This.
This is a far more elegant and clear way of describing what's necessary - what we need today - than I've been able to do. This is what absolutely claws at me from moderates & those who've already given up even trying to run another woman candidate.
Now is the time to dig in & double-down!!
this piece has been in the works a while but honestly i could not have asked for a better foil than ezra klein's interview with ta-nehisi coates. klein longs for peacetime--but you don't get to decide when you're in a fight.

I understand the freakout here but honestly this one reads as a sign of weakness to me
a) peltola is going to win by more than the second dan sullivan's margin
b) this argument is pathetic, and if their strategy is 'throw pathetic shit at the wall and hope something sticks' I'm less worried

β‘οΈοΈοΈοΈοΈοΈοΈKyiv denies reports that Trump, Musk have restored Starlink speeds in Ukraine.
"Overall, nothing has changed anywhere," a Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 22. Starlink's speed cap of 161 kilometers per hour remains in effect, the official said.
The allowance if this restriction cost lives and possibly limbs. I'm glad to see restrictions lifted, but this was always bullshit and SoaceX needs to pay the price for it.
This also means: don't chase hype trains. But also realizing that even the S&P and NASDAQ are hype trains right now. They're heavily centralized around just a couple of companies.
I'd rather be in the equal weight S&P ($RSP) than in the index weighted about 40% towards 7 companies.

Few people on Bluesky are talking about what Cenk Uygur is up to (he claims to be planning to out a US Senator as secretly gay). Just remember, when it happens, that Cenk is not a progressive, he is a ratfucker. He's platformed the far right. Do not amplify his October Surprise when it comes.
Post from GOP nominee for Florida state House seat, calling for βRemigrationβ (ethnic cleansing) & touting protests against βSharia.β
He was active w/ white supremacist group; marched at infamous Nazi rally in Charlottesville; advocated executing LGBTQ people
No pushback from GOP. Expected to win
Think isn't the word I'd use.
The debt financing all of these, the lack of available power/infrastructure, and the nonsense around GPU's right now doesn't make this a guess. Anthropic and OpenAI had <$20b in revenue last year and >$200b in obligated data center spend in 2027. It's dead.
Anyone else think weβre headed for a massive data center bubble?
Weβre going to end up with a bunch of empty, useless data centers.
πΊπΈ US: 5,427 data centers
π¨π³ China: 449 data centers
The U.S. already has 46% of the worldβs data centers.
This is insanity.

Katie Zacharia was in the middle of an interview with WSJ when she was ousted.
She was telling The Journal about her plans for the role.
Then Jason Miller knocked on her door. 'JD wanted to chat with us real quick.'
Zacharia never returned β to the interview, or the job.
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."
And of course Blue Owl - one of the biggest financiers for data centers - would be directly connected.
That whole damn company is going to go under with all the fraud and bullshit they're backing.
β.. a high-octane metaphor for the presidentβs approach to governing, with all its corner-cutting and haste and disdain for regulation .. the tale of Freedom Fuel also shows how the administrationβs free-wheeling approach to problems can create an even bigger mess.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.
The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.
As crazy as this sounds, this is partially correct. Though we don't need to nationalize the entirety of SpaceX, mostly just Starlink and the government needs to have a demonstrable say in the actual space business.
Even if it is Elon, we can't criminalize the amount of investment that's been done
We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.
Well, there you have it. They're trying, they're just not getting bites because of how much they're demanding in repayment.
It seems everyone important has figured out the game is fucked and prices aren't going away.

In case you're wondering if gas prices will be coming down soon:
I wouldn't count on it.
That said, I wouldn't be shocked if Trump attempts to release ~15-30k barrels into the market just before the election. It will be very temporary though as he's close to hitting a statutory minimum in the SPR.

A full Zachariah doesn't quite have the same ring as a full Scaramucci, the bigger question might be whether or not she lasted long enough to even be remembered the same way.
Markwayne Mullin reveals that the Trump admin is trying to build a RICO case against Ilhan Omar: "There was conspiracy to deceive the American govt, and therefore everything else that came in with it could then be looked at as the same case ... the statute of limitations on things, they don't apply"
βοΈ Polish Foreign Minister RadosΕaw Sikorski challenged Elon Musk over the latest Starlink restrictions affecting Ukraine. βAre you playing politics with your products again?β Sikorski said. βAs your European customers, we are watching you.β Poland pays for Starlink services used by Ukraine #Ukraine
Ukraineβs 7th Air Assault Corps confirms Starlink issues on the Huliaipole axis. Starshield connections began dropping for 10-20 seconds as UAVs reached 110-120 km/h. The disruption has already forced one unmanned systems unit to cancel some missions today. #Ukraine
βοΈ Ukrainian monitoring channels report restrictions on Starlink terminals overnight. Connectivity allegedly disappeared when moving faster than 160 km/h and returned within about a minute after stopping. The reported restrictions remain unconfirmed, with official information still awaitedβ¦ #Ukraine
Kristan Hawkins and Students for Life are being sued under one of Texas's bounty hunter laws for buying abortion pills. Mother Jones caught their dumb public stunt on camera.
It's the very definition of being hoisted by one's own petard.

RFK Jr announces a new initiative to kick people off their healthcare coverage but insists it's no big deal because "they don't even know they were enrolled in anything. They never make a claim."
π¬ Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad π¬
Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka
Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Trump: A lot of men like to watch her. Sophie Cunningham is a beautiful young woman. You probably wouldn't mind her on the team not to help you with points, but to help you with attendance.
