"socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!” Hang it in the Louvre
Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Happy season opener to all who celebrate. My season preview is up at Minnpost, excited for what will be an audacious ride. With predicted standings for the Eastern and Western Conferences in the And One newsletter. www.minnpost.com/sports/timbe...
This guy got paid $250,000.00 to disrupt AES's event. A QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR ONE-OFF. It obviously didn't work, but now I'm thinking (for no reason whatsoever) about how Democratic leadership has treated grassroots activists with barely disguised contempt for *decades*
Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

And Lift Off! A glorious launch of #MMX, the start of an amazingly awesome 5 yr round trip to Mars' moon Phobos. 1yr to get there, 3yrs exploration landing on the surface (twice), then 1yr to get home with the bounty (2tbls of Phobos dust), arriving in the Australian outback in 2031! 🥳🔭🧪🛰️🚀
JAXA Rocket launch to Mars imminent! 🍿: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn6g...

This guy's pretty good at this
El- Sayed: "Here‘s the thing about it – no matter who you are, how you love, how you pray, how you identify, it just should not be this hard... Shouldn‘t be this hard to keep our money here. Spend it on roads and bridges here, build our schools here, provide healthcare here. Shouldn‘t be this hard"

DSA basically figured out the secret sauce for getting everyone on the left (views ranging from social democrats to communists) to organize in a productive way without succumbing to infighting. If you haven't been in a left wing organization before, you hav no idea how difficult that is

Derek Guy is a national treasure (and he doesn't need me to tell him so), but it's maybe not a *great* thing that "the well known public authority on menswear" is more well read on issues of state violence than 99% of big name national political writers...
Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.
Memo to Chuck Schumer: When you've lost Michael Bennett....
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, a moderate, calls the Democratic establishment a “failed enterprise“ & says the party needs to rethink its economic agenda & that shutting DSA & the party’s insurgent left out of a new Democratic coalition would be a “huge mistake.” www.levernews.com/two-obama-er...

And so it begins… The Infusion of El Niño in our weather patterns. In this case its impact on #isaias Notice the early season invigorated subtropical jet courtesy of #elnino This will both weaken Isaias as it makes landfall, but also infuse it with extratropical characteristics… 1/
We have an unusually High #Tornado Threat from #Hurricane Isaias This movie uses real data, to help educate on why this storm poses an enhanced risk. Notice the yellow vs blue arrows. Yellow are the winds just below the clouds, it’s the low level wind flow (jet) around and feeding into the storm…

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.
NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings. w/ @regret.bsky.social

"Wait, it gets dumber" is the most universally accurate thing you can say about each and every individual story about Trump and/or his enablers
BREAKING: MS NOW EXCLUSIVE. Republican Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway. GOP Judiciary staff told Schmitt the texts — obtained from the Trump DOJ — were "unvetted." Schmitt still used them.

Yeah, totally normal to make wartime bombing decisions based on... election dates. But then again, threatening to annihilate an entire population with nukes should've gotten him impeached under the 25th, but here we are.
Exclusive: Trump has rejected Iran's proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and has told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterms, officials said.

There is a lot of shadiness here. But the fact that Bessent referred to an account that is managing sovereign assets of a foreign nation as a large asset on the US balance sheet is a BFD. It's either theft or he doesn't understand basic accounting.
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons BESSENT: Again, this is one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheets CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons? BESSENT: No
