Great thread. And this is why Lakshya Jain isn't wrong to say that Democratic candidates who find some way to distinguish themselves from the party will fare better. The conclusion I'd draw from that, though, is not that "moderate = better," but that those candidates by necessity will be 1/

Really nice illustration of how the last rounds of NYC mayoral primary voting went. You can see how important it is for mid-tier candidates to name a second choice for their supporters.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Went to a specialist at one of the most prestigious medical research institutions in the country yesterday. This doctor is a—if not the—leading expert in their field. After discussing my treatment, they told me their research is on pause because all their grants were cut by the Trump administration.

I cannot stress enough how important this is about to be. The Sovereign Solutions IG page claims to train military clients such as the 75th Ranger Regiment, Special Forces Groups, and 1st Marine Division. If the DoD is actively engaging with companies ran by literal Nazis, it's a big fucking deal.

Dear @startribune.com "Trans rights" are not "an issue." Trans rights are human rights because trans people are people. Calling trans people's fight to have their inalienable civil and human rights recognized and defended "an issue" is quite literally de-humanizing.

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
