She/Her. I have strong opinions about (but not limited to) the NFL, NBA (Go Warriors), television, classic films (1930s-1960s), Star Wars, and the MCU (specifically Tony Stark, Loki and James 'Bucky' Barnes).

Increasingly think about this. And if you have the stomach to listen to him, he sounds like his battery is under 10 percent.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."
Cheesecake Factory is catching strays today and it's really thanks to the GOP, which can't comprehend insults that rise above a petulant 5 year old butchering names. Also, CF should embrace this as Arby's did when Jon Stewart made Arby's the butt of jokes during his original TDS run. 😁
Obama: Trump is like Saddam Hussein. Every Republican in unison: He said WHAT about the Cheesecake Factory???!!

I know not everyone follows politics all that closely so I will note that Republicans do not typically need to send a bunch of emergency cash to senate races in Mississippi bsky.app/profile/jame...
"Senate Republicans are weighing...a cash infusion for Mississippi and even more money for South Carolina and Kansas." "Democratic challengers are polling within the margin of error in more than half a dozen deep-red states, according to internal GOP polls."
Yeaaahhhh, this is another thing that is not going to go as they planned. 😆
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

Yes, I want well qualified elected officials who try to fulfill campaign promises and work to make my life better, but on a superficial level I also support more jacked hot dudes in Congress. 😁
so the thing about El-Sayed's comma team is they understand his appeal. they're not trying to emulate the 'i'm your smiling Sesame Street mayor" that worked so well for Mamdani. because Mamdani *IS* a smiling Sesame Street mayor. El-Sayed is a jacked hot dude who has real swagger
Even Democrats can be guilty of hyperbole, but I've read about Musk buying up farmland and trying to buy state parks in Texas for his data centers and Space X expansion and what Talarico is saying is 100% true.
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Georgia: 40% increase in first-day turnout compared with the 2022 midterms, and more than double the first-day participation seen during the 2018 midterms. "Early ballots in North Carolina and Maine are up 38% from the last midterms, while Iowa has seen a 61% increase" www.kark.com/news/early-v...

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

Oh, it gets even better.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...
I hate the racism and Islamophobia constantly on display, but it's hilarious watching this dipshit and the entire GOP act like the country's future depends on who wins ONE US Senate seat. Who knew Michigan was so all powerful?
Trump: "His name is Abdul, but I call him Mohammad Abdul El-Sayed. He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy 100%."
