Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Smart move by Mike Rogers' staff to set up his earpiece so it mutes any reference to Trump.
WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda? MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan

New video up! Kind of a follow-on from the last one, because a YouTube comment made me feel bad for the author and I think a lot of people are buying into the mindset that it conveyed. Things wander from there. Cool jackets are mentioned. Next one is a cybersecurity talk. youtu.be/a7gxS7w5gi0

what an astonishingly awful man Hasan is talking to
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

The DCCC funding this means that the Democratic party itself, not individual politicians, is endorsing anti-trans policies as an electoral talking point
In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Remember when Pete Hegseth's mom wrote him a letter telling him he was a misogynistic POS?
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

he really did say that shit
Just now - Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said Tesla's goal is to "take over any kind of transportation." CEO Elon Musk said he predicts, barring regulation and protectionism, "Tesla will end up doing a majority of all passenger miles on Earth in any country where it is allowed to operate freely."

they will be studying how dogshit the marketing and PR strategy of US AI companies was in the 2020s for the next 400 years. they’re calling them the worst to ever do it
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I love the FT, but any article about this potential merger that doesn't mention the only obvious, screaming motivation for the whole thing happening is engaged in journalistic malpractice this is all about speedrunning a nearly trillion dollar pay package 🎁🔗: www.wsj.com/business/see...

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

"refilling the nitrogen tanks isn't something you'll be doing at home, and at the moment it takes six to seven hours to fill all 600 liters" well yeah, until Tesla builds out its worldwide network of Nitrochargers and California subsidizes a prototype nitrogen swap system

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.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."
