“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

Leigh Wambsganss raised nearly $2.3 million for the SD9 district, much of it coming from three billionaire-funded PACs. Taylor Rehmet raised $346,000, most of it coming from donations of $100 or less. His biggest donor gave him $12K, and a bunch of local unions also cut him larger checks.

UPDATE: The Democrat won the latest batch of roughly 6,000 votes, continuing to dominate in the count. The Election Day vote is bluer than the early vote day so far. With 55K votes in, Rehmet is up 57% to 43%. This is a 30% swing since 2024 for now.

We don’t have to live like this. This is impeachable too. Enough is enough.

Some of you may be too young to have appreciated Bruce's 41 shots: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMq... - if yes, you should listen to it. And you should know that the NYPD and NJ cops pitched a MAJOR FIT over it.

👀 Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state

I’m thinking at least one day a week needs to be an offline day.

Feeling good about never having the reverence for Noam Chomsky

Since they have dropped I have been genuinely shocked by more than a few details from the Epstein Files. I’m not even talking about the allegations and FBI tips, just the emails themselves have surprised me, and I thought I had been conditioned and jaded beyond alarm.

I had to work today, I really didn't have the option to call off due to the strike, but I did manage to not spend a penny which also means I have made it through an 11 hour work day with half a cup of coffee.

To be clear, he’s describing an AI generated video right? Because the only footage I’ve seen that comes anywhere near this description is certainly AI. Even if this was all true that doesn’t mean he forfeit his right to live. But, regardless, the WH is injecting fake videos into the discourse now?

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

They have a ton of power, trump and co., but clearly no real strength The strong and righteous usually don’t behave this way, the weak, scared, lonely, and empty do

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.

Hakeem Jeffries does a lot of impressive stuff behind the scenes that almost never gets reported out and he never gets enough credit for and none of it balances our his shortcomings as leader of the Democratic caucus

People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

Oh my God. Link to the full recall list for folks in the three states is in the article. It's a LOT, and not just food.

Another day another impeachable offense in the executive branch

Two specials this Saturday: There’s a congressional special in Houston between two Dems. And a legislative special where a book ban activist is looking to join the Texas Senate. Details in my guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

The phrase "Gotcha Doomerism" has been coined by @kibblesmith.com and it's perfect for describing people who otherwise share my politics. They believe they've already gamed out every possible reason something won't work politically. And it's almost always because they're stuck in 1990s centrism.

Y'know, in this industry, you can make connections and you can lose connections, but you can't really easily win people back once you've lost them. Probably a shrewd career move not to be the name on the email address every act sends their cancellation notices to, if you want to keep booking shows.

As @jenniferkates.bsky.social reminds me, it was Dan McQuade who was at Hannibal Burress's October 2014 show at the Troc when he said “You rape women, Bill Cosby,” happened to be recording it, made it go viral, and from then on no one ever could forget or deny who Bill Cosby was.

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes

Bela Shayevich getting a regular column in n+1 is a good sign w/r/t which timeline we are hopping on now

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

This is a 2023 death that Durbin actually investigated while Chair of Judiciary. (See: www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do... ) Which raises more questions: - Why did he put it out today like this with no date (suggesting it was new)? - After all that work, how could he think “reform” is apt?

A day ago

Rep Omar is, and has been for some time, the one voice in Congress who consistently speaks to my concerns and whose voting record most aligns with my expectations of what a decent person should do in congress, and frankly She'd make a better minority leader in this moment than Rep Hakeem Jeffries.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:
