If Platner can fend off other Dems in the primary, I think he’ll have a real chance at winning the whole thing. The issue is going to be the primary. Corporate Dems are going to throw everything they have against him.

There’s a real sea change coming to the Democratic Party. Dem leadership needs to get on board ASAP, or at the very least, get out of the way.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor.

We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers.
Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

Exclusive: Musk’s DOGE expanding his Grok AI in US government, raising conflict concerns
If Musk was directly involved in decisions to use Grok, it could violate a criminal conflict-of-interest statute which bars officials, including special government employees, from participating in matters that could benefit them financially.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.
