂🤣🤪 www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

Call me ill-informed, I was an English Major...

Our elected Dems should be making clear that not only is impeachment for political leaders coming, but also military court-martials when generals execute illegal orders. But no, if Dems just keep quiet and focus on “affordability", they’ll definitely win back Congress this fall. 🙄

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel. Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects. What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.

What Zoe Williams fails to understand is that the Artemis II mission has created enough sample material for another 40 years of Orb albums

Someone tell Trump that, by definition, “everything” cannot be “decimated”. It can only be reduced by 10%.

I don’t think anyone believes the gigantic $2.5MM super-PAC investment in Stanford is for her “pro-science” stance. It’s almost certainly a front for AIPAC-aligned mega-donors. I don’t think it matters though, as you can’t buy turnout in a primary with TV ads. 🎁🔗 share.inquirer.com/vH6hD8

Documentary proof of my maxim, “The number #1 threat to progressivism is other progressives.” [Cue intense debate over the definition of “progressivism”.]

Asshole cat was such an asshole at the vet they couldn’t examine him. Now he has to taken feline fentanyl and go back another time.😾

Been seeing a lot of tweets about whether pleats are back. Are they "in" or "out?" Are they modern or old? Personally don't like this line of thinking, as it's driven by ready-to-wear trends, which forces you to update your wardrobe every decade. Let me give you another way to think about pleats. 🧵

I want to believe the #noKings rallies will do something, but this is the third one, and it hasn’t moved either the MAGA Republicans OR the entrenched Democrats to change course. Can’t imagine this one will be different.

good morning. our long national nightmare is over.
