Well, well the genius poker players that hold all the $$ cards are showing their very small hands.
Donald Trump himself has taken an interest in this election. Do you know why? All of these groups and people know that this seat can be flipped tomorrow and that thought scares them. If you look at their actions and not what they’re saying in the media you’ll realize just how afraid they are.

👀 Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on Obamacare funding, saying she’s not a fan of the law but demands action to prevent a premium hike. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.” She says GOP leaders don’t have a plan.

YES this is such a misunderstood dynamic and it drives me crazy
I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with:

1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable.

2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable.

3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

Just get the work out there. The rest will take care of itself.
Advice I'd give my younger self:
Celebrate every success, no matter how small. Don't be so obsessed with the Next Goal that you forgot to appreciate how far you've come so far, and to enjoy the journey.

Another fail by the “Right”. Let’s have a conversation or poll to come up with a better name for the “Right”, a group often so wrong the moniker needs revision.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

Lovely, Elon. Fight back or die. So glad you’re helping to bring the temperature down in this insane moment. Looking forward to your book on leadership skills.
Elon Musk has urged Britons to “fight back or die” as he addressed a rally of more than 100,000 people organised by Tommy Robinson.

The protest descended into violence after Robinson’s supporters clashed with police and anti-racism campaigners

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.
