haven’t seen America this thoroughly embarrassed on the world stage since we lost that war we started with Iran like 3 weeks ago

Playing clean is so overrated. More teams should just go full ISIS against the best teams. Break some legs and so on. Send them into early retirement.

Even if you can’t win, take them down with you. Paraguay are heroes.

SCOTUS isn’t a hack institution believers are so wild lmao

asides from legality, the notion that authorities can remove someone from the ballot based on a perception of campaign seriousness is a hazard. imagine that logic getting extended to wave babies like joe walsh

I'm watching the Alaska Supreme Court livestream of the Dan J. Sullivan case. The State's lawyer is up and getting clobbered over the point I've been making: what's the Alaska statute or regulation allowing the state to kick Dan J. Sullivan off the ballot?

The state hasn't been able to answer that question well at all - probably because there is none. At least 3 of the 4 justices deciding the case are very skeptical.

Sullivan's lawyer is now up. He's going to whether Sullivan must be listed as a Republican on the ballot.

So fucking funny. Inventing the Fed is too important to the economy for the president to touch exception

larry sanger has made a coalition of everyone who hates wikipedia to take down wikipedia. to wit, he has blamed anti-israeli movements. the action precipitating his ban was an express invitation, on a tv show, to hindutva to engage in pov-pushing

[Sami Gold @souljagoyteller]

Look at the people celebrating this FP article. Wikipedia is one of the few good major internet sites left, and if we allow the pro-Israel elites to finish off their hit job, any remnant left of a society that cared about truth will be lost

@_alex_joshua no worries! the deletions wouldn't have shown up in the ordinary edit history. i went here: https://t.co/94d7Ja61SI

the article for chevalier was deleted back on 2/17/26 and 6/19/26, failing the general notability guideline. it was restored to article space on 6/21, two days before the primary

same standards for everyone: nonroutine significant coverage in secondary sources

The best way to protect free speech is by exercising it. So:

Today is a great day for Jonathan Ross to be indicted.

[Taniel @Taniel]

.@syracusedotcom reports two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday to demand that she take down an Insta post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). https://t.co/WIB1hbqx5W

A lot of staffers and elected officials in Sacramento might find themselves asking a basic question about this tax compromise: “Why 1.5%?”

As it turns out, there’s a very good reason that is not well understood. (1/x)

daniel naroditsky: the threat is stronger than the execution

[Dan Shapiro @DanielBShapiro]

This is really hard for some people to understand: that in many cases, the credible threat of the use of force may be more effective than its actual use.

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

State Rep. Josh Turek is one of the most intriguing Democratic senate candidates this cycle. He pulled off the upset holding an open seat in 2022 when every statewide Republican district won House District 20. Even Rob Sand lost the district as he won a second term.

[Ethan C7 @ECaliberSeven]

In 2024, 3 frontline Reps had their seats redrawn by >10%.

Two - Molinaro (R, NY-19) and Williams (R, NY-22) - OUTRAN Trump w/ their new voters, but UNDERRAN w/ their old ones.

The expert view of incumbency is outdated, and it’s screwing an Alabama Dem.

[Ethan C7 @ECaliberSeven]

Last week, after Shomari Figures (D, AL-02) was gerrymandered into a Trump+14 seat, Cook rated his seat as Safe R.

Cook is VERY wrong, and they're partially basing it on an outdated idea of how incumbency works.

Now, Cook is screwing Figures's campaign.

The LA Recorder quietly released new precinct results as of 6/10, so let's map the results, starting with Skid Row and moving out:

The 6/10 results are unofficial, but probably somewhat close to final, so I've compared them to the final Skid Row Mayoral Results in 2022.
-Skid Row Votes are up 18% compared to 2022 final official
-Overall LA Votes are up 28% compared to 2022 final official
-Bass still won most Skid Row Precincts (I haven't computed the total SR numbers yet)
-Thus, Skid Row's turnout increase is still less than LA's overall, and the number of votes there is very small.
