Courtside seats last time knicks in finals was $2,500 (1999)

Now it's over $100,000+ (2026, over 40x)

That's how you should think about how rich the wealthy get off of money printing

I’m gonna say it. A sentence I never, ever thought would come out of my mouth. Not in a million years.

@Oilfield_Rando Be a public defender.

Client is cooked, you advise him to take the plea deal. Client and family fully fucking chimp out on you and insist he is innocent.

Full trial it is, then.

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

No way the public defender is this dumb, he’s gotta be one of ours throwing the case. Patriot.

SB 175 in Ohio is a classic trick bill designed to make it look it is for parents - while trying to block an actual conservative bill. Be wise!

The world’s top talent is in my replies bragging about having to pay an exorbitant amount of money for bobs and vagene, I am never ever leaving this app.

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

People are saying this is ridiculously expensive.

Bubby. They are banging Indian H-1B’s all day. Imagine that horror.

Surprised they’re not charging $30k an hour

🔥 HELL YES! The crowd at Madison Square Garden broke out in chants of “USA! USA!” after President Trump arrived

There’s a hell of a mix of rabid, self-hating New York liberals as well as TRUE PATRIOTS in the house tonight

They couldn't have the decency to just have Karen Bass beat Spencer Pratt in November; they just HAD to surge Nithya Raman, just in case, forget optics.

Lol

Losing the 1st charge against the machine isn't surprising though. Will Pratt stay & build for next time is the question.

In Virginia during Obama's first election, a woman I knew had a sister stuck at a childhood age mentally so she is in a 'home'. The attendants there registered her to vote and, of course, voted for her. Guess who they voted for.

The problem isn't the parliamentarian. It's not the filibuster, either.

The problems starts with the Senate's 2.5 day work week and it's all downhill from there. IYKYK.

I think @Elex_Michaelson is a first-rate journalist who does ask tough questions of both the right or the left - and is trying to be responsible and responsive. He's fair and thoughtful.

BUT - talking to some people on the ground isn't the same as being in the mix.

I have walked 1000's of precincts and talked to 100's of thousands of voters of all political parties, ages, races, and geographies in CA - and other states. I have been an election observer in dozens of ROVs. I have challenged signature verifications (both improper validation and opposing unfair invalidation). I have watched ballot curing (where election workers "redo" damaged, unreadable, or improperly completed ballots) and run curing operations for unsigned/unmatched ballots.

I can say without hysteria that there are irregularities and vulnerabilities in CA's voting system. I can say unequivocally there are bad actors who are willing & motivated to cheat (and yes, because they think they are on the side of righteousness.) And, I have witnessed actual cheating.

I have been involved in elections where the outcome was determined by 3, 5, 7, 14, 29, and 41 votes. I have been in elections where the outcome was determined by less than 0.01% of the vote. I have been involved in recounts where the "final" vote totals changed by 100's of votes after the recount.

I canNOT say that any of those outcomes were determined as a result of fraud or irregularities. But we cannot be sure they did not - in part because CA lacks proper controls, allows questionable practices (anonymous ballot harvesting), has inadequate safeguards & auditing processes - BUT MOSTLY because too many people are eager to say "it can't happen" or blythly condemn those who see something that doesn't ring true and are willing to speak out.

The "experts" and "election officials" ignored the red flags in the Shakir Khan case - until a tip from a citizen (and the connection to other crimes) led police to raid his home where they found 40 ballots and discovered that he had registered 70 people to his home address (the statewide voter roll should have flagged this already.). Does it happen often? Maybe, maybe not - but the potential and the vulnerabilities exist. The motivation exists (especially today when rhetoric like "he's an existential threat," "our lives are on the line," and "existence of democracy is at stake" are tossed around with reckless abandon.)

Fixing the problems won't deny access for any eager voter... it won't silence one vote. But it will reduce doubt and mistrust.

Senator Murkowski says Alaska needs H-1B visas to fill teacher roles. But the real question is: why can't Alaska keep the teachers it already has?

Answer: Alaska holds the national record for teacher turnover — roughly triple the national average. Teacher salaries grew just 9% from 1994–2004 while the national average rose 31%. This isn't a pipeline problem. It's a pay and retention problem.
