Please take the time to listen to this. Marc Elias is the real deal, and routinely argues cases in front of the Supreme Court, particularly cases the involving voting rights act. It’s imperative to understand what’s happening below the surface that main stream media is rather silent about.

Raising the economic bar far too high, Trump and his team set themselves up for failure
It’s widely understood that officials should under-promise and over-deliver. On economic growth, the White House has got it backward.

If you're wondering what happened to Nate Silver, he was into the COVID lab leak theory and got negative feedback online, including from epidemiologists and virologists and (GASP!) posters, which added to his belief that The Woke are victimizing Nate Silver. It spiraled from there.

I'm not kidding.

On June 6th, the first day of Trump's Invasion of Los Angeles, I was teargassed for the crime of handing out water at an anti-ICE protest.

My story isn't unique. 1000s of protestors & journalists were brutalized for standing up against fascism.

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.
He issued a correction, proving why he needs to stfu and let the cops do their jobs.

It’s a a goddamned ongoing tragedy, not a reality TV show, primed for him to drop the big reveal.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

This fall, my 12yo daughter was in her classroom when they had a shelter in place warning. Her teacher had briefly left the room so the kids were alone. They hid in a closet. It was not a shooter, but they didn’t know. Their baseline assumption is that someone will shoot them in their classroom

Christopher Dawson won hundreds of millions in federal contracts, promising to help Native Hawaiians.

Instead, prosecutors say he pocketed the profits for personal gain, describing his actions as a “fraud scheme and embezzlement.”

A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.
