not wanting to talk about the 2028 presidential race in November 2026 automatically makes him the most normal person in the race

This is a felony level case of "making up someone to get mad at," as if librarians are pushing romantasy on boys instead of just recommending Percy Jackson

But I mostly think it's sad to make "kids aren't reading anymore" into a gender war issue when it's a cross-gender problem

Trump right now

[Fox News @FoxNews]

President Trump has a new candidate for White House press secretary, and it's UFC boss Dana White.

Trump jokes that even Karoline Leavitt would agree White would be good for the job, but there's just one problem.

"He'll talk for a little while, and then he's going to beat the hell out of you."

The president delivers the punchline while introducing White at the White House podium.

Rep.-elect Zack Mullock (D-NJ) says he didn’t realize he had a shot in his race against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) until August. He was shocked about his own win.

“Probably, I know less than any other elected official in that building. I had to Google the salary of a congressperson just two days ago,” Mullock said.

The scale of James Talarico’s victory is simply astounding.

He still wins if you remove Dallas, Travis, and Harris counties.

saw a NJ Republican lawmaker this week and when I asked how they were they groaned and said, “Fuck.”

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Schumer didn’t “give Haley Stevens $10 million.” There were pop-up pro-Israel PACs that came in for her; that wasn’t money that Schumer controlled and could have otherwise given to Nixon.

Schumer, through the Senate Dem PACs, did direct $132 million to El-Sayed and Jackson. Both called Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.”

Whack away at Schumer for not funding Nixon but there is some mythmaking going on about him secretly funneling money to Stevens and cutting off “anti-genocide” candidates. He didn’t cut them off, and the bet on Stevens was — foolishly imo — that she’d be a cheaper nominee bc AIPAC would spend for her.
