this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

Did my part! Have you done yours?

Tidal (the music app) has decided to serve me b-sides and one hit wonders from the '80s today, and my 55-y-o heart is here for it. 🎶🎵

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice “weaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.

Yes, exactly this. Outstanding thread. 👇

Same! Heading over for IPEV tomorrow, likely around midday. Have already checked out my sample ballot from findmypollsite.vote.nyc and know how I'll be voting for every candidate and proposal.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

#NetsSky, less than three hours to go! (Stole the below from @Jersey2Brooklyn over at the bad place.)

This is a bold one to release after it was announced just this week that the NRCC is triaging Singer. lol

Booya. The 50+1 aggregate just hit a flat D+9 for the first time. 💪

Damn it, Hal.

Hope? Hope for whom? You MFers have gone from sanewashing and bothsidesing to outright rooting for fascists.

Nationalize SpaceX and we are all owners

I don't believe in past lives, but if I did I'd be 100 percent sure that at least two of my previous ones involved dying on a barricade in Paris.

Completely ignoring the lesson of the Magyar election in Hungary. SMDH

New low, high, and (obviously) net disapprove this morning. Keep it up, Donnie!

These are memes absolute table stakes, IMO.

Dayum.

Whoa, first the bribery scandal and now this? x.com/AdImpact_Pol...

People who think this guy has a shot in the primary simply because he has a B / B+ online troll game haven't envisioned what his opponents are going to do to him in debates and on the airwaves... (And that's before we even get into the overall oily vibe/appearance.)

California electeds sold the nation down the river on the Paramount merger in pursuit of guaranteed film production jobs, which is the thing they think people care about the most. If you don't want a repeat of that, kick Bass out of City Hall and make sure Newsom doesn't exceed 3% in South Carolina.

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Cracked down on bad landlords -Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services This is what leadership looks like.

Oh my God, this was a recurring nightmare of mine during and *well* after I left M&A.

My God. He lost another full point *overnight.* New highs for disapproval and net disapprove, new low for approval, obviously. Meanwhile the gulf in the generic has widened from D+6 to D+8 in just the last two weeks alone.

My Mayor.

Let's see what's going on over at the ol' fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv... this AM. 👀 That's a 0.5% gain in disapproval and a 0.5% loss in approval over the space of just ~14 hours, driving a full 1.0% bump to net disapprove, up to -27%. All new records by *big* numbers for the 2nd day in a row.

Yeah, all schadenfreude for Paxton aside... *THIS.* Fucking fuck that guy forever.

Holy good gravy: over the course of the day, we've now hit new records (by a lot!) for disapprove and net disapprove. All while only 0.1% from his all-time low.

🚨🚨🚨 WE HAVE A POLL WITH SUB-30 PRESIDENTIAL APPROVAL 🚨🚨🚨 (Also a new record for disapprove on the aggregate.)

I agree with the premise of this post but also would definitely not mind losing Moskowitz in an otherwise blue tsunami.

Good morning, #NetsSky. We’re now only one week from media day for the 2026-2027 season! 😊 ⚫️⚪️🏀

WaPo Exclusive: More American service members have died during the Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly. Five of the officials said there have been at least 22 military fatalities — four more than what appears in the Pentagon's public database.

Um, folks, is that good? bsky.app/profile/unus...

I want to believe... www.270towin.com/2026-senate-...

Yep. We could govern for a decade or more if we could only kick the G-D establishment and their enablers (strategists) out of power in the party.

Oh man, I feel this so hard. My pup *just* turned 11 in July, and bang, he’s started sundowning. It seems so unfair. I love him to pieces, but also, it’s so very hard to live like this, with him either constantly weeping or barking angrily/confusedly at me, from 5 to 10 or 11pm every night. 😢

The NY Times is in “but her emails” mode regarding Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker. Relentless and unfair. Where’s the big story about a Republican megadonor who is a white supremacist? Maybe NYT has heard of him. His name‘s Elon Musk.

There's really no good argument against it, especially if Dems take the Senate. A distraction? Futile? As opposed to what, passing bills that you can't get past a veto anyway? Oversight? You get more attention and stronger legal tools with impeachment. Just do the right thing, it's good politics!

Is that good? (Finance guy here. No, it's not good.)

the "Sheeran effect" seems like a useful shorthand to start using

Anthony Volpe! AL East still in play, baby.

every single republican president of my lifetime has started a war in the middle east and destroyed the economy

For my Nets crew: training camp is now less than two weeks away. There are still good things in the world!
