dems: burning billions of tons of fossil fuels is heating the ocean and will cause freak weather events to become normal events gop: thatâs insane (freak weather events become normal events) gop: the democrats have a secret hurricane spawning machine
Even if Harris wins, the left needs to find a new version of Bernie and run a primary candidate in 2028, purely to maintain its power inside the party. Otherwise this party is guaranteed to drift right. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/run-a-left...
Stopping the party's rightward drift means having a real primary.
This is why it's so enraging to see Sean O'Brien saying how Republicans are good for workers (which he did again on a podcast this week) at the same time the Teamsters were making statements about supporting the longshoremen. There is a 100% chance any R president would have crushed that strike.

Florida has become the state where elements of a future second Trump presidency America already comes into view. We're seeing some of these things happening right now in Florida. The example I'
it's so funny watching the media launder Zuckerberg's reputation again, all he has to do is give a few goofy softball interviews to The Verge and Bloomberg and dress like Kevin Federline while saying "AI is the next revolution" and the media is like "wow. a whole new zuck. incredible..."
For 30 years cryptographers have been telling everyone that this is what would happen if US law enforcement and signals intelligence purposefully created backdoors www.wsj.com/tech/cyberse...
About 7,000 votes in 5 congressional districts in 2022 was the difference between Rs controlling the House and Ds. Value of a swing voter in these districts was *many millions of dollars per voter.* I'm always surprised how little Americans spend on politics, and how many simply don't vote at all.
