So in this scenario maine voters have no agency & 2 operatives working w/a non pro candidate control the Dem electoral outcome but in a presidential election w/many more operatives & a pro candidate, outcome is determined by a few independent political reporters & commentators?🤷🏻♂️
Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.
The NYT story on Platner is out, and it does not remotely live up to the hype from Senate Republican operatives on here.
Neither here nor there, but to hear a lifelong Republican operative -- who co-hosted for years a popular DC podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel -- complain about a Democrat being too into assault weapons and axes is so disorienting.
I thought Dems were the snowflakes and Republicans were the rugged ones?
(Side note: when else should you sharpen an ax if not while watching TV?)
If Graham Platner was sexting only 18+ girls he can prove it by releasing his phone records and chat logs.
Until he does that, we’ll have to assume there’s a reason he was on “Kik” — an app so deviant and perverse that only sex predators and DHS investigators know what it is.
“I ❤️ HSHM” is the Jewish name for God. It’s affixed here on a cutout of Mayor Mamdani’s wife, Rama. They are Muslim.
So not only are Israel parade goers mocking their boycott of the nation genociding fellow Muslims, they’re converting them. And on Eid.
Imagine the outrage if Muslim activists did this with cutouts of Jews or Christians.
Why is it controversial for Zohran to skip a parade bc of his principles but not for Democratic politicians to march with a fascist bigot like Smotrich?
AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.
The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.
That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.
New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at https://t.co/Wt1RgEfgey is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.
The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.
the uk has revoked my visa as well. all at the behest of israel. the west is betraying "liberal values" for a genocidal fascist foreign government. soon we will all become israel.
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
