No, he is not. Literally just read further in the thread. It's an argument against attempting to regain or retain hegemony, not isolationism, and is closer to liberal internationalist than anything:
Osita Nwanevu @ositanwanevu.com My position is that America should adopt the foreign policy orientation of most countries in the world. There are things we can help with and contribute, but we've no right or reason to lord it over the Earth. And certainly not while the GOP is structurally favored to control Washington.

A Congresswoman leading protests is actually what we need now. More. I’ll take it.

events and protests or any gathering that would attract cameras and attention, including the Sundance Film Festival. While his past criminal offenses were typically misdemeanors, often related to trespassing, Zinn was charged with a second-degree felony count of threat of terrorism in 2013. Zinn had emailed the Salt Lake City Mar thon's marketing directing on April 17 - two days after the Boston Marathon bombing - asking "if you needed anybody to help place bombs near the finish line on Saturday???" Zinn later told police, according to the charging documents in that case, that he "didn't mean anything by sending the email." That charge was ultimately pleaded down to a misdemen im

your only option looks like this. though banning semiautomatic rifles in general is easier. if hunting and sport shooting are so important, a bolt action works just fine, and probably the only way to guarantee they aren’t used but then there are handguns. So it goes back to the “ban it all”

There isn’t a “catch”, but they want so badly for there to be one.
there, It sometimes seems like Ozempic (and its ilk) is a miracle treatment, not just for weight loss br for all manner of other conditions and cravings. As GLP-1 drugs grow in popularity, and with the prospect of Ozempic pills on the horizon, it's time to ask: What's the catch? Also in this issue, you'll find a feature on the terrifying consequences of America's protein craze and an analysis of the testosterone theory. of politics. Plus: Whatever happened to the friend setup? And how to make the hardest choices of your life. Happy reading! -Angela Chen, senior editor

To put this in context, the above numbers are 2006 Iraq War numbers (Lieberman lost the primary)
between Lamont and Lieberman because voters don't even know who Lamont is at this early stage. But for what it's worth, Lieberman bested Lamont 68% to 13% among Democrats for the nomination in a February Quinnipiac poll. If by August Lamont's profile increases and voters understand the choice they are faced with, then we will get a clear test of how angry Connecticut Democrats really are about the Iraq war. With so few Democratic incumbents or candidates sharing Lieberman's pro-war stance, it is a unique test of the issue within the party. Given the views of Democrats' nationally on the Iraq war, one would think Lieberman could be in trouble over the issue. According to recent Gallup Polls, most Democrats oppose the war (82% say sending troops was a mistake). Nearly a third of Democrats (much more than Republicans) mention Iraq spontaneously when asked to name the most important issue facing the United States. Only 22% of Democrats say the Iraq war will be "the most important" issue to their vote for Congress this year, but another 44% say it will be "very important."

Just blowing past every sign here
Huffman moved his family to a rural village outside Moscow this spring. It was launched by American blogger Tim Kirby-who has lived in Russia for two decades-in 2023 to attract Americans seeking to escape the "liberal gender norm." That project has been a flop, with United24 Media reporting that only two families, including the Huffmans, have moved in. Huffman, a native Texan, brought his wife, three daughters, and their family Husky, "Baby," with him to Russia. The couple also has three sons from prior marriages who opted to remain in the United States. Huffman's admiration for Russia runs deep. The Russian state-operated news agency RIA Novosti reported last month that the couple honeymooned in Moscow.

I dug a little and found an article on Ballotpedia that tallied the number of incumbents defeated. At the peak of the Tea Party insurgency, it was only 13 incumbent reps.
Incumbent competition Primary races in which an incumbent sought re- election were slightly more competitive than those without an incumbent running. An overwhelming majority of incumbents ran for re-election in 2014 and competed in a primary race. Just over 90 percent (387 out of 429) of U.S. House incumbents sought re- election in 2014.8. Of those incumbents who did run for re-election, 41.6 percent faced a primary challenger. Incumbents defeated in primaries 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 As was the case with general primary competition, incumbent competitiveness was higher within the Republican Party than it was in the Democratic Party. Ot Republican incumbents, 45.85 percent faced a primary challenger, while 36.81 percent of Democratic incumbents seeking re-election faced a primary

Nintendo has no depths they will not delve to
Recently, Once Were Nerd attracted the attention of Italy's Ministry of Economy and Finance, which is tasked with policing copyright in the country. In the video first spotted by Android Authority (which has an Al-generated English language track), the YouTuber explains that Guardia di Finanza appeared at his door in April with a search warrant. Agents accused the creator of promoting pirated copyrighted materials stemming from his coverage of Anbernic handheld game consoles. While emulation software is not illegal, a surprising number of these devices ship chosk-full of preloaded ROMs-the channel *showed multiple Sony and Nintendo games running on the device* (highlighted in image). Once Were Nerd is far from the only channel posting about these devices, though. Officials seized more than 30 handheld consoles and demanded copies of Once Were Nerd's correspondence with the companies making these devices. Once Were Nerd says he has cooperated fully with investigators and contends that he has done nothing wrong.
