When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.
We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.
This is YOUR city!

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.
"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

We've seen enough. Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle.
🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,976 votes, which means that the race is no longer in automatic recount territory.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Wow. While we wait for the few remaining ballots to be counted, we feel like we have won this race. The recent drop put us nearly 1,400 votes ahead, just under the .5 percent threshold for a mandatory recount.

A panel on .... reversing aging and transhumanism? Russell Brand as the fucking keynote speaker? So it's just all grift then.
There's an exclusive, closed-to-media MAHA summit tomorrow. Here's the full agenda I was leaked
In attendance will be JD Vance, RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, actor Russell Brand (who is facing rape and sexual assault charges), and dozens of other MAHA influencers and people in Trump's orbit

I would like to take this opportunity to get on the record and apologize: I had complained about how every single thing at the grocery store now costs five dollars more than it used to, but I had not seen the latest data from DoorDash's State of Local Commerce report, which disproves that.

We spend considerably more on a worse system, and then are constantly lectured that a universal care system will cost too much.
The US spends over a sixth of our GDP on healthcare, far more than other similar countries.
America wasn’t always such an outlier, though – back in 1970, we had more similar spending levels.

& also like during covid, Trump is fundamentally not capable of solving the current affordability crisis specifically bc Trumps idea of solving a problem is bullshitting ppl to their faces & saying its fixed. Actually fixing a problem is not in his tool set. All he knows how to do is lie on camera.
During Trump I, Trump was largely fine re: economic sentiment right until the point where the president actually needed to do stuff--ie the pandemic happened.
It will never not be crazy to me that America thought a guy infamous for driving businesses into the ground wouldnt do the same to us.

A related irony is that he inherited a strong economy from Obama and reaped all the credit with public sentiment for not touching it, then torched that credit in Term Two by actually making economic policy

5. *The Democrats traded their power for an IOU*. Their power was the filibuster. The IOU is a vote on Obamacare subsidies. Not a promise to renew them, just a promise to hold a vote – in January! There’s nothing saying Senate Majority Leader John Thune will honor the IOU.

1. From the Associated Press: “On Sunday, a group of moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies, angering many in their caucus who say Americans want them to continue the fight.”
They voted out the bill last night.
