@AlDefinitely Primary performance proved traditional establishment playbook—skipping debates and relying solely on a multi-million-dollar air war—losing its efficacy against dedicated grassroots organizing.
Highly successful proof of concept for an open-seat primary six years down the road.
@RayneOnSol Misconception. Deep Sleep (Stage 3 NREM) stage = body repair. Incredibly hard to wake up from deep sleep In lighter later REM, brain wave activity looks almost identical to awake, heart rate and breathing go up. Instead of fixing the body, REM fixes the mind.
@SoundMoneyG Population density of Montgomery County, Maryland, is approximately 2,150 to 2,190 people per square mile. Once a jurisdiction maintains a density well north of 1,000 people per square mile, the margin for Democratic candidates widens significantly.
@ScottPresler Pointing out that this particular method though in Constitution has never so far been used. Normal method is 2/3 supermajority in both chambers followed by ratification by 3/4 of states.
BREAKING: SCOTUS strikes down President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship in 5-4 decision. Justices Roberts and Barrett joined the liberals. From the majority opinion:
"Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause."
@FirstSquawk Until steel and specialized equipment at Ras Laffan is physically replaced, the floor under global energy prices has permanently shifted upward...for years.
@OilHeadlineNews Signal of sharp contraction in global demand, particularly China, paired with broader macroeconomic cooling. Cooling labor markets + sticky core inflation in non-energy services. Minor break at the pump won't revive discretionary budget. "gas money savings" are already spent.
@onechancefreedm It may be that BOJ will have to resort to out of cycle raise to break pattern. That risks disorderly unwind due to crowding. Or seeing 165 and reacting to market unwinding anyway. Its a choice between timing and reacting.
@WampumMining No friend of Bessent. But spreads are where they are because new refinery Capex doesn't make sense. Rest of world EV adoption accelerating. Refineries relying more on non transport products for industry sustainment.
@zerohedge primary wedge between crude and retail right now is the crack spread—the margin refineries make by turning a barrel of crude into usable petroleum products. Even though crude supply is recovering globally, domestic refining capacity remains tight due to structural headwinds.
@Republicans Though caucusing with Democrats. Sanders identifies himself as Democratic Socialist. Like Sanders, Avila Chevalier is explicitly backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and identifies as a democratic socialist.
@PennMaxxing Wealth management studies frequently cite a sobering metric: roughly 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation, and 90% lose it by the third.
@FoxNews Professional-grade multi-brand diagnostic tablets (like the Autel MaxiSys or Launch PAD series) run anywhere from $2,000 to $5,500 upfront. Annual software subscription renewals cost $600 to $1,500 a year just to keep the capability to read new modules. That doesn't change.
@MDBayNews Hogan cleared over a million votes and outperformed the top of the ticket by about 17 points, carrying counties like Frederick and Anne Arundel. But that didn't translate into election.
@MDBayNews Strip away the "Independent" label, the vast majority of unaffiliated voters are not neutral, middle-of-the-road moderates calmly weighing both sides. They are just partisans. They "lean" about the same as partisans.
