so, schumer has been shepherding this deal every step of the way but even if you take him at face value idk if anyone should be reassured by the concept of a senate minority leader who cannot control his own party to stop what he believes to be a catastrophic capitulation
America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it.
I am voting NO.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?
For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

John McAuliff ran his campaign almost entirely on data centers — and won.

Obviously she won't win, but you can safely predict that Stefanik's antisemitic conspiracy theories about "Soros" and "globalists" and aides/staffers of hers being in the youth GOP "I love Hitler"/"Throw them in the gas chambers" chat will get nowhere near the scrutiny Mamdani did.

The thing is, Jake has been a scoop machine since joining Wired a few months ago. Conde Nast just made Wired worse off with this action.
It was just a few days ago that he broke the Nancy Mace police meltdown story.

If it's true that RealClearPolitics removed their polling average of the VA Attorney General race because it was wrong, that should really be the nail in the coffin for them. It's GOP polling propaganda that hasn't been rigorous or transparent in a long time (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-pollin...)

It's awesome they're doing these hits now even though no one forced Trump to mass arrest and deport Hispanic people or raise the price of coffee because Lula made him feel small
EXCLUSIVE: After Dems’ 2025 election sweep, Trump plans to refocus his messaging on the cost of living, says his 2024 campaign political director, James Blair.

Another important wrinkle in this: Jay Jones was outspent by $7 million.
Lots to unpack from last night. Here's one result that will worry Republicans. Very flawed candidate whose text messages were deemed disqualifying by 41% of voters. And concerning by another 27%. Yet he won handily with ~53%. Clear rebuke to the candidate with (R) next to his name.
