Genuinely, what on Earth is going on? In what universe would the Dem candidate campaign with the guy who is dropping out because he's a rapist? I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Living in Brooklyn during this whole Knicks run has been a blast (not when the C's lost) and I've loved seeing my many Knicks fan friends so happy, but I need Knicks fans to chill out on the Wemby hate. The kid is not a villain or an avatar of the Trump era, he's a kid (a talented one!).
If you would like to see what the scenes were like in Brooklyn after OG’s game winner…
Look, I understand that he's the nominee now, but I do not think Democratic Senate nominees should be running on the line that the Democratic Party is pro-Epstein. Like I get running as an outsider vs. the establishment and all that, but this is well beyond that and the worst kind of slopulism.
I would pay money to watch this team scrimmage each other (if they were all mic'd up).
Look, I hate to bring over posts from the bad place, but given that he somehow remains influential with some folks on our side of the aisle, I have to say: what the absolute hell, man?
I was pretty skeptical when I heard they were making it, but this from his estate did make me a bit more open to it.
I know I'm taking the bait, but I have no idea who Alex Thompson is talking about here. I worked in PPO for 3 of the 4 years Pres. Biden was in office and had very good visibility on staffing for 2 of them. This idea that there was some huge mass of Warren and Bernie staffers in the WH is nuts.
New England does not support your agenda. Get the entire hell out of here with this crap. No one in Boston forgets what you did to Rumeysa Ozturk.
Caught @benmckenzie.bsky.social’s new crypto doc (and Q&A!) at the IFC tonight. Recommended viewing for everyone who thinks they “don’t get” crypto (spoiler: you’re right and it’s as fraudulent as you think!) and mandatory viewing for my fellow Dem staffers getting sold a BS story by lobbyists.
That’s not how Article V works! You attacked them, not the other way around!
The WSJ front page is a whole bundle of confusion right now. Specifically, the Dow rising and oil falling on news that...the conflict *might* end by mid-May? That's a long time from now!
Flipping from describing USAID as a lifesaving humanitarian aid agency to previously being one of "imperially-focused influence" is, frankly, fucking outrageous the day before a primary. Not my district, so my voice doesn't matter, but falling for propaganda about USAID and NED is disqualifying.
Why are senior DOJ officials posting from their official Twitter accounts like it's an AOL Instant Messenger away message from 2002? Needs more Dashboard Confessional lyrics, though (or was that just me? Don't answer that).
This guy in the replies, too, like he didn’t work at the engagement farming factory with the Pod Save guys.
While the other half of your national security team is still in DC. Something is very strange about this?
