I'll admit that I'm a certified monarchy hater so take this with a grain of salt but also *this country* explicitly rejected monarchy so "no kings" is a perfectly fine slogan thanks.

FWIW I'm flat-out anti-monarchy. Period. Inherited power - even symbolic - is inherently problematic and anti-democratic. This is a hill I *will* die on.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

Change is coming.

Andrew Solender @andrewsolender.bsky.social · 6d

NEW: Justin Pearson of the "Tennessee 3" is challenging Rep. Steve Cohen.

There's an age dynamic: Cohen is 76, Pearson is 30.

And an ideological one: Cohen left CPC last year + is pro-Israel. Pearson says war in Gaza is a "genocide."

"Tennessee Three" member Justin Pearson runs to oust Rep. Steve Cohen

Pearson is one of the most high-profile primary challengers to an older House Democrat.

We know that the GOP will use every Democrat who dies in office as a way to increase the GOP majority, whether by refusing to hold elections or by refusing to seat the winners.

The Democratic primary voters must respond by choosing younger candidates.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

I’ll say it again. We would actually be MUCH better served by a media that chased clicks, page views, and subscriptions.

Our media spends its time representing their owner’s broader capital interests, rather than the capital interests of the outlet itself.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.
