BREAKING:
The United States is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Senator Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

Collins comes out with her new attack line, "a man running against a woman is sexist"
I'm crying bro she has NOTHING, every ad shows that she wishes her opponent was Graham Platner
@StatisticUrban Yes, she would have won in 2020. I'm saying that, in 2026, if she underperforms what she got in 2020 by more than 1% (and ZERO polls have her matching the ~51% she got in 2020) then she will lose to Jackson
In ME-Sen 2020, Susan Collins avoided RCV being triggered by 0.98%. The third candidate in 2020 explicitly ran a "Rank me 1st, Gideon 2nd" campaign.
2026 will be a much bluer year than 2020. In 2026, there's no third candidate. If Collins underperforms 2020 by even 1%, she loses.

Plus, Montana is much smaller than NYC and has a much cheaper media market. So I don't think it's going to be R+16 in the end - if Bankhead gets the same 7% that Sliwa got, it'd be 44-42-7 R/I/D. However, it is Montana
One reason to be at least a little less doomer about this race is the 2025 NYC mayoral election.
Cuomo very successful managed to squeeze the Republican vote down to just 7% because everyone knew he was the main opposition
Anonymous submission:
Last week, a group of activists disabled the OMNY readers at the BQ Church Avenue station in Brooklyn with an automatic center punch and drill. They opened the gate so people can ride for free, and painted the cameras to protect themselves and fellow riders from surveillance.
This was deliberate act of protest against unaffordable transit, hyper-surveillance in predominantly Black and brown neighborhoods, and the MTA's collaboration with the military industrial complex.
YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. OMNY records when and where you travel, your photograph, name, DOB, billing address, and other personal details. This invasive tech creates a profile to track your life and travel patterns. OMNY’s privacy policy places no limits on the data it collects about you.
EVERY TAP FUNDS A WAR PROFITEER. OMNY is operated by Cubic, a military equipment company making combat simulators. They sell the F-35 fighter jet training system to imperialist zionist entities like israel. The F-35 is a key weapon in israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and all of the US's imperialist wars, responsible for massacring millions of people.
FIGHT BACK. The MTA and Cubic don't deserve your hard earned cash. Take action, smash a reader, jump the turnstile, hold the gate for others. If you must pay, use cash for OMNY cards, and tap yourself and fellow riders in. This makes you all less traceable. Cover your face and identifying features. Always check for police before evading the fare. Remember, contracted security guards have no authority to stop or detain passengers.
RIDE FREE, FUCK THE NYPD, AND FREE PALESTINE!
Arguably property tax is one of the best out there for two reasons
- you cannot dodge it
- arguably the only thing that stops boomers from voting infinite NIMBYism and raising house prices by infinity%, since they have to pay for the consequences (or rather, 1.5% to 3% of them)
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Is there anything more performative than being British and defining your height/weight in imperial?
"I lost 2 stone" This means literally nothing to me. Either tell me in kilograms or don't tell me. That's the way it's done in this country.
Is there anything more performative than being British and defining your height/weight in metric?
"I'm 178 cm" This means literally nothing to me. Just say you're 5'10. That's the way it's done in this country. Measuring yourself in cm is like measuring your beer in millilitres.
