Ridiculous to mention Manny Rutinel in the same breath as most of the other names here, though I'm sure the progressive left would be more than happy to bet its "future" on the outcome in a tossup district in a D+10 environment.

Islamophobia 2.0 really exposes how phony the intellectual pose of Islamophobia 1.0 was.

Every time I look at data like this I'm baffled all over again by the extreme Democratic underinvestment in CD3 relative to CD5. If anything can explain spending 5X the money to flip a district that after all that $$ is *still* twice as R-leaning as CD3 was four years ago, I have yet to hear it.

Hard to get too worked up about this snooze of a segment but quoting a denial from the administration attributing the retaliation to "independent agency decisions" without noting (or even being aware of?) the smoking-gun email disproving that lie is just incredibly sloppy work.

“prediction market”

Thought it was pretty funny when they broke the Collins story and every regular person who read it was like "oh my god what a bombshell" and every lawmaker of either party who was asked about it on the Hill was like "uhh it's, well, the thing is, sorry I have to take this call"

Timeline 1876: 150 years ago this week, a dispute over Colorado’s at-large congressional seat arose in the wake of the first elections after statehood.

I think we all know what it means, but I can't get over the idea that Castle Rock in the year 2026 has "small-town character." Criss-crossing my suburban megaplex on six-lane arterials between various big-box parking lots all day and convincing myself I'm the house-call doctor in Winesburg Ohio

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

what gets me about the current surge in resistance to climate policy is it has never been more obviously necessary, cheap, or easy. half this stuff is on the shelf!!

This comports well with my hypothesis that people don't think the economy is bad so much as evil

After 13 months in an Aurora immigrant detention center, where he became reliant on a wheelchair as his health deteriorated, a Ugandan priest who has lived in Colorado for more than 25 years was released by federal immigration officials. By @lindseytoomer.bsky.social

Incredible work here from Osita Nwanevu

Does no one feel embarrassed anymore

From a campaign that's typically very disciplined and has projected confidence up to this point, this is a very "internals looking dire" post from Gabe Evans, imo. Two weeks out and you're pivoting from "he's a soft-on-crime vegan socialist" to "he's a corporatist Palantir stooge"?

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

Even the greatest baseball team of my lifetime, a decade-plus into a historic run of dominance, is not immune from the effects of close contact with the failking of America. Remarkable stuff. defector.com/the-dodgers-...

"Some of the stories don’t come with bylines, though, because they have two writers who work in state government, Underwood said, and they don’t want their names published." Uh-huh.

"how to do industrial policy well" remains a genuinely vexed question. "how to do industrial policy in the worst way possible," on the other hand,

Literally, objectively, just making stuff up.

The right wing crash out over asian students celebrating at a UT football game reveals that all along the true goal of reactionary colorblindness was never “meritocracy” but resegregation. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
