If you live near me in ANC 4C06 I am endorsing John Qua. I met John through safe streets advocacy work and have been impressed. He's endorsed by GGW & DC YIMBYS. Our current Commissioner seems fine but hasn't responded to any emails I've sent. I've heard the same from other neighbors. That's not ok.

I am not ready for the emotional stage of the Backyard Ultra world team championship ending.

heres a list of all of viveks big money donors this campaign, if you wanna ask some of them how they feel about his recent ad docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

NRO obtained court records showing Acton did in fact face abuse and her mother and Vivek are just straight up lying www.nationalreview.com/news/amy-act...

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Make your plan to vote early:

Meta’s explanation still doesn’t add up.

Aggressive drivers and their elected enablers everywhere:

Susan Collins hasn't changed? From 1997 - 2016 she voted with the GOP on party line votes 59% of the time. In 2017 she voted with Trump 90% of the time. In 2025 she voted with him 95%. So many media folks desperate to make the pickle Collins finds herself in someone else's fault. #MEpolitics

For folks outside of DC: the "DC Safe Streets Coalition" is neither about safety, nor a coalition, although I suppose it's probably mostly based in DC.

The John Fetterman-Dave McCormick joint fundraising committee Common Ground PA raised $261K. Is that a paltry sum, or a poultry sum? Well, much of the organic support came from eight Bell & Evans 🐓 executives ($50K) and six members of the Jaindl 🦃 family ($45K). docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/form...

I was sad but not surprised to see that Commissioner Alan Kensek used his ANC email for snide remarks on the body of a female politician he dislikes. This is part of a pattern where after, say, 8 or 9pm, the tone of his emails changes drastically. bsky.app/profile/anot...

More damaging revelations about Ken Paxton: A previously unreported New Year’s Eve 2024 celebration where Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives from U.S. justice and a woman who wasn’t his wife on.wsj.com/4yKLe4d

Another banger from @donnermaps.bsky.social: September polls of House races with named candidates suggested a D+11 environment. But does that actually mean anything for the midterms? The answer is yes.

Lisa Rucker, running against the terrible Commissioner Alan Kensek has a fundraising page. Please consider giving to her race and help replace Kensek with a decent person. goodchange.app/f/lisa-rucke...

4. In 1B05 Lisa Rucker is running against Commissioner Alan Kensek. Alan is known for horrible behavior and especially egregious treatment of women. He appallingly used his government email to publicly comment on Councilmember Nadeau’s weight. #ANCRacesToWatch

Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Q: Do you regret hiring a Nazi sympathizer as your political director? SEN. HUSTED: ... Q: There's just no comment on that? HUSTED: ... Q: There's just no comment on that? Nothing to the Jewish community? HUSTED: *walks away*

Here goes nothing! Excited to say that I’m running for ANC in SMD 5E 06. I will say “yes” to nice things, road safety, and housing. Endorsed by @ggwash.org and @dcyimbys.bsky.social

lol holy shit I wouldn't talk about literally anything else if I was the guy running against him. —"What do you think about trans kids in sp-" —"Did you hear my opponent had his patient, who was 8 months pregnant, arrested in front of her son because she didn't pay a $50 medical bill?"

President Trump-Rubio are reportedly preparing to unleash sweeping sanctions to cripple International Criminal Court. One potential consequence: The release of some of the world's worst criminals held by the Court. Case 1: Philippines' Duterte held for crimes against humanity

that 18 percent seems really well represented in the news and on social media bsky.app/profile/atru...

Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month: wapo.st/4yfNHng
