It's Me

[Dom or Coach Domo. @Domo_Politico]

That’s not at all what it says. If you never have worked on a campaign that’s what you’d tweet. Unions and other orgs loan employees to campaigns all the time and have firewalls. This is political gamesmanship OCF is playing. Your fave Dems and mods do the same thing in Congress.

BIG MONEY: Pro-@kenyanmcduffie independent expenditure group @PeopleForDC has raised $827k and spent $813k so far on anti-@Janeese4DC mailers and ads.

Most of its funding ($650k) comes from dark money group @AUDCRESEARCH. $100k from realtors group. Also: Nats owner, developers.

Yesterday, JLG team got to work and put up election signs all across DC ahead of in-person early voting.

And this morning at Turkey Thicket…

DC had the chance to lock in lower renewable energy rates in 2018 with the Clean Energy DC Act.

As Council Committee Chair, McDuffie stripped the provision from the bill as a favor to Pepco lobbyists.

Today, DC residents are paying ~$24 more a month as a result of the decision.

Yglesias: JLG "has never reconciled herself to the realities of privately financed housing development"

JLG: "When I was first elected... I wasn’t certain about the role private development should play. Since then... I’ve embraced the fact that cities that build temper costs."

Hey all! I have a book coming out in exactly 4 weeks. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the public on mass death in Gaza. Pre-ordering helps a lot so do that if you can. 100% of royalties go to @MECAForPeace. https://t.co/QUo6elFsBQ

NYC Wegmans is storing biometric data on shoppers' eyes, voices and faces

Private equity firms control the top 3 providers of fire department software

This NYT story details how they take over affordable services, retire them, and then jack up the price of new tools by 3-5x, selling modernization while feeding off a reliable stream of taxpayer funding

The Committee for the First Amendment was formed to fight for our right to free expression. A WBD merger puts it at risk. Read more from @JaneFonda on @theankler.

The Netflix/WB deal bodes ill not just for theaters but for movies as a 2-hour medium. Streamers know a 10-hr TV season keeps viewers on their service far longer than a movie can — it’s why all of them (including Netflix) make fewer films than they used to. Does this hasten that?

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

There’s a frog in boiling water element to this too. On polymarket you can bet on whether Gaza will be ethnically cleansed. On Kalshi you can bet on whether they’ll be famine in Gaza (that one paid out for ‘yes’ btw) This is objectively depraved and should not be legal but 1/2

[Colby Hall @colbyhall]

Nuzzi and Lizza wore out their welcome in record time — deeply unethical, narcissistic operators. But can we talk about the creepy men who are getting a pass? Lecherous Mark Sanford, Keith Olbermann dating an 18-year-old at 52, and RFK Jr., who comes off unqualified as a human being, let alone as HHS Secretary.

[Sarah Mikal @NetflixFunny]

It’s the way Ryan Lizza casually sprinkled in part 2 that Olivia Nuzzi participated in a Catch & Kill on behalf of RFK, as if this wasn’t a story in & of itself.

Everyone involved (including him) lacks integrity and is comically unethical.

This is NOT A CEASEFIRE.

"Alice was terrified thinking about how extra-frightening the bombings must be for people who lived with deafness, blindness, Down syndrome or conditions which required careful medical care in Gaza."

'Crips for eSims for Gaza'... raised $3,129,604"

Hang on—is that a government-run supermarket selling groceries at cost?!
